Located in the very desirable Montebello building near the Galleria and Tanglewood area, this 2-story luxury high rise penthouse has spectacular skyline views of both Downtown and the Galleria. Conveniently close to the shops and superb restaurants in the Galleria, this home with over 4700 square feet features three bedrooms plus Study, an open floor plan, large formals, walk-in wine vault with 400 bottle storage capacity and an amazing and thoughtful attention to design, craftsmanship and finishes.
The subject of several articles and photo essays in “Architectural Digest”, this is a gracious residence that will delight even the most discerning buyer.
Let’s take a look inside by opening the SMARTePLAN. As you can see by viewing the floor plan, the first floor has a large and open Reception Foyer providing a stunning entry … 
your arriving evening guests immediately behold a spectacular view of Downtown at twilight as soon as they walk through the door! The adjacent Formal Dining Room and Formal Living Room boasts the equally appealing Galleria skyline twinkling in the dusk through floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Clicking the photo arrows inside the floor plan will launch each photo, including the views of both Downtown and the Galleria; it’s all linked together, you can’t get lost.
With the floor plan in front of you, it’s easy to appreciate the large amount of space in this residence and also see how well suited it is for entertaining --- allowing guests to effortlessly flow from one room to another. 
Good “flow” for entertaining is always welcome, but let’s take a closer look at why this residence is so special. What makes it unusual may be the extensive and totally customizable electronic wiring throughout the residence with state-of-the-art touch-panel controls for music, TV, remote draperies, sun shades and black-out shades. But what makes it special is the level of taste and style designed into this penthouse. You can get a glimmer of that by accessing the Amenities Text and reviewing the very detailed descriptions of the features and finishes in this residence and compare them to other high rises for sale in houston, like custom cabinetry, custom lighting and maple floors. In plain language … this penthouse just gives you “more”.
Even taking a cursory glance at the Granite Kitchen in the Amenities Text reveals a high level of taste and practicality went into its planning. Thermador®, Dornbracht®, GE Monogram® -- these are all brand names you know and want. I particularly liked the “…Gaggenau® indoor electric grill with 2 independent elements; 9 power levels; perforated stainless steel container with lava stones, and dishwasher safe drip tray..” Oh, I WANT one! That description also makes me want to explore this property in more depth and see EVERYTHING … and it doesn’t take me long to get over to the Walk-In Curvilinear Wine Vault with 400 bottle capacity and rolling library ladder .. oh yeah… I want to know more about this penthouse!
And by walking through the floor plan, popping open the photos and using the Amenities Text as your guide you can tour this property in great detail. Just by eyeballing the drawn-to-scale floor plan of the second floor you can see the sumptuous Master Suite takes up about one-half of the floor space on that level … is that fair to say? 
And my, oh my ---- just explore all the features in the Master Suite … like floor-to-ceiling glass windows with skyline views of both the Downtown and the Galleria, or the built-in Coffee/Juice Bar, or the TWO VERY LARGE Walk-in Master closets, or the wonderful built-in features …. like dual wall-mounted flat-screen TV’s and Walker-Zanger® opalescent tilework … its all so luxurious … but also so LIVABLE… and so well thought out in both function and design.

====================
SMARTePLANS® have photos embedded inside the floor plan that launch with a mouse click .... each photo arrow is positioned in the plan where the photographer was standing --- so you can see where he was and what he was aiming at when he took the shot ... in relationship to the drawing. Beneath the photo is a description of that room. Once the photo launches you have a choice to link back to the floor plan and choose another photo, or read the amenities text for the WHOLE property (not just that particular room). All the files are inter-linked so you can seamlessly click around this property, viewing the photos and reading the descriptions. This is not a video ... you choose what you want to view ... or not
[NOTE: SMARTePLANS® are PDF files so they magnify to well over 100%. When the file launches, click "View" on the top toolbar and make sure there is a checkmark next to the toolbar named "Select and Zoom". Every time you tap the plus key inside the circle the view screen enlarges (the minus key shrinks the magnification); and the magnifying glass with the plus sign in it marquee selects a specific area of the drawings to be enlarged. Using the hand key and the scroll bars, its easy to move around inside the file, and then magnifying the features you want to see.]
