The newly built, 9,000-square-foot property in River Oaks—with architecture by Houston’s Benjamin Johnston Design—is, like the City of Love, utterly timeless and as indulgent as a tarte aux pommes from Poilâne.
“They worked with a great architect to develop the shell, which was a beautiful combination of this classically drawn building with a lot of modern, contemporary details,” Flanigan says. “We tried to keep the aesthetic really clean too.”
