OMBRE ET LUMIÈRE
THE SIGNATURE HOME
Tucked within the exclusive enclave of East Shore, Ombre et Lumière is a Southern French Colonial estate that captures the quiet interplay of contrast and beauty. Set on nearly one acre along Lake Woodlands, the home is framed by mature trees, breezy porches, and carefully tended gardens. Behind handcrafted iron gates, its architecture and setting offer a graceful retreat just steps from shopping, dining, and The Pavilion.
GRAND ENTRY
A MOMENT OF ARRIVAL
Step through solid mahogany doors and into a home that immediately commands attention. The grand rotunda rises three stories high, crowned by a custom stained-glass dome from Foster Stained Glass. Below, a sweeping walnut staircase, crafted on-site by hand, spirals upward with sculptural grace. Crema Marfil marble floors with black granite inlay lead the way through a space that feels less like an entrance and more like a welcome into something extraordinary.
THE LIVING SPACE
WARMTH IN EVERY DETAIL
Adjoining the kitchen, the great room blends old-world inspiration with modern ease. A custom-designed limestone fireplace, echoing the lines of Louis Sullivan’s Chicago Stock Exchange, sets the tone for intimate evenings and festive gatherings alike. Twelve-foot ceilings, intricate crown moldings, and light flowing in from tall windows give the space both volume and soul. This is where the family slows down, stories are told, and seasons take root.
THE KITCHEN
CULINARY CRAFT & COMFORT
In the kitchen at Ombre et Lumière, form and function are served in equal measure. Twin islands topped with hand-selected quartzite offer a generous canvas for cooking and gathering, while custom Osborne cabinetry and in-cabinet lighting lend refinement to every detail. A Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and Rohl fixtures elevate daily rituals, all grounded by slate flooring laid in a soldiered pattern. Whether preparing a quiet breakfast or hosting a full holiday spread, this space answers with ease and grace.
GAME & MEDIA ROOM
ENTERTAIN WITH INTENTION
Walnut wainscoting wraps the room in warmth, while handcrafted pocket doors and a striking black marble fireplace hint at the elegance woven into every detail. This isn’t just a game room, it’s a space where the everyday slows down and moments stretch. Pour a rare bourbon at the custom stained-glass bar, or rack the next round beneath the soft glow of a 1910 Tiffany-style pendant. Just steps away, the media room offers a cinematic escape, with layered acoustic wall panels and tiered seating designed for deep immersion and uninterrupted indulgence.
THE LIBRARY
QUIET GRANDEUR
Tucked just beyond the study, the upper-level library offers a space meant not just for books, but for thought. Two walls of glass-enclosed, lighted bookshelves stretch floor to ceiling, showcasing volumes as art and legacy. A reproduction Justice chandelier casts a warm glow, while antique gasoliers and French sconces add layered charm. Whether curled up with a classic or hosting a quiet evening discussion, this space invites stillness and depth, an ode to lifelong curiosity, beautifully framed.
PRIMARY WING
A SANCTUARY ALL ITS OWN
Tucked in its own private corner of the home, the primary suite is designed for end-of-day exhale. Crown moldings, inspired by Magnolia Hall in Natchez, frame the ceiling above a space wrapped in soft textures and architectural detail. In the adjoining bath, antique Baccarat chandeliers from Royal Street shimmer above a Victoria & Albert freestanding tub. Just beyond, dual closets offer glass-fronted display cabinetry, Restoration Hardware lighting, and antique brass hardware that feels more boutique than bedroom.
OTHER BEDROOMS
CONSIDERED, NOT SECONDARY
Each additional bedroom at Ombre et Lumière offers more than square footage, they provide intention. Every suite features its own private bath, walk-in closet, and a unique design story told through custom lighting, bespoke vanities, and antique fixtures sourced from across the country. From the marble flooring to the thoughtful storage, nothing about these rooms feels like an afterthought.
ROOFTOP ENTERTAINING
ABOVE IT ALL
Ascend to the rooftop deck and discover one of East Shore’s rarest luxuries: a flat entertaining space with sweeping views of Lake Woodlands and Town Center beyond. Outfitted with integrated lighting and audio, this space invites everything from golden hour cocktails to evening stargazing. With its rooftop belvedere and decorative balustrade, this private perch is equal parts serenity and spectacle.
PRIVATE APARTMENT RETREAT
INDEPENDENCE, THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED
Perched above the detached garage and connected by a sheltered breezeway, this private apartment offers a haven of autonomy and ease. Designed with the same level of care as the main residence, it features a full kitchen, spacious bath, and airy open-plan living, thoughtfully tailored for guests, extended stays, or dedicated staff. Every fixture, finish, and flourish reflects the estate’s broader commitment to beauty and livability.
ARCHITECTURAL ELEGANCE
A MASTERPIECE OF PLASTERWORK, DESIGN, AND TIMELESS CRAFTSMANSHIP

In this video, The Kink Team invites you to explore a home that is a true work of art, showcasing extraordinary plasterwork that elevates each room with texture, depth, and sophistication. From sweeping staircases to intricate ceiling details, every element is crafted with purpose, reflecting the home’s rich character and refined design.
WOODLANDS
DREAM HOME
SOUTHERN FRENCH COLONIAL LUXURY WITH UNMATCHED VIEWS OF LAKE WOODLANDS
Experience refined living in this extraordinary East Shore estate, gracefully positioned on a one-acre corner lot with sweeping views of Lake Woodlands. Behind a custom solid iron fence lies a Southern French Colonial residence, where handmade plaster moldings and exquisite architectural detailing define every space. Just a short stroll from the Waterway, Hughes Landing, and Market Street, this home offers elegance, location, and prestige unlike anything else in The Woodlands.
Over the years, I’ve walked through countless exceptional residences in The Woodlands, each with its own story to tell. But the first time I toured Ombre et Lumière, I felt something different, an immediate sense that this home wasn’t just beautiful, it was soulful. From the first curve of its architecture to the thoughtful layering of light and texture throughout, it was obvious this space was crafted to stir emotion as much as admiration. And it wasn’t until I sat down with the owners, hearing how each space was carefully imagined and lived in, that I truly grasped what made it extraordinary.
What you’re about to explore isn’t just a listing, it’s a glimpse into a life of balance, beauty, and intention. As you turn the pages ahead, allow yourself to feel what it might be like to wake up in these rooms, to host loved ones under these ceilings, to watch the sun dance across the water. This is Ombre et Lumière. And perhaps, it’s where your story begins next.
