The stately mansion at 5620 Bordley Drive in the heart of Tanglewood might have been built in 2000, but today it enjoys all the bells and whistles and design motifs as of-the-moment as one can get thanks to a $1.5 million renovation in 2021. Add the double lot, a rarity in the prestigious neighborhood and this exceptional dwelling is sure to readily find a buyer.
Only weeks on the market, the 10,840-square-foot, three-story house is listed for $6.5 million with Ellie Riney and Dana Litwiller of Nan and Company Properties.
Coincidentally, only shortly after Nan and Company CEO and broker Nancy Almodovar revealed the launch of a Sports & Entertainment Division, this house — once the home of former Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub — is in her hands. We doubt that Schaub would recognize his one-time home from the inside.
The open floor plan allows ease of traffic flow with movement between the living room, breakfast room and kitchen unobstructed. Windows and doors have been replaced with Cantera steel products. A new staircase featuring glass railings, floating stairs and LED lights that change colors becomes a design focal point of the open spaces.
The kitchen also got gutted, resulting in a state-of-the-art wonder. Dekton countertops and custom Eggersmann cabinetry throughout provide a sleek look. Amenities include a 36-inch Sub-Zero fridge, a 36-inch Sub-Zero freezer, Wolf steam oven, induction cooktop and two Cove dishwashers, a coffee bar with hidden doors, drawer microwave and three ovens.
The home gym features a fingerprint scanner to open.

Even the heated swimming pool and back garden have been remodeled. The landscaping is new with lush synthetic grass and new drainage systems. Planter beds are adorned with Corten edging. Decorative floodlights illuminate the outdoor spaces. Also in the backyard beneath a canopy of mature oak trees, you’ll find a complete man cave, outfitted with its own wet bar and half bath.
