The Azalea Trail - HOUSE AND GARDENS

6118 Crab Orchard

Houston architect Travis Mattingly was asked to design this home in the Louisiana Delta style of A. Hays Town. It was completed in 2001. The house has two fronts: one facing Crab Orchard and one, with twin spiral iron staircases, facing Buffalo Bayou across
from the Houston Country Club golf course. In keeping with the style of A. Hays Town, the home features old brick, exterior French doors with full length mahogany shutters, deep porches, well proportioned columns, wide planked floors of Mayan walnut, and
extensive millwork with beamed ceilings. Antiques, oriental rugs and original art augment the low country style. The brick circular driveway design leading to the front entrance is repeated on the north side with circular flower beds surrounding a fountain. The subdued garden is one of textures and green on green, allowing an uninterrupted view of the golf course.
