Located on a quiet cul-de-sac street, the property has a wide brick gallery porch across the front and winding paver-stone walkways to the front door bordered by mature trees, grassy lawn and landscape plantings.

By opening the SMARTePLAN Floor Plan you  immediately see how the large Foyer / Reception Hall (15’ x 24’) flows to the Formal Living Room (15’ x 18’) the Formal Dining Room (14’ x 17’) and also features a built-in granite bar providing great flow for entertaining.   

You have to admit this is perfect flow for entertaining? The bird’s-eye perspective of the floor plan really shows it off, particularly the large Family Room with its beamed ceiling with openwork trusses opening to the outside covered porch, Summer Kitchen and pool terrace with overhanging eaves. So now 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.

It’s not all about entertaining, the large family home is perfectly situated for comfortable family living as well; and the heart of the home is the Kitchen. This gorgeous granite Kitchen with beamed ceiling and upper level windows is light and bright and ready to support your hosting efforts as well as delight your family, friends and guests.

 The elegant granite Kitchen is smartly laid out with custom alder wood cabinetry, granite counters and inlaid  tumbled stone backsplash, and features a large center island with  plenty of food prep space, a vegetable sink and storage on all 4 sides.

 Let’s just quickly review the appliances in this cook’s Kitchen.  A built-in SubZero® refrigerator and built-in SubZero freezer (both with cabinet facades); Viking® Range with 4 gas burners, grill, griddle and two glass-faced ovens (one with bake/ broil/ roast convection capabilities); and a pot filler over the range will absolutely help you cook up a storm.

And when it’s time to clean-up …. the two Bosch® dishwashers on either side of the copper apron sink will 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  the size of the large Breakfast Room and  look at ALL the storage …  the walk-in pantry, the Butler’s Panty  and please don’t overlook the walk-in Mud Room that that can be concealed behind a door.  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 the photo launches out of the floor plan. You can also access the Amenities Text for the whole property at any time.

While this is a great home for entertaining, it is also a large family home with perfectly proportioned space for “family” living. I grew up in a large family and I get pretty excited when I see everybody has their own bathroom; so plenty of space for everybody to have their “own” space .. sign me up!

I also like the large Game Room with a custom built-in entertainment center and plenty of room for a pool table. Windows on three sides makes this room light and bright and perfect for family gatherings.  The Homework Den has three built-in desks and abundant drawer and cabinet storage for homework supplies and materials.

The first floor Master Suite is set apart in the home and is designed for luxurious comfort and privacy. The Master Study / Library is conveniently located next to the Living Room, or can be kept as a private part of the Master Suite… connected via a long gallery hallway to the Master Bedroom… you decide. The Marble Master Bath is divine … Jason®  hydrotherapy tub, oversized walk-in shower, two separate sinks , two HUGE Walk-In Master Closets and a laundry. 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 functional and “livable”  as the inside. 

• Professional landscaping with grassy lawn; flowering plants; mature trees; privacy fence; automatic sprinkler system;  and exterior building and landscape lighting

• Large rear covered porch with wood columns, overhanging eaves, ceiling fans and  ample space for outdoor furniture

• The Summer Kitchen with its Viking® stainless grill/ smoker/ rotisserie with electric ignition is waiting for you

• Variable depth heated pool with PebbleTec® surfacing and a nearby pool bath

• Oversized 3-Car Garage with laundry facilities and space for Workshop / Hobby Area; extended driveway apron (for multiple vehicle parking and easy turn-around)

• Briggs and Stratton back-up generator with automatic transfer switch

   

  Because Houston’s climate is so mild --- outdoor space is JUST as important as indoor space and with its covered porch, pool and pool terrace, open air flagstone dining terrace and children’s playscape with soft-landing surfacing --- this Memorial home for sale gives you a lot of livable outdoor space. 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.  

   

  This large family home in Memorial also has a high capacity Briggs and Stratton back-up generator with automatic transfer switch. You lose power .. it comes on automatically. When hurricane season hits .. you’re ready.

   

  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/ and 77024 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 Memorial Villages Area has four - five bedrooms with baths on a quiet 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 currently for sale in the Bunker Hill / Memorial / Memorial Villages Area.

Thanks for stopping by!
