Transitional Mediterranean Mansion Has Everything — Even a Secret Room!

It’s Monday. Ease into it. Grab your coffee, sit back, relax, and enjoy our Monday Morning Millionaire, a gorgeous transitional Mediterranean mansion at 6214 Mimosa Lane. Nestled in the middle of one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Dallas — Preston Hollow North — it has everything you could wish for in a home. Even our discerning staff can’t find anything that has been overlooked, and we’re somewhat hard to impress.

Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate agents Mark Cain and Stan Williams slipped this 8,815-square-foot stunner onto the market last week.

Every homeowner adds their own special touch when they buy a house. This home was beautiful when it was built in 2003, but now it’s spectacular. The present owners spent about nine months transforming it into an elegant, state-of-the-art home that has every modern amenity.

“It was originally a very traditional home,” Cain said. “The present owners moved it into a transitional direction with very clean lines. The rooms are beautifully scaled, and the finish out is exquisite.”

There are six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a powder bath, and not one, but two home offices. A home theater will keep everyone entertained, and a gym ensures everyone can stay fit in privacy. Guests have their own accommodation in an apartment over the garage with a private entrance.

It’s a given this home is beautiful, with some striking elements added — just check out that wine display. However, it’s often the things you don’t see that separate the beautiful homes from the beauties that also have brains.

A custom lighting system is something we seldom notice until we do, and it makes all the difference in a home. Security systems are vital now, and this home has the latest and greatest with multiple surveillance cameras, all operated from your phone or tablet. There’s are also integrated vacuum, water purification, geothermal HVAC systems, and an elevator.

That’s a lot to love in this house. One of our favorite spots is the playroom. Look closely at that upstairs living area. Check out the built-in bookcase. Behind it lies the hidden room of every childhood dream. Usually, secret rooms are dark and a bit creepy, but this one has a wall of windows and plenty of room for all the neighborhood kids to convene. Of course, you don’t have to tell the kids about it because it would also make a great adult hideaway. There’s plenty of room for a nice sized wine fridge in there!

This house that is extremely well suited for parties. While the interior flows beautifully and that chef’s kitchen will bring out your inner Gordon Ramsay, we’d be throwing parties outside. That loggia alone is made for everything from children’s birthday parties to cocktail soirees. It’s just far enough away from the gorgeous pool that there’s no fear of a misstep if you have one too many of those cocktails.

It’s a lot of house for $2.897 million, and it does have everything! Give Cain and Williams a call for a private tour. We think you’re going to love this one!
