This River Oaks Mid Century Modern gem by renowned architect John F. Staub exudes timeless elegance. The expansive 19,095 sq. ft. corner lot (per HCAD) offers a welcoming parking court and lush private gardens. Lovingly restored and thoughtfully updated, this home blends classic charm with modern comforts. The open formal living and dining areas flow into a light-filled sunroom overlooking the gardens. A gracious wood-paneled study, complete with a cozy fireplace and bay window, adds sophistication. Notable features include stationary floor-to-ceiling picture windows, rich hardwood floors, solid bifold doors, and an imported marble fireplace. The first-floor primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a coffered ceiling, serene garden views, lavish dual full baths, and custom-fitted closets. Two secondary bedrooms with ensuite baths upstairs. The property backs onto the park-like gardens of the historic DeMenil House.
