Memorial estate on 2 acres in gated community

- By Lisa Zapalac HOMES CORRESPOND­ENT

Set amid an 87,120-square-foot (2acre) lot in Memorial’s gated Winston Woods, this three-story French chateau-style home has more than 11,000 square feet of living space.

Listing agent Sharon Ballas with the Greenwood King Properties Voss Office said the home — by Peter Brown, AIA, and Barnett Custom Homes — is designed to take full advantage of its remarkable setting.

Inside, the home features living/entertaini­ng areas, including the oval dining room with views of the grounds; the formal living room that opens to the loggia overlookin­g the property; a library with an antique French bibliothèq­ue and Belgian mantel; and a first-floor game room with 18th century paneling from France, a large bar and an adjoining powder room.

The home has a large wine cellar with a vaulted brick-barrel and glassblock ceiling, seating areas, a stone accent wall, a fireplace, and wine bins.

The kitchen has reclaimed-wood custom cabinets, a large island with a breakfast bar, a movable entertainm­ent center, two Sub-Zeros, a walk-in pantry and storage, and work spaces and a breakfast room.

Just off the kitchen are a home office and full bath.

The family room, which has access to the screened porch, also has an entertainm­ent center that is not built in and can be moved, and the screened porch is air conditione­d and has brick accents and a fireplace.

The master suite includes a TV room/study with a wet bar and a small staircase that leads to a working study on the third floor, an upstairs bedroom with access to a balcony and luxury bath with treetop views.

Spacious secondary bedrooms have balcony access.

One of the bedrooms includes a guest alcove, and the fifth bedroom or craft room has built-ins and a full bath.

There is also an upstairs den that is currently being used as an exercise room.

Accessible via a private entrance or the second floor, the guest apartment has a kitchenett­e, a stone accent wall, a bedroom and full bath.

Outside, the landscaped grounds include a patio off the breakfast room, a pool, a three-car garage and two additional covered parking spaces, plus extra parking and trees.

With six bedrooms, seven full baths and three half-baths, this home is priced at $5,999,000.
