"I am thrilled to announce that this home is officially sold," said Nancy Almodovar, CEO of Nan and Company Properties. "This home is a one-of-a-kind property, and like its storied past, it is earning international attention once again with its record sales price. To personally represent such a prominent property and to be able to have it under contract in less than a month of hitting the market is a milestone for our company – and establishes a new standard for the luxury home market in Houston."
Situated on a 43,973 square foot lot in the prestigious River Oaks Country Club Estate subdivision, this home has had countless stories written and told for years describing the opulent parties and its previous owner's past. The recent sellers invested in a $7M, year-long renovation led by JD Bartell Designs that was completed in December 2004 and features meticulous design and craftsmanship at every turn – keeping with the luxurious history of the home. Among the many exquisite details throughout the property, the magnificent, 12,000 square foot indoor pool area truly makes this home one-of-a-kind and the center of the storied history of the home. Enclosed with a glass panel ceiling, the space features ornate chandeliers and multiple entertaining areas connecting the home's expansive living and dining areas.
This announcement comes on the heels of several other high-profile luxury homes sold by Almodovar, including The Woodlands, Texas mansion featuring the world-renowned three-story, 3,000 square foot closet. Another significant listing is the 9,500 square foot, full floor penthouse at The Astoria listed at $6.7M and currently under contract.
