This award-winning home, designed for the sellers by MC2 Architects & Construction, is one of Houston’s most stunning Modern residences. Superb interior and outdoor spaces unite through seamless glass walls and doors, making terraces, ponds, pool and gardens prominent aspects within the overall design.

Nearly an acre of secluded grounds and dashing International-Style architecture make this Farnham Park home a Modern star. Extensively remodeled in 2013-2014, this “smart house” has a Crestron system that allows I-pad control of all interior and exterior functions.

Minimalist luxury reigns with museum-finished walls in soft grays and whites, perfect for art display; polished Oceanic Blue stone and Silver Thorn travertine floors; rich slab granite, marble Thassos stone and Nano glass surfaces; and sleek Bulthaup cabinetry.

The home’s double-height walls of glass create a seamless transition between outside and inside, creating an illusion of unlimited space within this sophisticated home. The enormous sunken living room has a dramatically-angled ceiling and sets of tall, steel-framed glass doors that overlook tiered terraces, the rectilinear pool, rolling lawns, and natural woodland high above Buffalo Bayou. An en suite bedroom near the living room serves as a guest suite.

Framed by glass walls, the double-height great room incorporates the dining, living and kitchen areas. Positioned directly against and above the koi ponds, the room seems to float above the water. Multiple seating/conversation spaces surround a raised, Regency Horizon fireplace and a spectacular, wall-mounted aquarium.

An open dining room transitions into a solarium-style breakfast room adjoining the open kitchen.

Sleek, lacquered, flat-front ebony-wood cabinetry by Boffi and honed granite surfaces combine with a Kuppersbusch glass cooktop and Gaggenau ovens.

A modular, granite-clad island serves the streamlined, galley-style kitchen and doubles as an elegant sideboard during meals or parties. Professional-grade appliances include a Miele appliance package with a refrigerator and freezer paneled to match the Bulthaup cabinets and a 55-bottle Liebherr wine chiller.

The kitchen opens into the family room where steel-framed glass doors access the front courtyard and fountain. A home gym adjoins the family room and overlooks the pool.

In its own wing on the second floor, the grand master suite encompasses a bedroom and sitting area, an adjoining study, and a private solarium. The master bathroom features marble floors and countertops; mirrored walls; a glass-entry, marble shower; a private water closet; and a jetted tub. A pair of enormous, custom-fitted, walk-in closets provides ample storage.

Spacious additional bedrooms on this level offer privacy, lavish marble and pristine tile bathrooms, custom-designed walk-in closets, and private water closets.

The second-floor landing extends into an open lounge that overlooks the living and dining areas.

The media room features tiered recliner seating, surround-sound, and a fiber-optic night sky on the ceiling.

Additional amenities include a three-car garage with a temperature-controlled work room; a one-car, temperature-controlled garage with storage cabinets; an outdoor kitchen/ dining/ gathering area on the terrace; mosquito control; moon lighting; tiered lawns; and stone steps down to the bayou.

5 BEDROOMS | 5.5 BATHS Price Upon Request NON-MLS

Glass walls on two sides enclose the serene, first-floor master suite which overlooks the terraces, pool and a private, walled patio and garden. Motorized black-out roller shades ensure privacy when desired. A celadon-green, opaque glass door on a wall track slides open to access the Zen-inspired, glass-walled bathroom that overlooks the same enclosed patio as the bedroom. Amenities include floating, sleek-front cabinets with vessel sinks; a seamlessglass, walk-in shower; and a soaking tub. A double walk-in closet features custom-designed, floor-to-ceiling racks, chests-of-drawers, shelving and bins.

The second floor provides a study, three bedrooms, a large family room or fourth bedroom, and four bathrooms. One bedroom is in use as a gym and has a rubberized floor. All bedrooms have walk-in closets and bathrooms with rich stone accents, floating sink cabinets, and seamless-glass showers.

ethernet/telephone/coax; TPO roofing system; MR 16 directional art lighting; commercial-grade windows and glass doors; and a tankless gas water heater.

Resort-style luxury abounds with two filtered koi ponds, one of which is bridged; a 96-foot lap pool; extensive ipe and travertine terraces; a sheltered summer kitchen and dining area; full pool bath; and an outdoor shower. Gardens incorporate serpentine flower beds and gentle berms designed by James Burnett Landscape Architecture and B&D Contractors.

Additional amenities include an electronic equipment room with controls for the smart-house systems and an attached, doubleheight, three-to-five-car garage with a lift, separate HVAC system, and industrial-grade, roll-up bay doors.

Cutting-edge electronic and energy-saving components are priorities and include a solar electric grid; camera security system; whole-house generator; a solar pool heater; CAT 5e

A note from

MARTHA & TOM Our Dear Readers, As we welcome 2015, Houstonians take stock and reflect on the amazing 12 months just past. Houston’s economy once again exceeded expectations and climbed miraculously higher up the indexes as a top place to live, work and, most interestingly, travel. The city even acquired a new moniker from the Greater Houston Partnership, “Houston: The City with No Limits.”

