Stunning design and opulent features are only some of the surprises inside the pristine abode at 26 North Heritage Hill Circle. Exquisite faux finishes by acclaimed muralist Denise Liebl can be found throughout the interior, while the pristine exterior boasts over $300,000 in landscape and outdoor living design. Developed by one of The Woodlands’ premier home builders, J.M. Wendell, and designed by renowned architects Sullivan, Stevens & Henry, this residence is the perfect place to call home.

Situated in the fabulous Heritage Hills subdivision of The Woodlands, the beautiful, 6,000-square foot abode offers the perfect blend of luxury and comfort. With regal curb appeal on a private ¾-acre lot, an astounding combination of autumnal colors, unique textures and striking details make this home Hill Country chic! Constructed with high quality building materials including Enkeboll wood carvings, custom ironwork, Fine Arts light fixtures, White Oak hardwoods and a variety of stone, slate and granite, each of the home’s details is flawlessly executed.

An Invitation to Comfort
Immaculate landscaping complements the home’s stone and stucco façade, giving it an inviting presence as large, mature trees add embellishment, shade and privacy to the front yard. After pulling around the circle drive, pass through the automatic gate and under the porte-cochere to the three-car garage with wood-clad doors. A quaint three-tier fountain adds to the picture-perfect scene, nestled comfortably amidst pristine flower beds and finely trimmed hedges. With one step through the home’s solid wood double doors, you’ll instantly know you’re home.
Designed to feel bright, airy, and cheerful, the home’s elegant, two-story foyer separates the study from the living room while bringing a unified flow to the lower level. Custom ironwork adorns the floating staircase while a Fine Arts Chandelier and faux painted barrel ceiling crown the space. A unique niche above the front door invokes a scene straight from a French café terrace, complete with a wrought-iron gate. Elegant French glass doors open to the home office -- a stately room with oversized, wooden built-ins, a floor-to-ceiling Hackett stone fireplace and a remarkable $8,000 antler chandelier hanging between two open truss beams adorning the high, vaulted ceilings.

Striking White Oak hardwood floors with beveled edge, long-length, six-inch wide planks dance across the foyer floor and lead into the expansive family room, where high, beam ceilings traverse the top of the room and two stories of massive, seamless windows fill the space with light. Hunter Douglas remote-controlled privacy shades adorn the lower windows, allowing you to determine the perfect level of brightness. Large, custom built-in’s house the entertainment center and offer great storage space. An adjacent alcove, another one of the home’s formal sitting rooms, boasts an impressive, floor-to-ceiling Hackett stone fireplace, built-in cabinetry, and gorgeous wood clad ceilings.

One of the home’s best features, its gourmet kitchen, embodies polished Golden Beeches granite countertops, an impressive center island and a breakfast bar all under an impressive box ceiling. Prepare your favorite meals with ease, utilizing the top-of-the line appliances including Dacor stainless steel convection double ovens, warming drawer and six-burner cook-top, Asko dishwasher, and paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator. Detailed Enkeboll architectural wood carvings and custom ironwork add luxurious design details to this functional, well-designed space.

On the other side of the door with lovely wrought iron décor is a large walk-in pantry boasting a prep-kitchen with granite counters and extensive storage space -- ideal for entertaining or cooking for large parties. As an added element of accommodation, an office nook is located just outside the kitchen – a custom built-in desk with tons of cabinet, drawer and counter space provides a place to keep organized and focused during your busy, hectic days.
Lovely bay windows surround the dining area, while custom faux painted ceilings and a Fine Arts Chandelier crown the space. Large, seamless windows offer views of the gorgeous rear grounds and fill the space with an abundance of natural light. Too bright for your liking? Plantation shutters are available for the windows (they are stored in the attic for now). French doors offer access to the impressive two-story terrace overlooking the backyard, one of several outdoor entertainment options.

Master Relaxation
The spacious master suite encompasses a cozy sitting area with views of the flourishing yard and outdoor landscaping along with French doors leading to a private patio. Fabrica La Rachelle carpet adds a comfortable, designer touch and embellishes the faux-finished walls. A similarly faux-finished, trayed ceiling is equipped with rope lighting and provides a peaceful, serene ambiance.

