- By Lisa Zapalac HOMES CORRESPOND­ENT

Mediterran­ean style is enhanced by custom finishes and unique details in this O’Connor & Gill custom home in Memorial’s Hunters Creek Village. Listing agent Mike Mahlstedt of Heritage Texas Properties Post Oak Park says the home has amazing entertaini­ng opportunit­ies inside and out.

Located at 10822 Roaring Brook, the two-story home equipped with an elevator has more than 6,400 square feet of living space and features indoor and outdoor spaces that are enhanced by beautiful views.

Inside, the open entry is highlighte­d by art niches, travertine stone flooring and a brick herringbon­e barrel ceiling.

Just past the entry is the dining room that features arched openings and a seamless flow into the formal living room that is surrounded by a wall of glass and stunning views of the back yard and manicured grounds. The living room also includes a gas log fireplace with stone surround, art niches and access to a half-bath.

The huge kitchen and breakfast area are open to the den/family room and create an inviting entertaini­ng area. A new granite island with a raised breakfast bar is featured in the kitchen, along with a Bosch five-burner cooktop with a swing-out pot-filler faucet, double ovens and a Thermador built-in refrigerat­or/ freezer.

A wall of windows and access to the elevator, coat closet, laundry room with a sink and counter space and a side entrance are among the many highlights of the breakfast area. The den has built-in cabinets with intricatel­y carved, detailed fronts, art lights and space for a television, and views of the back yard. Just off the den is a custom wet bar with a carved wood countertop and separate wet bar, surrounded by a natural stone basket-weave patterned floor that continues into the wine room. The wet bar is connected to the outdoors with 180-degree views of pool area and doors that lead to the summer kitchen.

Across from wet bar is a climate-controlled wine room with that has a barrel vaulted ceiling with faux finishes, stone walls and wrought-iron doors.

Created as a private retreat, the master suite includes an electric linear fireplace flanked by art niches, tray ceilings, a sitting area, accent lighting and access to the back yard.

Combining function and aesthetic appeal, the master bath has dual sinks, a whirlpool tub accented by windows that bring in natural light while offering privacy, a separate shower with two shower heads, tray ceilings with intricate trim work, marble-inlaid floors and a huge walk-in closet with makeup vanity.

Upstairs are four secondary bedrooms and additional living/entertaini­ng areas. The game room is centrally located between the secondary bedrooms and has a concealed wet bar that has a built-in storage cabinet on one side and a GE Monogram refrigerat­or on the other. With tray ceilings and arched openings to the media room, the game room is very large and easily accommodat­es a pool/billiards table with an abundance of space remaining.

The generously sized secondary bedrooms all have en-suite baths and walk-in closets including one bedroom that has a room-size walk-in closet with built-ins and a packing island, or more appropriat­ely described as the dream closet.

Additional­ly, two secondary bedrooms each have access to their own private front balcony.

An oasis for entertaini­ng and relaxing defines the backyard that features beautiful landscapin­g, a heated custom pool with a rock waterfall and hot tub, extensive flagstone decking, and an oversized summer kitchen with a fireplace, GE grill, abundant counter space, an area for a flatscreen television and access to a pool bath. There is also a mosquito control system and sprinkler system throughout the property, and security cameras that line the perimeter.

With five bedrooms, five full baths and three halfbaths, this home is priced at $2,795,000.
