🏠️ This house is wild
Listed by: Ray Larson (eXp Realty LLC)
A curved turret gives this English-inspired stunner extra storybook flair, while retractable sliding doors and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace keep things feeling fresh. Five bedrooms, all with walk-in closets and private en-suites, mean everyone gets their own slice of luxury. The kitchen is a showstopper with a massive island, glass-front cabinets, and Thermador appliances, plus a butler’s pantry for bonus points.
Out back, the covered porch, outdoor kitchen, and fire-and-water features make entertaining feel like a resort gig. Game room, media room, and a second-floor lanai bring the fun upstairs. Tucked against wooded greenspace, but just minutes from I-45, Market Street, and the Waterway.
