And the Award for Modern Mediterranean Goes to This Lakewood Listing

Mediterranean-style architecture with its organic aesthetic and time-honored craftsmanship has a way of summoning coastal scenery and classic art. Some of our favorite films, like The Talented Mr. Ripley and No Time to Die, benefit from this beautiful style. And while it’s essentially defined by old-world character, you might be surprised how some have incorporated a modern twist.

For this week’s Inwood Home of the Week sponsored by Inwood National Bank, we’re going to show you exactly what that looks like.

Set in Lakewood, we’ve got a four-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom, 5,244-square-foot Mediterranean home that balances classic theme with ultra-contemporary character.

From the exterior, this home makes a sophisticated statement. With a soaring stature, this home plays up the movement with arched windows, exposed rafter trails, and terracotta venting. Then, crisp stucco and a manicured lawn add to its elegance.

Just off the front porch, a charming courtyard creates a warm and inviting first impression, setting the tone for the thoughtful design found throughout the home.

Entering this new build knocks you back on your feet. While it’s anchored in a heritage ethos, it stands out with ultra-modern design. Of course, this plays out through an abundance of details like hand-selected finishes, artisan tile, designer lighting, and elevated wallcoverings. From the sleek white oak flooring to the hearty ceiling beams and massive front door, craftsmanship is also at the heart of this home.

Grammercy Custom Homes brought this vision to life, and they made livability a top priority. The main living room serves as the centerpiece of this home, and it encourages next-level entertaining. Opening to the impressive outdoor oasis and extending to the kitchen and formal dining area, this space is great for any type of gathering. At its focus, a stunning limestone hearth underscores the elevated design.

“Gramercy has outdone itself on this property,” said listing agent Michelle Hopson with Compass RE Texas. “The floor plan is comfortable and smart and is second only to the exquisite color palette, which makes this home feel serene and inviting from the moment you walk through the front door!”

Of course, you cannot talk Mediterranean without covering the culinary aspects. This home hits it out of the park with a chef’s kitchen that would make Bobby Flay blush. Featuring top-of-the-line Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, a prep pantry with workstation sink and second dishwasher, and a hidden walk-in storage pantry, it is as stylish as it is functional. Also, a striking custom white oak bar with hidden beverage drawers is perfectly positioned for effortless entertaining.

Then, the owner’s retreat punctuates the luxe appeal of this illustrious home. Laid out under a stunning recessed ceiling and chandelier, it plays up creativity and character to the max.

The ensuite bathroom brings out the best in any routine with dual vanities, a stand-alone soaking tub, and a show-stopping arched glass shower. Therefore, each morning and evening feels like a Roman resort spa escape.

From the front office to the abundant guest suite, this home’s massive floor plan opens unlimited living opportunities. The second level also features an additional living area with a wet bar, two generous secondary ensuite bedrooms, and the main laundry room.

Finally, this home opens up to an otherworldly oasis right in the backyard. Step through the incredible 16-foot sliding door and experience a private, resort-style backyard. This area welcomes unforgettable moments with a heated covered patio, sparkling pool, spa, and turfed yard. As the sun sets, enjoy movie nights under the stars with the 142-inch outdoor power projector screen, a true extension of the home’s entertaining capabilities.

If we had to award the best modern Mediterranean on the market today, this home would take home the prize.
