Gorgeous one-story Penthouse in the desirable Empire condominium. The owners purchased a two bedroom/two bath unit plus two storage units and revised the original floorplan creating a fantastic open pied a terre overlooking the Lakes of Post Oak. Brazilian hardwoods (recently refinished), high ceilings, adorned with Carrara marble and custom alabaster light fixtures. Virtually staged.
The owners plan was to create another bedroom by placing a "Murphy Bed" in the bookcase and revealing it upon nightfall. The first door on the right is a full bath serving as a Powder Room for entertaining and a full bath for guests when needed. This photograph is virtually staged to reflect one of many possible floorplans.
It is possible to create a "second" bedroom by adding a sliding wall to create privacy when needed.
The Foyer has been extravagantly dressed from floor to ceiling in Carrara marble.
The distinctive Second Bath located adjacent to the Living Room is clad in Carrara marble from floor to ceiling, Absolute black granite counters and custom Cherrywood cabinets.
The Dining Area adjacent to the Kitchen boasts a wonderful view of the Lakes of Post Oak. All columns in the unit were either thoughtfully concealed behind cabinetry or beautifully wrapped in sheets of Carrara marble. Lustrous Brazilian hardwoods throughout! This photograph is virtually staged.
The open floorplan is huge and can avail itself of many different seating scenarios. Light, bright and open during the day and beautiful night views of the Galleria and Lakes of Post Oak from the balcony to the left of the marble column.
The gourmet Kitchen was thoughtfully designed with floor to ceiling custom Cherrywood cabinets, wine storage, wine cooler, stainless appliance package, gas cooktop and abundant dish and crystal storage. Absolute black granite countertops, backsplash and serving bar add a bit of drama to the high style.
Carrara marble floors and Kitchen trim. Mirrors have been purposefully located to enhance the views while creating special meals in the Kitchen.
The closet adjacent to the Second Bath can be equipped with a variety of shelves and hanging space for visiting guests or additional storage.
Another storage closet with multiple uses.
The Primary Bedroom boasts another custom Alabaster fixture and the owners chose to add a second window to balance the room and allow abundant natural light. Virtually staged.
