Discover a truly exceptional home in the heart of Southampton, custom-built by renowned architects Bruce Barnett and Lucian Hood. This stately Georgian brick residence, still cherished by its original owner, sits directly across from Rice University, offering timeless elegance and an unbeatable location. From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by a stunning two-story entryway and a gracefully curved staircase. The expansive living and dining rooms provide a refined setting for hosting elegant gatherings, while beautiful French doors and windows open to a New Orleans-style courtyard with a sparkling pool—perfect for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining. The cozy family room features a fireplace, a generous bar, and additional French doors leading to the patio, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Designed for both function and style, the kitchen offers wonderful space for your cooking needs. Adjacent to it, the charming breakfast room—with its bay window overlooking stately oak trees—provides a serene space to enjoy morning coffee or casual meals. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms and three bathrooms ensure comfort for family and guests. A distinguished library/study, complete with elegant herringbone floors and custom-built shelving, reflects the owner’s meticulous craftsmanship and love for detail. The top floor offers a spacious, dormered bonus room—ideal for a home gym, playroom, or media lounge, adding flexibility to fit your lifestyle. The property includes a three-car garage, a carport, and a long-gated driveway for ample parking. Behind the garage, a nearly 700-square-foot workshop—complete with skylights and a transom window—offers incredible potential as a pool house, in-law suite, or creative studio. Alternatively, the structure could be removed to expand the backyard into a lush green space.
