Classic River Oaks estate is located in Tall Timbers

Designed by renowned architect Lucian Hood, this estate is on a .78-acre (33,807-squarefoot) lot in River Oaks’ Tall Timbers.

Listing agent Cindy Burns of Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty describes the property as a River Oaks estate with rolling topography.

With more than 8,900 square feet, the fourstory home is surrounded by extensive manicured grounds.

Massive double doors open into a foyer with a sweeping staircase, marble floor and stunning chandelier.

Large, elegant formals include a dining room with detailed millwork and Fortuny silk walls, and a living room with a cast-stone fireplace (one of five in the home), hardwood floors, and a wall of French doors that opens onto the pool and grounds in back.

The home also has a large study with pocket doors, built-ins and a fireplace flanked by custom gun cabinets.

A large wet bar is located between the study and formal living room, making this area idea for entertaining on any scale.

Spacious enough to accommodate several seating areas, the family room features a block-paneled ceiling, a fireplace, a bank of French doors that reveals views of the pool and grounds, and a planning center.

An area that was once a side porch, the planning center was made a part of the family room during the home’s last renovation.

This space includes a seating area and expansive built-ins that include a desk and abundant counter and cabinet space.

Open to the planning center and family room, the well-appointed kitchen has two islands, a side-by-side refrigerator and freezer, multiple ovens, two dishwashers, and storage.

The large wine cellar offers massive wine storage space and a seating area.

Located on the second floor, the master suite features a balcony, a sitting area, a fireplace and carpeting.

The luxury master bath offers a steam shower, numerous closets, a large jetted tub and private dual water closets.

Additional highlights include spacious secondary bedrooms, a fourth-floor game room and an elevator.

Outside, a large covered patio overlooks the extensive grounds and a saltwater pool, spa and fountains.

With a total of four bedrooms, four full baths and two half-baths, this home at 3717 Willowick Road is priced at $6,900,000.
