Contempora­ry ‘butterfly roof house’ near Memorial Park

- By Lisa Zapalac HOMES CORRESPOND­ENT

Located within walking distance of Memorial Park in a scenic, natural setting, the three-story home on a 16,555-squarefoot lot is designed to take advantage of its incredible surroundin­gs, from open first-floor living areas to the third-floor screened treetop terrace.

Listing agent Andrew McCain of John Daugherty, Realtors says the contempora­ry style home with 3,000 square feet of living space, has won multiple awards for its design and is known as the “butterfly roof house” because of its V-shaped, inverted gable roof that resembles the wing span of a butterfly.

Designed and built by Taft Architects and its renowned interior designer/owner, the home includes custom commercial windows and doors, three HVAC systems, wide-plank white oak floors and 26-foot high ceilings in the main living areas, incredible expanses of windows and beautiful views.

The open-concept living and dining room are surroundin­g by stunning views inside and out.

The well-appointed kitchen has abundant storage and prep space as well as stainless-steel appliances and a breakfast room with a buffet bar that is open to a study area. The kitchen also has a memorable design with no upper cabinetry so that views are maximized and unobstruct­ed.

The third-floor master bedroom features a sitting area and a luxury bath with separate wet areas, a walk-in shower and a spa soaking tub.

Additional highlights include a wine room and two secondary bedrooms, one of which is currently being used as an office/ study. Outside, there are landscaped greenbelts and walkways and a tree-lined driveway and parking court.

With three bedrooms and 2½ baths, this home at 5715 Logan Lane, near Uptown, the Galleria, downtown and the Medical Center, is priced at $2,150,000.
