Rarely does a property so successfully combine exceptional construction,superior design and materials, superb floor plan on a quiet and private Preston Hollow setting. This exquisite Hawkins-Welwood home has a striking English stone and brick façade and sits on a expansive 146 x 166 lot (0.557 acres).Upon entering one is immediately struck by the soaring 25 foot ceilings, beautiful curved staircase and sight lines of the rear grounds. Flanking the entryway to the left is a spacious, light-filled dining room anchored by a beautiful stone fireplace. Located opposite of the dining room is the formal living that is also anchored by a beautiful stone fireplace. Beyond the formal living is a handsome library that shares views of a private stone patio with an elegant water fountain. At the back of the home is the Family room that features vaulted ceilings with timber beams, a stone fireplace and three sets of French doors that open to the covered terrace. Adjacent to the Family room is a large breakfast area that opens to the kitchen and features the fourth stone fireplace in the home. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with abundant counter space, two sinks, six burner Wolfe gas cook top, double ovens, built-in microwave, two Bosch dishwashers and Sub-Zero refrigerator, freezer and two cooling drawers. The tasteful design of the kitchen includes wood finishes and light gold and tan granite. A large temperature controlled wine closet offers a convenient and handsome way to display your vintage wine collection. Off the kitchen is a back stairway and a large utility room with views into a landscaped courtyard. The downstairs master suite features 15 foot ceilings and a wall of windows overlooking the rear grounds. His and her master baths and spacious closets offer views of the landscaped vistas without sacrificing privacy. Opposite of the master suite, is a downstairs guest bedroom and bath. There are three garage spaces, a two-car bay and single-car bay. On the second level of this home there are three more bedrooms, game room, and separate media room. The bedrooms are all generously sized with attached baths and abundant closet space. The game room offers a wet bar area with granite counters. The media room is well-lit with natural light and has an extra sitting area. The size of the lot and configuration of the home allow enough space for a large covered loggia with outdoor fireplace, pool, spa and two grass play areas. The pool and spa were built by Riverbend Sandler and feature a lovely waterfall cascading over the spa wall. The mature landscaping covers the ten foot stone wall on the back of the property to accentuate the architectural features of the backyard and create a truly private setting.
