Live in the lap of luxury at the Arabella high-rise condominium building that sits just next to Houston's River Oaks District and three blocks from The Galleria. Apartment 1201 is currently listed for $3,180,000 by Cesar Estafan of Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

This condo is unique to the building's other offerings because of its floor plan. As one of the first buyers in the building, the owner was able to have the developer combine a one-bedroom unit with a three-bedroom unit to create a spacious place. The 3,584-square-foot home has four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a half-bathroom.

An elegant living room is separated from the dining space by a large glass-encased column. A wall of windows shows off the condo's views of downtown Houston, which seems endless thanks to glass balcony rails.

The kitchen has its own sitting room space that could be used for a variety of purposes, whether that's to enjoy cocktails with friends or help complete the night's homework. Flat-panel cabinets and a waterfall marble countertop on the kitchen's island contribute to the modern aesthetic.

Wide plank hardwood flooring stretches from the living spaces to the primary bedroom and en suite. Perhaps the most impressive space in this home is the primary walk-in closet. The custom closet has a chandelier, an island with additional storage and a mirrored ceiling that makes the already expansive space feel even larger.

After a day of shopping to fill the closet's racks, why not take a soak in the primary bathroom's tub? If a bathtub is not ideal, then the shower with both rain and standard showerheads should do the trick.

The primary bathroom has both a large shower and deep soaking tub.

Guests will feel right at home in one of the three stylish bedrooms. They may be spending more of their time out on the balcony though. The 180-square-foot balcony could easily play host to late-night conversations, early-morning coffees or lazy afternoons.

Safety and privacy are key features thanks to the private elevator that can only be used with the owner's key fob. Additional safety features include Arabella's doorman, staff in Arabella uniforms and name badges, 24-hour concierge and private garages. It is easier to enjoy the building's other numerous amenities when one doesn't have to be concerned about security. Whether that is taking a dip in the indoor or outdoor pool, enjoying the private garden or relaxing in the sauna, there are numerous benefits to living in the Arabella.
