The prestigious Houston neighborhood of River Oaks is changing. Not only is the demographic of homebuyers skewing younger, but homes themselves are beginning to sport more modern finishes and designs.

The award-winning MC2 Architects, founded by brothers Chuong and Chung Nguyen in 1995, is behind the most exciting new development to hit River Oaks in some time. They have constructed the only modern new construction home in the neighborhood, a two-story dwelling that features an open floorplan; six bedrooms; and a striking assemblage of windows that gives the home an artistic, avant-garde look.

Flanked by two large oak trees and sitting on more than 10,000 square feet of lot space, the home exemplifies MC2 Architects' belief that exquisite design and functional construction are inseparable. The living room is lined by an entire wall of glass windows, which looks out onto the large backyard with its pool and lush landscaping.

Indoors, the home is equipped with a wine room, Italian porcelain tile, select-grade red oak flooring, and a summer kitchen. The master suite is a luxurious retreat, with its own private Ipe wood balcony and a remote-controlled gas fireplace (one of three found throughout the home). Fashion addicts will swoon over the expansive walk-in closet, which features an elegant lighting system and a dramatic shoe gallery.

In addition to being electrically ready for an elevator, the Energy Star home is made with a TPO membrane roof system, LED recessed lighting, low-energy insulated windows, and spray foam insulation.

This one-of-a-kind home is listed by Julia Wang and Nancy Almodovar of Nan and Company Properties/Christie’s International Real Estate. Wang, a technology-driven marketing professional, is one of Nan and Company Properties' top-performing producers and has extensive experience working with luxury builders. Almodovar is the company's CEO and has been named the No. 1 luxury realtor in Houston by the Houston Business Journal.

For more information on this new River Oaks development, contact Julia Wang at julia@nanproperties.com or Nancy Almodovar at nancy@nanproperties.com. You can also reach the firm by phone at 713-714-6454.
