In our newest ‘Home of the Week‘ we move from a Mediterranean home in Beverly Hills to a striking ultra-modern new construction in Houston, Texas.

This $2,386,000 home is one of the more unique properties you’ll ever see, and it is apparent from the moment you look at its memorable exterior. The aesthetic of the interior is in a word, amazing – for the way it effortlessly blends seemingly opposite design principles. The exposed beams and vents remind you of upscale lofts you’d find in the trendiest neighborhoods of New York City; but the one-level home offers up way more open living space.

Located enviably in one of Houston’s most sought after enclaves, the home’s Southern roots are ever present in the cozy feeling you get from reclaimed timber and the salvaged stone you see throughout. Adding to the warmth you feel inside is the professional interior decorating, which boasts over $250,000 worth of furniture and art that are included in the sale of this trophy property.

If you’re lucky enough to call this house home, I’m willing to bet you’d spend a lot of time entertaining. Who wouldn’t be tempted to invite family, friends and even strangers over to enjoy the open air lounge, salt-water pool and gas fire-table perfect for drinks, dinner and hearty conversations?
