Behind multiple secured gates within Royal Oaks Country Club, this four-level, steel-framed estate spans more than 20,900 square feet and commands a rare position overlooking the lake and Fred Couples Signature golf course. Previously owned by NBA legend Nick Van Exel and featured on MTV Cribs, the residence is both a private sanctuary and a defining piece of Houston real estate. Designed by architect Paul Olson with interiors by Steven G. and Marc-Michaels, the home reflects more than $16 million in enhancements. Architectural details include the largest single-family residential door in the United States at the time of construction, 72 custom walnut doors, more than 700 recessed ceiling lights, two elevators, and an 11-zone HVAC system designed to support the scale and complexity of the residence. An entire level is devoted to the approximately 2,824-square-foot primary closet, the largest single-story residential dressing suite in America. Conceived as a private luxury boutique, it includes expansive wardrobe galleries, dedicated jewelry and accessory displays, a salon, lounge, bar, laundry room, private bath and extensive custom storage. The home’s amenities rival those of a private resort. A 13-seat cinema features approximately $500,000 in California Audio Technology speakers, while a commercial-grade Brunswick bowling alley, dual full kitchens, a 3,000-gallon aquarium, sauna, spa room and dedicated barbershop create an experience unlike anything else in the city. Outdoors, an infinity-edge pool, swim-up bar, covered terraces, and multiple entertaining areas take full advantage of the lake and golf course setting. Every level was designed to deliver privacy, scale, and spectacle, resulting in one of Houston’s most distinctive residential estates.
