Behind mature oaks, this freestanding custom residence by SJS Builders pairs close-in convenience with a quiet retreat in the heart of Upper Kirby. A courtyard koi pond creates a memorable arrival, leading into light-filled interiors where north- and east-facing windows bring a soft, balanced glow throughout the day. More than 5,100 SF unfold across two principal living levels, plus a private rooftop terrace above. Designed intentionally for both everyday ease and entertaining, the first-floor living centers on an oversized island kitchen with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, opening to covered outdoor living with a grilling station, gas fire pit, and turfed side yard. Five bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, offices, fitness, or creative spaces. An elevator, full-house generator, Control4 home automation, motorized shades, custom closets, mature landscaping, and an epoxy-finished garage complete a home that feels private, polished, and exceptionally well-equipped.
