25 West Lane in River Oaks
832 Kuhlman Road It took nearly 300 days to sell, but the wait was worth it, as this Memorial-area mansion comes in at number-one. Listed for just shy of $11 million, the six-bed, 10-bath property — spread across three buildings, including a nearly 12,000-square-foot main home — sits on two acres near Duchesne Academy. Contemporary design elements are coupled with traditional finishes to create a one-of-a-kind, grand-scale estate; the vaulted ceilings in the kitchen and owner's suite are especially stunning. It closed in May.

The 10,000-square-foot, Paris-inspired manse has four fireplaces, dual master closets, a wine room, a game room with full bar, and everything else that seemingly comes standard in multimillion-dollar new builds these days.
25 West Lane River Oaks’ classic red-brick Georgian look is on full display at this property, which took a little over a month to sell, closing in October.

Beverage drawers installed next to the fridge in the kitchen, where each corner cabinet has a lazy susan installed, as well.
721 Ourlane Circle With eight bedrooms and garage space for 12 cars, it's safe to say there's plenty of room at this 12,000-square-foot estate in Memorial, which took less than two weeks to sell.

Also find a gym, game room and thousand-bottle wine cellar. The new owners never need to leave!

30 Willowend Drive A Robert Dame-built, Benjamin Johnston-designed home in the Memorial Villages sold the same day it hit the market in September. Boasting a prime location across from the Houston Racquet Club and backing up to the bayou, the new-construction employs a unique combo of design elements, fusing Mediterranean materials and contemporary flourishes. It listed for $7.6 mil.
99 W. Grand Regency Meanwhile, beautiful suburban homes have never been more popular among buyers, many of whom don’t feel as wedded to the inner-city as they did before Covid.
