A note from

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader”

MARTHA & TOM

– John Quincy Adams

Our Dear Readers, If you’ve glanced at our photos, you’ve noticed that a new face has joined our leadership. As we transition from our day-to-day duties to become Chairmen Emeritus, we welcome Marilyn G. Thompson, former Vice President of Sales, as the new President of Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty. Marilyn has been a sales manager here since 1991 and there is no one more uniquely qualified to inspire and lead the company to even greater heights. She is a legend in Houston’s real estate community and has earned universal respect for her extensive business and real estate acumen as well as her ability to guide our agents’ success.

For this holiday issue of PROPERTIES for 2015, our front-cover home presents an inviting balance of Traditional and Modern design within the security and exceptionally luxurious environment of Carlton Woods. Secluded within more than three acres of manicured grounds bordering the 16th green of the championship Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, this extraordinarily sophisticated residence boasts a grand reception hall, impressive library, and resort-style outdoor living.

We bring good tidings about two much-loved Houston institutions: The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is gearing up for its 82nd event, and the Theta Antiques Show, 63-years young, is settling in to its new home in the Bayou City Event Center.

These two annual events are signature venues for our city and share the distinction of being volunteer-based, an amazing accomplishment given their size and complexity. A pair of feature articles delves into each organization’s history and explores a few of the larger-than-life Houston characters who founded them.

Speaking of Houston institutions, let’s not forget Azalea Trail – and our back cover presents a former River Oaks star of that indescribably spectacular annual springtime home tour. Designed by Sharon Staley, FASID, the floor plan encourages easy entertaining and daily living with a professionally-equipped gathering kitchen and open integrated rooms.

Please enjoy this ultimate issue for 2015 as you welcome family and friends this holiday season. PROPERTIES will be back in 2016 with more exceptional homes and articles of interest to kick-off what promises to be an exciting new year. In the meantime, Happy Holidays!

he reclusive and eccentric Dallas oil titan H. L. Hunt, already a billionaire by the late 1930s, built the Georgian Revival-style

home at 1721 River Oaks Boulevard for Frania Tye in 1939. In the 76 years since, the elegant home has boasted a series of high-profile owners including a Houston construction magnate, from whom the home was purchased by the present owners in 1997.

The brick residence was substantially enhanced and updated in a lengthy and meticulous renovation undertaken by the present owners from 1997 to 2000. Renowned architect Martha Bute, working with interior designer Bonnie Harding, restored and enhanced the home’s innate elegance with stunning reproduction period paneling; exquisite Scalamandre, Schumacher, Thibaut, Osbourne & Little, Clarence House, and Brunschwig & Fils wallpapers and fabrics; Schenck & Company parquetry floors; and lavish, Sheryl Wagner marble fixtures. Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems were replaced, an elevator added, and smarthome technology installed to bring the home to today’s standards of communication, automation, convenience, and security.

Brick pillars and automated iron gates secure the home’s driveway at the boulevard entrance. The open, light-filled rotunda reception hall has an inlaid marble floor and magnificent serpentine staircase.

Interiors are designed for entertaining large gatherings and encompass an impressive paneled library; an expansive garden room clad in eggshellblue French-style paneling that transitions into a glass-walled solarium; a grand formal dining room and inviting informal dining room; a lavish, marbleclad, mirrored, fully-equipped bar and lounge with a reconstructed Russian parquetry floor; and, reminiscent of a more refined age, “ladies” and “gentlemen” powder rooms. Views of the stone terraces, pool, extensive gardens, and side patios enhance the rooms through banks of windows and tall French doors.

ENTHUSIASTICALLY URBAN, BOHEMIAN, AND ICONOCLASTIC, 3615 MONTROSE IS NOT JUST WHERE YOU LIVE, IT’S WHY YOU

LIVE HERE 3615 Montrose is luxury urban living at its finest. Located in the heart of Montrose and within Houston’s heralded Museum District, 3615 Montrose is as distinctive as the neighborhood surrounding it. Just as the genial developer of Montrose, James Link stated, the neighborhood would spearhead the procession of Houston’s growth, with 3615 Montrose is leading the charge in design, development, form, and function. Surrounded by the Menil Collection, the Contemporary Art Museum Houston, and distinctive architectural works such as the Chapel of St. Basil — designed by Philip Johnson — 3615 Montrose signals a return of the renowned firm of Philip Johnson/Alan Ritchie Architects to Houston. The distinctive look of the building is celebration of great architecture in one of Houston’s most vibrant neighborhoods. 3615 Montrose reflects a singular vision: to reconnect Montrose to its classic modernist roots while offering buyers a new standard in luxury urban living.

Located within walking distance of the University of St. Thomas — whose master plan was one of Philip Johnson’s earlist Houston commissions — 3615 Montrose is a luxury residence building unlike any other. Its undulating curves, formed by floor-to-ceiling glass, bring an abundance of light into the space, thus, capturing the site’s spectacular views. The sophisticated simplicity of the interior spaces is inspired by Philip Johnson’s famed Glass House, one of the most significant structures of 20th century architecture. The building has an expressive sculptural form that reflects the rich cultural heritage of this neighborhood.

Every detail of 3615 Montrose — from its extraordinary architecture to the quality of the custom interior finishes — is designed to embrace the iconic spirit of its surroundings.
