This elegant home of French inspired design is found on one of Preston Hollow’s most desired, tranquil lanes. The stunning yet beautifully understated home is sited on almost three quarters of an acre of mature trees and plantings. The classic French stucco façade with its large windows and welcoming wrought iron doors exudes a warm and impressive drive-up.

Upon entering the large foyer, one is struck by the fabulous black and white “faux-tile” painted wooden floor. The sweeping staircase with iron railing set the gracious ambiance felt throughout the home. Sophisticated paint colors evoke a gaiety and creativity----this home has vibrancy and terrific personality!

The formal living room and dining room flank the entrance hall. The proportions of the living room and the warmth of its stone fireplace beckon one to sit and enjoy the comfort of its space. The large dining room with its deep bay window can accommodate a large variety of seating and serving, and is serviced by the adjoining butler’s pantry.

Beyond the living room one finds a very inviting and functional library with walls of bookshelves, beautifully finished plaster walls and ceiling, and views to the deep and very private side yard.

The very spacious family room anchors the rear of the home and is adjoined by the bright, sunny kitchen and breakfast room, and the well located bar with wine cooler and sink. The family room is accented by a beautifully painted wood beamed ceiling, and centers around the large limestone fireplace. A deep, broad covered porch transitions to the rear grounds and is accessed through a wall of French doors and floor to ceiling windows.


The beautifully equipped kitchen has honed marble counter tops, large center island with Wolf 6 burner gas cooktop, double dishwashers (one is the double-drawer variety for energy efficiency), double Wolf ovens, and two sinks. The adjoining butler’s pantry is lined with additional cabinetry for storage, and has a conveniently located warming drawer. In addition one finds a very large pantry.

One of two very spacious utility rooms is found just off the kitchen. The three car garage and the parking court facilitate easy and convenient entry through the side door. Two electric gates secure both the front entrance on Falls, and the side entrance on Douglas.

The master bedroom has the feel of an elegant Parisian apartment, with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the rear grounds. The master bath has a luxurious jetted tub, separate shower, and Crema Marfil floors and countertops. Two very spacious closets complete the master suite.

Upstairs one finds the perfect floorplan providing privacy for each of the additional 4 bedrooms and fabulously large playroom (or 5th upstairs bedroom), with its cozy dormers and nooks, as well as full bath.

Two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill white tiled bath, and the others each have their own baths. All have excellent closet space. A large play area is the central common room on the second floor. Here one also finds the second full laundry room.


The third floor is comprised of a wonderful media room with full bathroom---a very versatile, multipurpose space.

A secondary staircase leads down to the breakfast room. At the base of the stairs one finds the seventh full bathroom, perfect for pool and kitchen areas.

The rear grounds are lush and tranquil, and offer a true retreat. The central focus is on the outdoor living area with its massive fireplace. This arbor covered oasis is sheltered from the sun by a mass of mature wisteria, blooming well into summer with heavy fragrance and gorgeous clusters.

The pool and spa, secured by a wrought iron fence, are adjoined by an outdoor cooking area and deep side yard. A terrific graveled play yard is tucked away on the opposite end of the property.

Beds of azaleas and specimen trees and plantings complete the fabulously landscaped front and rear yards. Extensive tree lighting highlights all of these and provides a beautiful accent for nighttime entertainment.

Both sophisticated and charming, this home has tremendous elegance and character. Located in the heart of Preston Hollow with easy access the Dallas North Tollroad, Northwest Highway, and Central Expressway, it also is extremely convenient to both airports, the host of private schools, and fabulous shopping. A truly rare opportunity for a wonderful and serene life in the city.
