Description

Beneath a canopy of majestic live oaks in a prime pocket of Preston Hollow, this renovated New Orleans–inspired Southern traditional makes a striking first impression. A winding brick walk leads to the classic red-brick facade, with its two-story columned gallery, wrought-iron balconies and arched front door crowned by a fanlight transom. A three-car garage completes the exterior. Inside, timeless architecture meets a fresh, collected sensibility, with tall ceilings, rich hardwoods, arched openings and refined millwork throughout. A gracious entry, anchored by a study with built-ins, opens to light-filled living spaces. The family room centers on a carved fireplace mantel flanked by custom shelving and Schumacher wallpaper, with French doors to the patio and an easy flow into the kitchen for effortless entertaining. Just off the family room are a temperature-controlled wine room and a wet bar wrapped in wallpaper from floor to barrel-vaulted ceiling, leading to the butler’s pantry — perfect for hosting. The chef’s kitchen features Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, custom cabinetry with glass-front display, a carved stone hood, marble counters and an island with a prep sink. The first-floor primary suite is a serene retreat with tailored drapery, designer lighting and a marble bath with a soaking tub, dual vanities and separate closets. A second bedroom with an en-suite bath, two powder baths, a mudroom, a built-in desk ideal for crafts or homework, a large laundry room and two staircases complete the main level. Upstairs, a vaulted game room and a media room that could serve as a fifth bedroom or gym offer flexible space for everyone. Outdoors, the covered back patio extends the living space into a private, resort-style retreat with a sparkling pool and spa, low-maintenance turf, sculptural palms and new landscaping, all framed by a lush evergreen screen.
