While it’s only been a couple of weeks, I say it must be the bi-polar February weather that has this Prestonwood beauty lingering without a buyer. It’s a dream house in a dream neighborhood, and that’s why it’s this week’s Highlight Home of the Week, sponsored by Lisa Peters, Senior Loan Officer with First Horizon.
Prestonwood is a perfect location: in Far North Dallas, the neighborhood enjoys easy access to both the Tollway and Central Expressway, Addison restaurants and night life are a short drive away, and the neighborhood feeds into Richardson ISD schools, while still maintaining a Dallas address. Manicured lawns, mature trees, and pretty homes line the streets of the “most friendly neighborhood I’ve ever experienced,” according to listing agent Phillip Murrell of Compass Real Estate. “The open houses we’ve had have been really fun, like reunions — everyone knows each other in this neighborhood.”
Having undergone an extensive renovation in 2022, 6914 Kingshollow is thoughtfully and meticulously put together. When you enter the home, you take in beautiful details like the vaulted ceilings and plantation shutters. The floors are newly replaced with wide plank wood flooring. To the right as you enter is the living area, and the left is the formal dining that opens into the kitchen and breakfast nook.
The dining room is spacious, allowing for large party entertaining, with an elegant lofted ceiling and plenty of natural light.
The living room has a stunning tray ceiling and anchored by a floor-to-ceiling fireplace surround. The immense picture window is a showpiece in itself, providing tons of light and a view to the neighborhood. My husband would say, “That’s a Christmas tree window.”
Pass through the dining room to a breakfast nook and the kitchen, the heart of the home. Murrell says, “Hosting the mosting is made easy with double ovens, 6-burner gas range, quartz counters, beverage fridge and walk-in pantry with ample storage.”
Navy cabinets offset the sleek white countertops and cabinetry crowned by gold fixtures in a beautifully eye-catching and thoroughly modern design.
The home abounds with storage space, with built-ins galore, a walk-in attic space upstairs, and this cool wet bar with extra cabinetry (below).
The home has four bedrooms, with three on one side of the home and a fourth on the opposite end of the first floor, providing the ultimate privacy for guests or a mother-in-law suite. The primary suite is generous, yet cozy, with a fully updated, spa-like bath. All the bathrooms are lovely and with sparkling renovations completed for every member of the family.
Upstairs, is a great den/game room where the kids can reign, or set up your media room and billiards here for an adult retreat. The room has sliding glass doors to a terrace overlooking the backyard.
A large backyard is just begging for a playscape or a trampoline, or maybe a pool, with plenty of room left over for the dogs to run.
This home feels like that house where all the kids in the neighborhood gather after school or for sleepovers, while still looking like it could grace the pages of a magazine. And it’s in Prestonwood, feeding to top-rated Brentfield Elementary School. And it’s listed for under $1 million in Far North Dallas. Some lucky buyer is going to scoop this one up quick, because it’s a wonder they haven’t already…
