11603 Blalock is located in the Bunker Hill / Memorial area of Houston, on a corner lot with a wide circular drive.
You enter this 3-story, 5-6 bedroom home via the elegantly appointed 2-story Foyer with inlaid travertine floor and sweeping staircase curving up to the second level.
The large formal Dining Room and Living Room, accented by tall divided light windows with arched transoms, are placed across the front of the home, providing great flow for entertaining.
Open up the SMARTeplan floor plan and you’ll be able to see what I mean. See how the mahogany paneled Wet Bar is easily accessed through the Living Room, yet is directly adjacent to the Paneled Mahogany Study? The long Gallery Hallway stretches from the Paneled Study all the way to the Entry Foyer and is also open to the Family Room, with its fireplace and dramatic bow window, as well as the Powder Room. Like I said, Great flow for entertaining.
Since we’ve opened up the SMARTePLAN Floor PLAN let me also direct you to the Amenities Text which consists of a full description of finishes and features, in a room-by-room format. You’ll see extensive carved millwork and moldings throughout the property, mahogany paneling, inlaid travertine floors --- and unique to this home is extensive art lighting with adjustable heads and dimmers featuring the Lutron one-touch lighting system.
Click on the blue arrowheads to launch each photo embedded inside the floor plan and then magnify your screen so you can scrutinize every detail. The arrowhead shows where the photographer was standing, and the angle of his shot, when he took the photo. In combination with viewing the floor plan, use the Amenities Text as your guidebook as you tour the property and you’ll quickly see that with this property – buyers “get more”.
The large granite Kitchen (19’ x 17’) includes custom cabinetry, breakfast bar seating, and abundant built-in storage ---- as well as a Wine Nook, Kitchen Office and walk-in Pantry with wrap-around shelves. This Kitchen also has all the modern appliances you want with the brand names you respect ----- SubZero, Thermador and Sharp. The Kitchen is open to the Breakfast Room (22’ x 15’) with a wonderful curvilinear glass wall overlooking the rear garden terrace and pool.
The private first floor Master Suite is in its own wing, but also opens onto the garden courtyard and pool terrace. Just by looking at the true-to-scale SMARTePLAN you can see the Master Suite takes up about one-third of the home space on the first floor --- with a gas log fireplace, luxurious Master Bath and two large walk-in Master Closets (each one est. 13’ x 7’) with custom organizational built-ins to help you maximize the use of every inch of space ---- it’s move-in ready! NICE!
The second floor also has a “Master Suite”. That’s right, this property has two master suites. If you are caring for elder family members, this may be just the home for you. Look at the configuration of the second floor and particularly Bedroom # 3 and Bedroom # 4 that are set up as a suite. You can see Bedroom # 3 has an en suite ADA compliant Marble Bath complete with wheelchair accessible sink, shower and toilet.
Since Bedroom # 4’s bath is separate, it is perfect as a companion area – far enough away for privacy, but close enough in proximity to be practical.
The adjacent large Game Room with built-in Kitchenette and elevator access makes this space an ideal suite of rooms for those needing a little extra space for care-giving --- even a balcony --- to catch a nice breeze and enjoy being outside! (Photo is from 2nd Floor Balcony Overlooking the Pool). So the second floor is very flexible and can be used as Bedrooms/Gameroom or not. No matter what the needs of your family, this property has space to accommodate them in style and comfort.
So put this one on your list to see. This three-story brick home with pool on a corner lot in Bunker Hill / Memorial location is elegant and spacious and features an ADA compliant mother-in-law suite / care giver suite with private wheelchair bath and elevator access.
Thanks for stopping by!
