Memorial estate on 2 acres in gated community
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.
