The Mediterranean-style mansion that late Houston real estate mogul Gerald Hines called home for decades is officially on the market with an asking price of $34.5 million.

The 17,405-square-foot, three-story mansion at 2920 Lazy Lane sits on a 4.5-acre property in the Homewoods neighborhood of River Oaks. The primary home has four to five bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. There's also an adjoining guest apartment and a separate caretaker’s residence.

Hines, who died in August at the age of 95, was, of course, known for his keen interest in real estate. For his own home, Hines turned to close friend and renowned architect Philip Johnson for advice. Johnson recommended New York-based Robert A.M. Stern Architects to design an Italian-style villa that recalled Hines’ vacations in Tuscany. Stern Architects is known for designing estates for wealthy homebuyers around the world.

When the home was completed in 1992, Hines nicknamed it Adagio, Italian for “at a slow tempo.” The home features a number of design elements reminiscent of its Mediterranean muses, including terra cotta roof tiles, white columns, grand hallways with arched doorways and domed ceilings.
