Grounds this good don’t pop up every day in Preston Hollow. And on Park Lane? Such a treat. This particular property in Old Preston Hollow is situated on 1.176 acres in arguably the most prestigious pocket of the neighborhood. It boasts five bedrooms, 6.2 baths, and 9,883 square feet of living space. The best thing about this property is that despite looking like it has been around for decades, it was built in 2010 by Rusty Goff. The owners have thoughtfully updated throughout the years to make the space light, bright, and easy to move right in and create your own spaces.
An English Country Estate at its core, the property is as charming as they come. The exterior is made even lovelier with grand gardens that truly are a diamond in the rough, in terms of Dallas lots. There are also intricate touches that set it apart from others from the moment you pull up to the home. Think an imported clay tile roof and a hard quartzite stone exterior. There is also a four-car garage for hiding cars, which can affect the overall aesthetic of a property at first glance.
Inside the home, spaces are intimate and cozy despite there being plenty of space to stretch out. Some of the most notable spaces include a wood-paneled library, a large living room, and a well-appointed chef’s kitchen that opens to a keeping room. The lower level also houses an exquisite primary bedroom suite with more than enough room for multiple people to get ready in style simultaneously. Bubble bath, anyone? If you know, you know! And if you don’t, look at the pictures.
Upstairs there are three additional bedrooms suites and a living area that makes for a perfect wing for the children. A separate guest suite with a kitchenette is also upstairs, accessible through a private interior entrance. Perhaps mother-in-law suite or pad for your live-in nanny? The possibilities here are endless.
A rare feature of this home is the finished basement. For North Texas, this is almost unheard of. This area adds some of the recreational spaces to the floor plan including a gym, second laundry and pet room, and even a large family room with a fireplace. An elevator provides access to all three floors regardless of your age or mobility. The property also has a geothermal HVAC and a generator to ensure that the family that lives here is set for any kind of weather situation.
Candidly, this home has it all. It has been around one of the most established blocks in Old Preston Hollow long enough to look like it fits in. However, it is new enough to avoid all the nuisances associated with the lovely, but costly drawbacks of an older property. Couple this beautiful home with its tranquil lot and you’re basically in the English Countryside and somehow still less than 15 minutes from downtown Dallas.
