Montebello #23 is the best of it all: modest entry into one of Houston's finest residential buildings; an opportunity to move-in without touching a thing, or completely renovating to one's taste; a single-story flat with beautiful tree-top & city views; & convenience both in building location & city proximity.

An expansive & elegant entry into the home begins the tour. Notice the ample wall space for art & furniture placement.

A secondary view of the foyer looking back from the living room... What a gorgeous way in which to welcome your guests for an evening of entertaining.

Entry-way designer wall coverings lead one to both ensuite bedrooms, providing complete privacy from house guests.

The living room opens up the right of the entry featuring marble floors, floor-to-ceiling windows with adjustable plantation shutters, custom bookcases, and peeking views into the homeowner's study/den.

The opposite side of the living room provides glances into the formal dining area, surely where the next homeowner will showcase their finest hospitality.

Whether used as a study, game room, or private den, the balcony access (not shown) will most certainly be appreciated. Direct access to the secondary bedroom from here is also available.

Returning to the opposite end of the home's entry, this luscious powder bath is spacious, and steps away from the kitchen.

The kitchen is spacious, featuring granite countertops, generous storage, updated appliances, & a well-lit island perfect for catching up with friends & family.

A secondary view of the kitchen features the service door egress (private hallway and elevator, middle door in picture); the laundry room with full size clothes washer & dryer (closed door to right); & walk-in pantry to the left (door hidden in picture). Another counter top featuring the electric cooktop is not shown and is out of sight in this photograph.

Originally constructed as a larger secondary bedroom, a portion of this bedroom has been enclosed to serve as a more formal entry into this inviting space. Custom glass shelving & sheetrock can be removed just as easily as it was added. Opposite to this is the ensuite's bath.

The spacious secondary bathroom features marble all around--floor, countertop, & the tub/shower surround.

This primary bathroom with tasteful wall covering showcases a vanity, double sinks, & a large soaking tub.

The primary bathroom also features linen storage & a glass-encased walk-in shower.

The primary bedroom closet was beautifully customized for this homeowner.

The balcony at #23 offers beautiful tree-top views, along with a more favorable & gentle sight for those who adore high-end, high rise building living, but without the frightful heights.

Access into your home on the second floor is nearly exclusive--only shared with one other homeowner.

The Montebello, constructed in 2003, shares its provenance with the same minds as those who first envisioned Villa d’Este,, Belfiore, & Four Leaf Towers. Featured here, this is the stunning (& previously updated) lobby with 24-hour concierge. Valet service & onsite management are also yours as a resident.

To the right of the glass door entries into the lobby, your guests will wait here for you to greet them, as you may be running late from one of the great shopping adventures right outside the property gates.

The gallery past the lobby features the building elevators (those for residents are different than those for building services & in-unit assistance), and double-doors leading to world-class building management is straight ahead.

Another view of the gallery is a prime example of how Montebello combines timeless elegance with contemporary styling.

The card room, located on the first floor and just past the lobby, is just one of several amenity rooms available to residents.

The party room with caterer's kitchen and bar are perfect for entertaining & can be reserved.

What a view, what a garden! These beautifully-manicured grounds, adjacent to Hotel Granduca, will certainly transport you out of Houston & into the Italian countryside.

With Hotel Granduca in perfect sight & Villa d'Este anchoring your NW eyeline, you will forever be enamoured with the building's views, location, & conveniences.

The gorgeous pool is operable year-round, and is adjacent to the building's gym (to the right in this photograph).

Imagine enjoying this hot tub on a crisp, cool evening, & the views with which it comes!

The Montebello proudly stands 30-stories tall, featuring 98 privately-owned residences. Might you be the next one to call this magnificent place "home?"
