This home makes it easy to forget you’re only a few minutes from downtown Houston<\/a><\/strong>. Go through the bright red door, across the well-kept yard, and advance past the enormous glass entry.<\/span><\/p>\n

In reality, architect Benjamin Notzon believed that when guests and occupants of this property saw the horizontal stone constructions that he apparently built at 90-degree angles on one another to create this contemporary masterpiece, they would be taken to the suburbs of Paris.<\/span><\/p>\n

The colorful property is influenced by Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye, a French historic site, and is currently on the market for $2.5 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to listing agent Linda Reneberg, the architect wanted to frame views of the countryside and offer a retreat from inner-city living with five acres of preserved Harris County farmland next door.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Furthermore, this home is for someone who enjoys both a stylish and sophisticated lifestyle, as well as nature. This place would be ideal for a trailblazer with a revolutionary spirit who dances to the beat of a different rhythm.<\/span><\/p>\n

With over 5,500 square feet and a gated-in lot, the property is an urban retreat that feels both secluded and interconnected to its surroundings.<\/span><\/p>\n

The primary bedroom is decorated in the home’s trademark red and has a view of the trees from the third story. Remarkably, the third level is reachable by the home’s consumer-grade elevator.<\/span><\/p>\n

The heart of the house is on the second story. A huge chef’s kitchen with four professional-grade gas ovens, an enormous fridge, ten burners, and a gorgeous island runs through the center.<\/span><\/p>\n

An indoor eating space leads into the large patio area on one end and a contemporary living room with huge windows and additional lush views on the other. The flooring is made of genuine volcanic stone called basalt.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
