Houston Mansion Will Sell to Highest Bidder at Luxury Auction® this Saturday


This Saturday, a luxurious Houston home will be sold to the highest bidder at a luxury auction® without reserve. The property was recently asking $9.25 million but will now sell regardless of the auction's high bid amount. The seller retained Miami-based auction house Platinum Luxury Auctions to conduct the July 29th sale in cooperation with Compass, the property's listing brokerage of record. Listing agent Toktam "Toke" Ettehadieh is representing Compass in the transaction.

The custom-built residence was completed in 2021 and enjoys added privacy thanks to its location on a quiet cul-de-sac within the Hunterwood community, one of Houston's most desirable residential enclaves. While offering plenty of peace and quiet, the neighborhood is conveniently located close to downtown Houston, the Galleria retail complex and a number of public parks.

This past October, the property enjoyed a feature in Mansion Global. At the time, a Rolls Royce was being offered with the home. Although the fancy automobile is no longer included in the sale, "We're presuming buyers will still be excited by the opportunity to name their price for the property, which should leave plenty left over to purchase the latest Rolls Royce, if desired," joked Trayor Lesnock, Platinum's founder and president.

The property's premier amenity may be its resort-style backyard, which features a large pool, spa, surround sound and 2,100 sf of deck space. "It's akin to something one might see at a boutique, luxury hotel rather than a residence," Lesnock added.

Modern yet welcoming, the home features an architecturally refined design that relies on lofted ceilings and spacious living areas to create elegant, light-filled interiors. Two living levels offer 10,500 sf of living area, with 7 bedrooms and 8.5 baths. High-end finishes include hardwood maple flooring and Italian marble.

The primary suite is located on the entry level, and offers a spacious bedroom with a cozy fireplace, along with an adjoining room perfect for a fitness area, nursery, or study. Its oversized bathroom includes a soaking tub, shower and his-and-hers vanities, in addition to dual water closets and walk-ins with built-in shelving.

The home's six additional bedrooms each feature en-suite baths, with the largest of these bedrooms functioning as a "junior primary" or special guests' suite. Additional features include a gourmet kitchen, two-story library/study with soaring bookshelves, a home theater, elevator, upper-level entertainment lounge with its own kitchenette, and a 3-vechicle garage.

Previews of the property are available through 5pm CT on Friday, July 28, which is also the deadline by which interested bidders must register to participate in the auction sale the following day. Information on property previews and auction registration is available by contacting Platinum's project manager, Chase Boruff, at 800.674.2997. Additional information is also available online at TexasLuxuryAuction.com.
