Some houses look good in photos. This one holds up in person. Originally constructed by Gage Custom Homes, this Hillcrest Park residence in Preston Hollow offers a level of scale and architectural detail increasingly difficult to reproduce. Vaulted ceilings, arched openings, extensive millwork and bay windows give the home a sense of permanence that still reads immediately. A private elevator with battery backup connects both floors alongside two staircases. The secluded first-floor primary suite adds long-term livability, while four additional bedrooms, a soundproof movie theater and game room are upstairs. The approach sets the tone with a circular drive, mature trees, layered landscaping and a 100-by-150-foot lot with no HOA. Inside, the home has been refreshed with new hardwood flooring, fresh paint in the main living spaces, and new Visual Comfort and Ralph Lauren lighting. Four living areas and two dining rooms give the house room to stretch instead of strain. A dedicated study, wet bar, multiple wine coolers and beverage refrigerators, and two fireplaces support both daily living and entertaining. The kitchen features Sub-Zero refrigeration, Viking burners and two dishwashers. Out back is where the house earns its weekends. More than $150,000 has been invested in the outdoor environment, including a pool and spa, cabana, built-in grill station, covered outdoor kitchen, arbors, landscape lighting, turf, open lawn, mature trees and a privacy fence. A three-car garage and drive-through porte-cochère add function, while the whole-home generator is designed to keep three of the home’s four HVAC units running during an outage, along with lighting, refrigeration and the elevator. Ideally positioned near many of Dallas’s prominent private schools, with convenient access to Preston Royal, Preston Forest, The Plaza at Preston Center, NorthPark Center and Highland Park Village.
