Living the Sweet Life in Sugar Land

If you’re going to live in Houston, then you could hardly ask for a more desirable neighborhood than Sugar Land. Once a sugar plantation, life has always been pretty sweet in this highly sought-after enclave of affluence in Houston.

And nowhere in the city is the good life more delicious than at 5324 Palm Royale Boulevard, which is currently on the market. Locally known as the “Crown Jewel” of Palm Royale, this opulent mansion inspires envy in all – from the first moment when they pass by its substantial, wrought iron gates.

It’s not often that a home this tantalizing comes on the market, but today happens to be just such an occasion. If you’re the sort with a sweet tooth for the good life and the means to indulge it, then this stunning property can be yours for a cool $12.8 million.

A Feast for the Senses in Houston

Truly, this is a property whose richness is nearly beyond compare. In a world of so many cookie-cutter dwellings, this residence stands alone: a palace in every sense of the word.

Its three-story foyer is simply dazzling. Overhead, the sunlight gently filters in through a handmade, stained glass dome. A bespoke Murano glass chandelier cascades down from the ceiling, casting sparkling rays on the central fountain beneath.

To either side, twin bridal staircases of the finest marble wrap their voluptuous curves around a circular parlor, fit for Marie Antoinette. The entryway alone is enough to make anyone fall in love with this modern-day palace, but we’ve only just begun to unpack its beauty.

Even More to Behold at 5324 Palm Royale Blvd.

The capacious master bedroom’s two-story ceilings give it a grand, romantic atmosphere. In the master bath, four impressive marble columns guard a circular spa tub as a crystal chandelier glimmers overhead. It’s a regal atmosphere that puts even the most exclusive beauty spas to shame.

Feel like enjoying the latest blockbuster? Why not watch it in your own, private movie theater? Any cinema buff would be proud to show off this grand home’s viewing room, with its auditorium-style luxury seating, its glimmering starlight ceiling, and its velvet-curtained, precision-calibrated high definition movie screen.

Cleopatra herself would feel right at home soaking up the rays while lounging around the Crown Jewel of Sugar Land’s picturesque outdoor pool. Surrounded by roaring outdoor torches and flanked on either side by enchanting water features, there’s no finer place in Texas to perfect one’s backstroke.

A Richness of Fine Detail in Houston

There are plenty of huge homes in the Houston area, but so few can be called palaces. And this one certainly can, while the little details certainly contribute to its regal bearing. Fine imported marble is everywhere, from the floors to the columns to the kitchen countertops.

And every single wall in this home is real Venetian plaster. Twenty-four-karat gold leaf adorns the intricate trim work, and enchanting details such as coffered Renaissance-style ceilings, Baroque wrought iron railings, and intricately carved door casements abound. There’s truly something captivating in every little corner, and one can tell that this home’s designers spared no expense in making it fit for royalty.

The Palace Grounds

Like a fine jewel, a home this luxuriant requires a fitting setting. The immaculately manicured grounds at 5324 Palm Royale Boulevard certainly up to snuff. This palatial manse is situated on nearly two acres of some the most desirable land in the state, so you’ll have plenty of space to enjoy the great outdoors. With the right permits, you could even start a private menagerie of exotic beasts. Perhaps a dog would be more practical. Either way, you and your pets will have plenty of room to roam.
