This classic haven, designed by Rice Residential Design, was built for a growing young family who wanted a custom luxury home in their favorite Houston neighborhood full of elegant repurposed materials.

 

This home seamlessly melds the old with the new. Come take a look around.

As a welcome to guests, there is a custom bar right by the entryway with hidden ship lap drawers behind the bar beneath the staircase.

 

Many of the light fixtures throughout this home are repurposed French antiques. Many of the interior doors are also reclaimed.

The home owners also opted for a few other unique choices: a breakfast area and a butler's pantry connected to the main dining area.

Two of the standout features of this living room are the reclaimed wood beams and the stunning, rustic brick.

Look closely at that gorgeous custom stone mantle on the fireplace!

And this home is not just aesthetically pleasing — it's also highly energy efficient. This home uses foam insulation throughout the entire envelope and energy efficient features including windows with low-E glazing, a two-stage HVAC system, and a tankless water heater.
