CandysDirt staff meeting

It’s one of the most luxurious homes in Highland Park — or Texas — and we’ve got your ticket to tour at the next CandysDirt staff meeting.

Sitting on almost an acre at 3509 Euclid Ave., this Mediterranean villa is over 18,000 square feet of sophisticated spaces, with six bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, six half baths, four living rooms, three dining rooms, and 11 fireplaces on three stories, built in 2012.

On Thursday, Feb. 16 at 5:30 p.m., we’ll be there to take in the views and enjoy this private, luxe retreat near Armstrong and Abbot avenues in one of the toniest parts of Highland Park.

Just how exquisite is this villa? How about a wine grotto with tasting room, outdoor putting green, indoor golf simulator, sprawling 10-car garage, and a state-of-the-art gym with a steam and aromatherapy room? And the backyard is positively swoon-worthy, with a Tuscan cabana with a sitting room and private baths, sparkling swimming pool and spa, fountains, and a fire pit in the pool.

This masterpiece is the work of Fusch Architects, builder John Sebastian of Sebastian Construction Group, and Harold Leidner Landscape Architects. It is newly listed by JP Piccinini and Monica Shovlin with JP & Associates Realtors for $18 million.

How about a sneak peek before our CandysDirt staff meeting? I’d love to show you this property…

There’s nothing timid or shy about this gorgeous Mediterranean villa — its presence is stately and elegant. The walls are a golden Venetian plaster that absolutely glows, and when you walk into the grand entryway, it’s almost like being in a palace. But the remarkable thing is that as you continue into the house, it gets cozy and warm, even with its 18,000 square feet, and you get the sense that this is a place to gather, a place to create memories.

The formal living room

A grand staircase anchors the dramatic entryway, with decorative wrought iron balusters, Travertine floors, two-story ceilings, grand double doors with leaded glass, and space enough for a grand piano. To the left is the formal dining room, with a fireplace, space to seat 10 or 12 people, and sweeping views of the front courtyard through an oversized window. Nearby, the formal living room features beamed ceiling, a fireplace, and views of the loggia leading out to the spectacular backyard.

The kitchen is as remarkable as you would expect, with double-high custom cabinetry, dual sinks, a butler’s pantry, granite countertops, an oversized island with seating, breakfast bar, coffee bar, and commercial-grade stainless steel appliances, including dual dishwashers, double ovens, a built-in ice maker, Wolf gas range, and Wolf commercial-grade refrigerator.

The kitchen is open to the great room, creating a cozy, intimate vibe in this spacious area. There’s room for a dining table, large sectional sofa, and beautiful fireplace.