“No limits” certainly resonates with us at Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty. “No limits” can mean no physical boundaries or no ceiling on what can be achieved - or both. “No limits” beautifully defines our company, and we are incredibly grateful for this success and to our customers for their loyalty and continued business. Thank you.

In this first issue of the year, we offer a slate of features on home design, including that extension of the home that is receiving more and more attention, the backyard. Our spotlights shine on noted interior designers, artisans and landscapers who are leading, not following, the trends that shape the way we live now and will live in the future.

Our theme of home design is superbly celebrated by our cover homes, both unabashedly Modern with sophisticated interiors that present the best of Contemporary interior design. Our front cover home, designed and built

by MC2 Architects & Construction, presents interior and outdoor spaces united by seamless glass walls and doors, making terraces, ponds, pool and gardens prominent aspects within the overall design. The back cover residence, secluded in a gated community in Memorial, takes full advantage of an expansive, rolling, wooded ravine lot overlooking Buffalo Bayou to display stunning views throughout its open, multi-level floorplan.

We’ll be back soon with a new issue of PROPERTIES. In the meantime, enjoy this issue and if you’d like to inquire about any of our selections, please call us. We’re ready to assist you with any and all of your real estate needs.

Happy Holidays!

CHANDOS DODSON EPLEY “Interior design is like fashion,” states Chandos Dodson Epley. “It requires the skill of mixing color, texture, exquisite details and a hint of the past in order to create a fresh, clean, modern look.” Her firm, Chandos Interiors, has garnered many awards with this philosophy. Southern Living magazine selected one of the Chandos’ kitchens as “Best Kitchen 2014.” Since Chandos Interiors was established in 2000, the firm has garnered several ASID Awards. “Our design process is always deliberate and thoughtful,” says Epley, “and attuned to our client’s lifestyle and sensibilities.”

Seven of Houston’s top interior designers share their flare for creating a scene.

From cool contemporary to an interesting twist on traditional, Houstonians know that their homes reflect their personalities and individual sense of style. When they want expert assistance, these interior designers are among Houston’s best go-to group for bringing their visions into reality.

GINGER BARBER “Keep it simple” is Ginger Barber’s motto. Her love of an uncomplicated look is the cornerstone of her harmonious designs played out in neutral palettes. In 1993, Barber expanded her business and opened The Sitting Room which offers sophisticated home furnishings. In 2014, Barber was honored by the Decorative Center of House as the “Designer of the Year.”

JERRY JEANMARD Houston philanthropist and arts patron Louisa Sarofim is just one in a long line of illustrious individuals who have sought out Jerry Jeanmard. In the mid- 80’s Jeanmard joined Wells Interiors working under the late and legendary decorator, Herbert Wells. Jeanmard is still there making his magic and in addition to extensive residential design in Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, New York and California, the firm has created interiors for the Houston Country Club, River Oaks Country Club and the President’s House at Rice University.

From various rock stars to discriminating Houstonians, Renea Abbott has enjoyed a long and celebrated career assisting a wide range of clients with interior design. In addition, she owns Shabby Slips which offers custom slipcovers and fine antiques. In the beginning, Abbot had a prestigious mentorship with the old guard design firm Irvine & Fleming which, among other projects, worked in the White House during the “Camelot Days” and went on to help Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis with her NYC home. Not too shabby!

NORTH | Tranquil Path

This stunning home in exclusive Grogan’s Point in The Woodlands is one of George Weaver Custom Homes’ finest residences. Positioned on 4.2 acres on the edge of a nature reserve, this majestic home offers a rare degree of privacy behind automated entrance gates.

The owner worked closely with Linda Morgan’s Unique Interiors to create an unprecedented level of luxury. The very open floor plan integrates the formal and informal spaces. Inlaid stone or wide-plank, reclaimed hardwood floors and rich Venetian plaster walls extend through the home. Gorgeous views of the resort-style swimming pool, waterfalls and terraces form backdrops through walls of glass.

Spacious, open formal rooms with groin vault ceilings flank the foyer and grand staircase. The sumptuously-appointed kitchen is professionally-equipped to please the most discriminating chef and serve as a venue for casual entertaining via an enormous island with pull-up seating. The adjoining family room overlooks the terraces and swimming pool.

Behind the kitchen, a tiled hall leads to the drop zone with open wardrobes, main laundry room, return staircase, the elevator, two en suite bedrooms with study lofts, a play room, and a craft room.

The first-floor master bedroom suite features a herringbone-patterned, reclaimed hardwood floor, a stone fireplace, and glass doors and bay windows overlooking the swimming pool. The spa-inspired bathroom offers marble countertops and double sink cabinets, vanity, gilt-framed mirrored walls, air tub, and an enormous, double-entrance shower. Dual walk-in closets offer elegant storage and designated space for a stackable washer and dryer.

