Houston, Texas is known for some amazing homes, the Waldo Mansion, the now razed West Mansion, and Mcfaddin-Ward House, but they do not compare to the grandeur of this Versailles inspired masterpiece. Built in 2012, 100 Carnarvon Drive is a classic French Colonial situated on 2.5 wooded acres in Uptown Houston. At over 27,000 square feet, the chateau is designed for elegant entertaining and the display of museum-quality art. Amenities include lavish gilt and delicately-wrought, hand painted detail; meticulously reproduced period moldings; white marble tile and inlaid, hand-scraped hardwood floors; antique boiserie, chandeliers, and marble fireplaces.
Expertly proportioned principle rooms include a gallery/reception hall, Versailles Room, dining room, music room, east gallery hall, family room, sunroom, breakfast/informal dining room, and a four-car garage. The kitchen is elegant offering an island, an extensive butler’s pantry, and an additional catering kitchen. The setting and architecture evoke the grandeur of Versailles and the art-filled mansions of Paris’ 16th arrondissement.
Listed at $30,000,000 exclusively at Sotheby’s.
