- By Valerie Sweeten

The Mondrian at the Museums, a luxury boutique condominiu­m midrise, is set to deliver a unique living experience for residents who want a close-up experience with Houston’s Museum District.

With proximity to Hermann Park and its 445 acres of lush landscapin­g, homeowners also have ease of access to Houston Metro light rail, Texas Medical Center, and downtown Houston. This property comes with a walking score of 83, as it’s directly across from Asia Society Texas Center and in one of the most walkable neighborho­ods in Houston.

Residing in the heart of the city is why there’s easy access to a variety of the its best cultural activities. There are 19 museums, Miller Outdoor Theatre, the world-class Houston Zoo, the 18-hole Hermann Park golf course, and Rice University within walking distance.

Nearby restaurant­s range from the Monarch Bistro at the Hotel Zaza to Danton’s, MF Sushi, Barnaby’s, and Lucille’s.

The museums nearby are Children’s Museum of Houston, Contempora­ry Arts Museum Houston, Czech Center Museum Houston, DiverseWor­ks, Holocaust Museum Houston, Houston Center for Contempora­ry Craft, Houston Center for Photograph­y and the Houston Museum of African American Culture.

“The location is so exciting,” said Betty M. Harbourt, senior vice president of marketing at Sudhoff. “The neighborho­od has become so walkable. Museums are next door, as are several restaurant­s. The whole area has transforme­d, with more to come.”

Privacy is a plus, with only 20 residences in The Mondrian’s eight-story mid-rise building located at 5104 Caroline St.

Outdoors are large private terraces with amenities such as a gas fireplace, a built-in grill, and it’s also pre-wired for television over the fireplace. The two 4,400-square-foot penthouse units are designed with an interior courtyard with a Japanese-style Zen garden and a small infinity lap pool.

The indoor spaces are as relaxing and comfortabl­e as anticipate­d.

Units feature three or four bedrooms with floorto-ceiling windows and two-story art gallery walls. Floor plans average approximat­ely 3,000 square feet.

Buyers will find 10-foot standard ceiling heights in residences as well as 20foot-8-inch double-height volumes in select living areas.

The entry, living, dining, kitchen, and powder rooms all come with Select wide-plank white oak engineered hardwood flooring with acoustic underlayme­nt.

Special touches in the master suites are evident with a freestandi­ng soaking tub, designer plumbing fixtures, and frameless shower enclosures in the master bath.

The building was designed by Perkins + Will, an internatio­nally renowned architectu­re firm. Interiors are by the MaRS/ Mayfield & Ragni Studio team.

The building will also have a 24-hour concierge and covered, enclosed parking with direct secured access to the building.

Pricing starts at $1-plus million.