The luxurious s bath features faux-finished walls, antiqued claw-footed vanities, $4,000 custom mirrors by Lampros Gallery, Gialo Antico marble counters and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures. Matching the countertops, Gialo Antico marble steps lead to the jetted tub which is majestically flanked by solid stone columns. An oversized, separate shower features rimless door, toe tap and hand-held body sprays. Enjoy plenty of personal space with separate walk-in closets – each boasts Cedar ceilings, built-in’s and triple bars, while “Her” closet also features a large center-island packing table and full-length mirror, along with a separate dressing area complete with seated, lighted vanity. The adjacent home gym boasts granite-topped coffee bar and small fridge.

Pampered Guests
After enjoying a home cooked meal, your visitors can relax in any of the warm and comfortable guest suites. One of these can be found downstairs with the master and features solid stone columns flanking bay windows with Plantation shutters. The other two bedrooms are located upstairs with the game and media rooms, while each features a full bath, ceiling fan and walk-in closet.

One of these second-floor suites is affectionately known as the “Fish Camp” room; your guests will delight in their rural retreat! A ladder leads to a third-floor loft with additional bed space and access to the third-floor storage area, the back staircase just beyond. Barn-wood clad walls contribute to the outdoor theme along with the “authentic” screen door which leads to the similarly themed full bath. Unique in its own right, California gold slate tile floors with pebble inserts grace the floors, and a delightful pebble floored shower keeps with the motif. More than simply decorative, every amenity is available; the vanity boasts dual copper sinks under-mounted in a slate slab countertop and slate surround with clay fish tiles and pebble backsplash inserts to match the floors.

Entertainment Options Abound
For movie-watching on a rainy day, or to just unwind after a day at the office, venture upstairs to the in-home theater. Faux painted columns built into the walls, stark carpets and a wallpapered appliqué of hand-painted ceiling tiles provide an authentic old-style theatre experience. In stark contrast, the retractable screen, mounted projector and remote-controlled room-darkening shades are anything but “old-style”. While surround sound speakers built into the walls put the viewer in the center of the action, a soundboard lining the room acts as a “sound-proof” barrier to keep the adjoining rooms free of noise. A granite serving bar including a mini-fridge is perfect for preparing a mid-movie snack, while French doors lead to the balcony overlooking the backyard – perfect for that mid-movie breath of fresh air.

After the movies, head over to the spacious game room for more entertainment. Walls faux painted to resemble aged wood add character to this space, which is large enough to accommodate billiards and shuffleboard tables. For further hosting assistance, a serving bar with Silestone counters and small refrigerator are located below the TV niche. A door accessing the walk-in storage space located above the garage adds another element of convenience to the home.

Outdoor Luxury
The verdant, opulent backyard features a pool with cascading waterfalls, lush landscaping, summer kitchen, stone pathways and various sundecks and covered patios. Sealed Hackett flagstone surrounds the pool offering numerous decking and patio options including an impressive two-story terrace. Three covered patios are each accessible from a different part of the home, while the second floor balcony opens from the media room. Custom designed by Texas Pools, this oasis boasts a pool, spa and water features that will transport you to an exotic destination each time you step foot outside.

Next to the pool is a fabulous outdoor loggia, which shows off the striking summer kitchen, wood-clad ceiling, Hackett stone fireplace, and plasma TV with surround-sound. An outdoor bar with granite countertops doubles as an al fresco delight and sits in front of a large, stainless steel grill, perfect for a summertime backyard barbecue while ceiling fans provide a cool, refreshing breeze.

A Family Neighborhood
Flawlessly constructed by J.M. Wendell, the home sits on a huge cul-de-sac lot in the Heritage Hill subdivision in The Woodlands. Gentle, rolling hills complement the lush, mature trees and landscaping throughout, and bike paths offer a simple way to transport children to and from John Cooper – the area’s prestigious, private, college-prep school. Friendly Heritage Hill neighbors gather together for summer barbecues and exciting Bunco games, marking the neighborhood with a family-friendly atmosphere that welcomes newcomers. Additionally, the neighborhood offers convenient access to I-45, restaurants, entertainment, and The Woodlands Mall.
