The word “mansion” is a perfect fit for this estate named “The Woodlands.” It’s big and stuffed full of “luxury stuff.” The property is on the Texas market and a steal at $7 million.
The Woodlands in Carlton Woods
Described as a “real estate beauty,” The Woodlands sits tastefully tucked “into a private gated community called Carlton Woods.” The six bedroom home has been “completely remodeled and updated 2021.”
The estate conveniently matches six full bathrooms with the bedrooms and adds three more half-bathrooms for guest use.
The Woodlands sprawls across a total of 12,032 square feet and sits on a private 40,421-square-foot lot. Every one of those square feet is engineered for entertaining.
The home features two entire primary suites. For recreation, along with the pool and exercise room, there’s a full basketball court.
Other amenities include a five-car garage and a separate apartment with it’s own kitchen. If the lights go out the home has a Kohler whole house generator which even runs the pool.
Audiophiles will appreciate the Sonos sound system. Leviton lighting was used throughout and everyone in the household will love the commercial-grade WIFI.
Earthy, yet clean
The estate listing notes that “this house also has some of the nice offerings that come with a house of this size and caliber of remodel: the kitchen grounded in earthy, yet clean styling, rooms built around a set of windows, wallpaper fitting with the scale of its spaces, a welcoming, simple entry all set off with tasteful gold finishes.”
The designers obviously “picked many things for their timelessness over trendiness.”
While most of the home is conservative with the color scheme, “there are some rooms that have, shall we say, a little more boldness than others.”
Those would be the “bar, game room and theater areas” They bring a fun and retro feel that makes the mansion perfect for a party.
Speaking of parties, everyone’s favorite spaces are the pool and patio. “The patio looks like it’s another room in the house that just happens to not have windows.”
The custom pool is “grand” and “built for parties.” It even has a water slide. One that’s pretty carefully camouflaged into the landscape.
