SOLD - After 38 Days on Market [Links to Floor Plans have been Disengaged]
Classic Prairie styling distinguishes this large family
home for sale in the Bunker Hill/ Memorial Area of Houston, Texas.
Prairie style architecture was founded by Frank Lloyd Wright and is characterized by long horizontal lines; use of natural materials; overhanging eaves that “extend” the outdoor space; and large-sized rooms that are flooded with abundant natural light.
The windows in prairie style architecture are purposefully designed. Not only are they useful (6’ tall or more infuses the room with natural light); but they are carefully placed for cross-ventilation and also frequently provide the sole “ornamentation” to the architecture by use of geometric mullion designs.
A mullion (mull’-yen) is the vertical piece (wood or stone) that separates panes of glass in a window. Frequently these are called “divided light windows”, but in the case of prairie styled homes and especially in this one --- the energy efficient sash windows are distinctly styled: the upper level glass has a geometric mullion design while the pane below the sash is seamless glass --- very elegant and oh so very practical, too. Another distinctive design element in the prairie style is the use of wide-casing around doors and windows ---- and with this home all the doors and windows are identically cased with the clean lines of an architectural pediment.
So let’s take a look at this large family home for sale in the Bunker Hill / Memorial Villages / Memorial area and in the process keep a sharp eye out to spot the Frank Lloyd Wright inspired design elements that give this property such high style and undeniable appeal. 
If you can’t make a trip to the Bunker Hill/ Memorial Area just yet, we can tour this property online right here. Let’s open up the SMARTePLAN and take a closer look at this property by viewing two inter-linked floor plans with photos embedded inside. (Use the zoom features to enlarge the floor plan for your cellphone, laptop or notepad so you can study every detail – the plans magnify to 6400% so no detail is too small.)
Prairie style emphasized large inter-connected rooms that also flow to the outdoors, and this one does not disappoint. By opening the FIRST FLOOR you immediately see how the large Reception Hall (17’ 10” x 10’ 10”) flows to the Mahogany Paneled Study, Dining Room (18’ x 15’) and Living Room (28’ x 20’ 10’ with its built-in granite bar and gas log fireplace.
Is this not just perfect flow for entertaining? The bird’s-eye perspective of the floor plan really shows it off; and since three large rooms on the first floor (Dining Room, Living Room and Family Room) ALSO all open to the outside with covered porches and terraces with overhanging eaves this “perfect flow for entertaining” becomes even more perfect (if that’s possible) by seamlessly extending great entertainment flow to the outdoor spaces as well.
Entertaining isn’t just about “flow” it’s also about having “the right stuff” so let’s turn our attention to that gorgeous granite Kitchen and consider all its features that will support your hosting efforts as well as delight your family, friends and guests.
This elegant granite Kitchen is smartly laid out with a large center island (5’ x 8’) with breakfast bar seating, plenty of food prep space and a vegetable sink. Let’s just quickly count up on our fingers the “tools-of-the-trade” at your disposal in this gourmet Kitchen when it comes to entertaining.
A built-in SubZero® refrigerator/ freezer; two Viking® Pro ovens with bake/ broil/ roast convection capabilities; Miele® steam oven; Viking® warming drawer and a Viking® 6-burner gas cooktop will absolutely help
you cook up a storm.And when it’s time to clean-up …. the oversized stainless steel Julien® sink and two Bosch® dishwashers get it done.
By looking at the floor plan you can see the layout of the kitchen is quite practical ----- and take a look at ALL the storage … nearly every kitchen cabinet has those very convenient pull-out shelves, also a spice trolley and not one walk-in pantry --- but TWO walk-in storage pantries! Did I mention the full Kitchen Bath right around the corner? Sweet.
If you have been launching the floor plans as we go along you’ve noticed that the "Amenities" for each room is printed below each photo once it launches out of the floor plan. You can also access the Amenities Text for the whole property at any time. The reason I mention it here is ….. you probably want to take a minute and read through the Amenities Text for this granite Kitchen, because it really does have a lot a nice features not found in other homes.
So, yes… this is a great home for entertaining, but it is also a large family home with perfectly proportioned space for “family” living. I grew up in a big family and when I see a five bedroom house with ensuite baths … I get pretty excited…. I mean five bedrooms and everybody has their own bathroom .. sign me up!
I also like the centrally located Game Room with a custom built-in entertainment center and plenty of room for a pool table.
The Second Floor Kitchen located next to the Game Room and close to the Media Room is a big PLUS in my book, too. Not only does the Second Floor Kitchen have a refrigerator, sink and microwave, it also has a dishwashing drawer which is so very practical for speedy clean-up of smaller loads.
The Master Suite is set apart from the other bedrooms and is designed for luxurious comfort and privacy. The Master Sitting Room is conveniently located 
next to the Master Bedroom and could be an Office, Study, Exercise Room or even a newborn nursery … you decide.
The Marble Master Bath is divine … ThermoMassuer® jetted pedestal tub, oversized walk-in shower, built-in marble topped drawers, HUGE Walk-In Master Closet and more, more, more.
This is another time where you may want to take a minute and read the Amenities Text to fully appreciate the attention to detail and customization in the Master Suite …. stop a minute and take a look.
And the outdoor space is just as exciting as the inside.
· Extensive professional landscaping with large expanses of grassy lawn as well flowering plants; mature trees; privacy fence; automatic sprinkler system; and exterior building and landscape lighting
· Large rear covered porch with natural stone columns, overhanging eaves, ceiling fans and outdoor natural stone gas log fireplace with elevated bench seat hearth
· The Summer Kitchen with its Viking® stainless grill/ smoker/ rotisserie is hooked up and ready to go
· Oversized 3-Car Garage with built-in Workshop / Hobby Area (10’ x 11’); sealed floor and extended driveway apron (for multiple vehicle parking and easy turn-around)
· Significant standing-height floored attic storage space is accessed via two full-sized pedestrian doors on third floor (See Floor Plan)
Because Houston’s climate is so mild --- outdoor space is JUST as important as indoor space and with its Frank Lloyd Wright inspired styling --- outdoor and indoor spaces in this property are integrated better than perhaps other homes on the market in the Bunker Hill/ Memorial Area. There is plenty to like with this house… you will not be disappointed.
In addition to all the features we visited via the floor plan, this home also has a residential fire sprinkler system installed by the builder. By clicking this link, you can see a 2 minute animated movie of how a residential fire system works and why it’s important. It’s certainly something to consider as I doubt there are many homes on the market in Bunker Hill/ Memorial Villages/Memorial Area with installed residential sprinkler systems.
The point is .. with this property you just get MORE. Print out the Amenities Text and compare it to other homes for sale in Bunker Hill / Memorial Villages/ Memorial Area of Houston. THIS is the one you will come back to again and again --- THIS is the one you want!
This large family home for sale in the Bunker Hill /Memorial Area has five bedrooms with en suite baths on a private cul-de-sac street and is loaded with premium finishes, desirable features, abundant storage, and thoughtful customization. Buyers just plain get “more” with this property than anything else for sale in the Bunker Hill/ Memorial Area.
Thanks for stopping by!
