PRIME PROPERTY
A detailed look at one of the area’s most distinctive homes.
The home at 3723 Knollwood on one of the most coveted streets in River Oaks is a low-slung brick home perfectly sited on more than three-quarters of a wooded acre.
Prompting descriptions like “striking” and “art collector’s fantasy,” the 7,167-square-foot 1950s contemporary home by architect Wylie Vale is notable for its polished white limestone floors, luxurious finishes and fittings, and expanses of glossy white walls.
The main house offers more an expansive amount of living space, allowing art lovers to appreciate the floor-to-ceiling windows that allow in natural light as well as unbroken walls that offer space for large art installations.
From the street, the home’s modern silhouette features a large chimney, as well as several rectangular masses that overlap or intersect horizontal roof slabs.
Reminiscent of Palm Springs circa the “Rat Pack” era, it’s also noteworthy that the property and improvements/structures did not flood during Hurricane Harvey.
Home features include a breakfast room, family room, formal dining room, formal living room, guest suite with kitchen, firstfloor living area, secondfloor living area, media room, study/library, and an in-house utility room.
