It’s unusual for a home built in 1936 to have en suite baths – but this jewel nestled in River Oaks  at 3775 Del Monte does; each bedroom has its own bath. Remaining within the same family since it was built, this home also has other features that are original to the house … the mahogany staircase with turned balusters and carved newel post, the vintage Carrara®  glass walls in the Kitchen and Bath …. so gorgeous … and hardwood floors throughout.

The architectural styling is an excellent example of Tudor Revival and the interior is nicely laid out and very livable.  Formals, Library/Study, Solarium, Kitchen, Butler’s Pantry .. the rooms easily flow from one to another, with an abundance of natural light due to the tall (6’) divided light steel casement windows.

You may find it helpful to open the AMENITIES TEXT and read every detail in an easy to follow room-by-room format.

Or, maybe now would be a good time to open up the SMARTePLAN so you can look more closely at the layout and all the features and finishes in this home.  When the PDF file launches … if you hold down your CTRL key and roll your mouse wheel --- that’s the easiest way to zoom in and zoom out of the drawing – so no detail is ever too small to be appreciated.

Other Things Worth Mentioning

• All the secondary bedrooms are quite large and feature hardwood floors

• The Master Suite is large, luxurious and set apart and secluded from the rest of the home and includes a separate attached Sitting Room with windows on five sides and hardwood floor.

• Large Attic with Cedar Closet and a significant amount of standing-height floored attic storage space – which can be sometimes hard to find in Houston

• Extensively landscaped gardens with impressive outdoor living space and several terraces.  The original owner was one of the seven founding members of The Garden Club of Houston; and the variety of garden-scapes (formal , informal, tropical, native, etc.) as well as the water features are, no doubt, a testament to her love of garden design

This City of Houston Protected Landmark in River Oaks is a unique property, and provides a nostalgic glance backwards to the time when River Oaks was a brand new neighborhood. It’s also a rare opportunity to purchase a home that has been closely held within a family for nearly 80 years.  This well-loved and well cared for home is sure to delight even the most discriminating buyer.

If you are looking for a distinctive residence in River Oaks,  you need to view this one.
