The Glenwood Residence is a rare balance of privacy and proximity the expansive grounds create a resort-like setting around the residence walking distance from Memorial Park, while Houstons skyline remains visible beyond. The heated infinity pool, manicured lawn and multiple outdoor living spaces offer a sense of retreat remarkably close to the heart of the city
Designed by Hollenbeck Architects and custom built by David Gunn for its original and only owner, The Glenwood residence pairs a rare over 31k sf lot, 3-car garage and private gated motor court with an equally irreplaceable location. At the doorstep of Memorial Park nearly 1,500 acres and one of Houstons defining urban landmarks the residence sits moments from its Memorial Park & Golf Course, home of the PGA TOURs Houston Open, while remaining minutes from River Oaks, Uptown, The Galleria and Downtown.
The architecture unfolds beyond the front elevation, with clean geometric forms, warm mahogany accents and mature landscaping creating a more private side of the residence. Generous setbacks allow the home to feel substantial without sacrificing openness, greenery or privacy.
The side elevation reveals the homes material driven architecture, where rich mahogany accents, three-coat traditional hard-coat stucco, stacked stone and a natural slate roof create a warm contrast of texture and form.
A perspective that reveals what makes the 309 Glenwood so difficult to replicate the residence, gated motor court and 3-car garage occupy only part of the property, leaving remarkable grounds for the heated infinity pool, spa, putting green and expansive lawn.
