Nothing is better than having a home where your friends want to gather. But you’ve really hit the jackpot when it’s also where your kids and their friends want to hang out. That was the intention of the owners of this Preston Hollow dream home.
“Their main focus was a fun, gathering place,” Compass listing agent Britt Morris said. “They wanted some grandeur, but also an epicenter for entertaining all ages.”
With architect David Viosca and Zachary Custom Homes, the owners built a 10,786-square-foot Santa Barbara-influenced transitional home featuring spacious open living areas, designer finishes, and extensive natural light. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac on a 1.18-acre lot in Preston Hollow’s estate corridor, the location is ideal for privacy and exclusivity.
The exceptional living experience is clear immediately. Dramatic 23-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a massive great room overlook a backyard that rivals any resort.
Despite the grand public rooms, this is a family-friendly, functional home where nothing is overlooked. There are five bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and two half baths, including a spacious primary suite and a marble spa-inspired bath with a steam shower.
Children were top of mind in the design, and it’s evident in the dedicated kids’ study and resource room— a must-have in luxury homes. The couple’s three athletic kids inspired a home gym, full-size tennis court, and resort-style pool. The backyard blends turf and grass, perfect for field hockey practice.
Staying true to the home’s focus on entertainment, there is a fully equipped outdoor pavilion with two fireplaces that provides the ideal setting for hosting friends.
Now that the kids are grown, it’s time for another family to enjoy this home. The owners had Desco Fine Homes refresh the entire space, so it’s move-in ready and epically ready for entertaining!…