The second floor offers a game room with an inviting “gentleman’s” bar and an adjoining media room with tiered recliner seating. Secondary bedrooms have customized walk-in closets and private, marble-clad bathrooms, and a fully-equipped guest apartment is located above the garage.

DA SHING INTER NATIONA L -ST Y LE

This award-winning home, designed for the sellers by MC2 Architects & Construction, is one of Houston’s most stunning Modern residences. Superb interior and outdoor spaces unite through seamless glass walls and doors, making terraces, ponds, pool and gardens prominent aspects within the overall design.

Nearly an acre of secluded grounds and dashing International-Style architecture make this Farnham Park home a Modern star. Extensively remodeled in 2013-2014, this “smart house” has a Crestron system that allows I-pad control of all interior and exterior functions.

Minimalist luxury reigns with museum-finished walls in soft grays and whites, perfect for art display; polished Oceanic Blue stone and Silver Thorn travertine floors; rich slab granite, marble Thassos stone and Nano glass surfaces; and sleek Bulthaup cabinetry.

The home’s double-height walls of glass create a seamless transition between outside and inside, creating an illusion of unlimited space within this sophisticated home. The enormous sunken living room has a dramatically-angled ceiling and sets of tall, steel-framed glass doors that overlook tiered terraces, the rectilinear pool, rolling lawns, and natural woodland high above Buffalo Bayou. An en suite bedroom near the living room serves as a guest suite.

Framed by glass walls, the double-height great room incorporates the dining, living and kitchen areas. Positioned directly against and above the koi ponds, the room seems to float above the water. Multiple seating/conversation spaces surround a raised, Regency Horizon fireplace and a spectacular, wall-mounted aquarium.

An open dining room transitions into a solarium-style breakfast room adjoining the open kitchen.

Sleek, lacquered, flat-front ebony-wood cabinetry by Boffi and honed granite surfaces combine with a Kuppersbusch glass cooktop and Gaggenau ovens.

A modular, granite-clad island serves the streamlined, galley-style kitchen and doubles as an elegant sideboard during meals or parties. Professional-grade appliances include a Miele appliance package with a refrigerator and freezer paneled to match the Bulthaup cabinets and a 55-bottle Liebherr wine chiller.

The kitchen opens into the family room where steel-framed glass doors access the front courtyard and fountain. A home gym adjoins the family room and overlooks the pool.

In its own wing on the second floor, the grand master suite encompasses a bedroom and sitting area, an adjoining study, and a private solarium. The master bathroom features marble floors and countertops; mirrored walls; a glass-entry, marble shower; a private water closet; and a jetted tub. A pair of enormous, custom-fitted, walk-in closets provides ample storage.

Spacious additional bedrooms on this level offer privacy, lavish marble and pristine tile bathrooms, custom-designed walk-in closets, and private water closets.

The second-floor landing extends into an open lounge that overlooks the living and dining areas.

The media room features tiered recliner seating, surround-sound, and a fiber-optic night sky on the ceiling.

Additional amenities include a three-car garage with a temperature-controlled work room; a one-car, temperature-controlled garage with storage cabinets; an outdoor kitchen/ dining/ gathering area on the terrace; mosquito control; moon lighting; tiered lawns; and stone steps down to the bayou.

5 BEDROOMS | 5.5 BATHS Price Upon Request NON-MLS

Glass walls on two sides enclose the serene, first-floor master suite which overlooks the terraces, pool and a private, walled patio and garden. Motorized black-out roller shades ensure privacy when desired. A celadon-green, opaque glass door on a wall track slides open to access the Zen-inspired, glass-walled bathroom that overlooks the same enclosed patio as the bedroom. Amenities include floating, sleek-front cabinets with vessel sinks; a seamlessglass, walk-in shower; and a soaking tub. A double walk-in closet features custom-designed, floor-to-ceiling racks, chests-of-drawers, shelving and bins.

The second floor provides a study, three bedrooms, a large family room or fourth bedroom, and four bathrooms. One bedroom is in use as a gym and has a rubberized floor. All bedrooms have walk-in closets and bathrooms with rich stone accents, floating sink cabinets, and seamless-glass showers.

ethernet/telephone/coax; TPO roofing system; MR 16 directional art lighting; commercial-grade windows and glass doors; and a tankless gas water heater.

Resort-style luxury abounds with two filtered koi ponds, one of which is bridged; a 96-foot lap pool; extensive ipe and travertine terraces; a sheltered summer kitchen and dining area; full pool bath; and an outdoor shower. Gardens incorporate serpentine flower beds and gentle berms designed by James Burnett Landscape Architecture and B&D Contractors.

Additional amenities include an electronic equipment room with controls for the smart-house systems and an attached, doubleheight, three-to-five-car garage with a lift, separate HVAC system, and industrial-grade, roll-up bay doors.

Cutting-edge electronic and energy-saving components are priorities and include a solar electric grid; camera security system; whole-house generator; a solar pool heater; CAT 5e
