Larry House residence
The Larry House residence is a 15-bedroom, 22-bath residence at 7 Montagel Way in the Shoal Creek Golf and Country Club. It was built in 1997 for MedPartners CEO Larry House.
The 37,135 square-foot main house was designed by architect Bill Shepherd in a "French Chateau" style with limestone and stucco on the exterior walls and a hipped slate roof topped with a domed cupola. The entrance foyer features a frescoed ceiling with a massive crystal chandelier. Some of the detailed trim work was designed by IFACS. The house is equipped with a commercial elevator, a 38-seat cinema, limestone and maple flooring, a 12-cubicle home office,
The terraced lawn is ornamented with large urns and a fountain, encircled by a guitar-shaped drive.
Besides the main house, the 27-acre property includes a guest house, a swimming pool with two cabanas connected by a curving arcade, a 6-stall barn with additional living quarters, a riding ring, and four fenced pastures.
The house sold at auction in 2003 for just under $4 million. It is currently on the market, listed at $17.9 million.
