Architecture that has stood the test of time, and the recognition to prove it.
Designed by Ray Bailey Architects and honored with a 1985 Houston AIA Award, this modified New England Salt Box in the Tall Timbers section of River Oaks is a rare hybrid: New England reserve joined with contemporary detail, on a wooded lot of more than an acre. Four decades on, the design continues to captivate.
The craftsmanship is in the materials. A steel-reinforced concrete pier and beam foundation. A slate tile roof. Moisture-resistant cypress siding. Reclaimed wide plank hardwood floors approximately 100 years old, and hand-molded brick floors in the kitchen, baths, greenhouse, screened porch, and gallery. Climate-controlled w**e cellar and a 4-car attached garage.
A home that reflects forethought and attention to detail.
