What’s Up? This Designer Penthouse for $8 Mil!

CURIOUS ABOUT THE true view from the top? A picture-perfect, designer-appointed penthouse in Uptown has hit the market for $8 million.


The six-bedroom, six-bathroom, full-floor unit of The Astoria comes in at 9,500 square feet — every last one of which has been exquisitely decorated by Laura U Design Collective. High-end finishes a la Eggersman cabinetry, Miele applicances and Calacutta floors abound in this penthouse, which is made for entertaining.

There's a 600-bottle wine room, movie-theater room, game room — and even a room dedicated to a 3-D golf simulator, complete with Astroturf. The primary bedroom boasts a two-sided modern fireplace, coffee bar and balcony. The en-suite includes a soaking tub and mirrored television, along with a ginormous closet.

Another spa-worthy place inside this penthouse is the cedar sauna — with a Himalayan salt wall! — and steam room with built-in aromatherapy and speakers.

Outside, a private pool and turfed deck offers nearly 360-degree skyline views.

The condo is listed by Nancy Almodovar with Nan and Company Properties Christie's International Real Estate.

Ron Nagle's 'The Puddle of Love,' part of 'Love Languages'

AS IF YOU needed another reason to visit the still-new galleries in the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston’s awesome Nancy and Rich Kinder Building: On Saturday, Sept. 2, visitors will be treated to three brand new shows: Contested Landscapes, Hidden Histories, and Love Languages, with paintings, sculptures and wildly imaginative mixed-media creations pulled entirely from the MFAH’s extensive modern and contemporary collections, including works by Houston- and Texas-born artists. Each exhibit is organized by a different MFAH curator, and each addresses, to varying degrees of clarity and opacity, a range of environmental, social and political themes.
