This lovely Preston Hollow masterpiece exemplifies elegance and good taste. Situated on a lovely treed lot, the residence gives a feeling of established grace and solid strength without being imposing or overbearing. Beautiful formal areas are perfectly balanced by spacious and warm informal areas and outdoor spaces.
The two-story foyer is impressive and spacious, yet welcoming. The beautiful curving staircase wraps around the foyer and is complemented by the attractive iron balustrade. Rich hand-scraped hardwood floors stretch throughout the first floor living areas. A formal living area off of the entrance hall is inviting and cozy with a fireplace and large windows overlooking the outdoor living area and pool. From the foyer, the family room is entered via a graceful archway with art niche. The large family room features beamed ceilings, a wall of windows overlooking the backyard and outdoor spaces, and an attractive stone archway leading to the kitchen and breakfast area. A stunning fireplace with beautiful stone hearth adds warmth and balance.
The impressive kitchen is indeed a treat. Gleaming granite surfaces, a well designed center island with vegetable sink and a unique round butcher block, and a large walk-in pantry are just a few highlights. The kitchen offers an abundance of cabinet storage as well. Appliances include a built-in Viking refrigerator and freezer, a Viking range with hood, two wine refrigerators, warming drawers, and two Viking dishwashers. A butler’s pantry allows for extra storage and features lovely glass front cabinets. Additionally, there is a service entrance off of the kitchen as well as a computer desk and work surface with cabinets and drawers.
Located on the first floor, the Master Suite is an owner’s retreat to be enjoyed. Large windows overlook the pool and backyard. A well placed fireplace is intimate and attractive. The master bath offers a jetted tub, double shower, separate water closet, and a wet bar. There is also an exercise room offering access to the backyard and pool. The large walk-in closet is well appointed with built-ins and storage. Other highlights of the first floor include a very attractive guest suite with private bath and views of the outdoor living area and pool. Additionally there is a spacious study with lovely wood details, built-ins, and a nicely appointed closet for extra storage and computer equipment. The second floor features three additional bedrooms, each with private bath. Two of the three bedrooms offer interesting “alcoves” that are a charming departure from the typical square room. Additionally, the second floor includes a game room, and also a well designed computer alcove with work surfaces and storage. The media room is an ideal setting with a wet bar and adjacent powder room. A hobby room is accessed through the media room and is a great place for additional storage or gift wrapping.
Beautiful outdoor areas include a crystalline pool with attractive stone waterfall and separate spa with fountain. A beautiful outdoor living center features a large covered area with gorgeous fireplace and a built in gas grill. Ample deck surfaces allow for groupings of lounge chairs or tables around the pool.
