French-inspired stone manor

This is the perfect custom home with all the designer touches you would have built yourself if you had a huge corner lot in Preston Hollow and no expenses spared.

The no-reserve auction will take place at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 20, with final preview on Friday, July 19 1-4 p.m. Visit EliteAuctions.com/6507-lakehurst-dallas for pre-registration instructions and more photos.

Alicia Chmielewski, Elite Auctions Market Director tells us architect Don Caperton designed this magnificent French-inspired stone manor near Preston Hollow Elementary at Hillcrest and Walnut Hill for the sellers’ entertaining needs, so this home has seen several fabulous parties for holidays and events, as well as family gatherings through the years.

The 2002-built property by Encore Homes took two years to build, largely because of the numerous custom touches that are honestly pretty hard to find these days. For example, the entire home exterior is constructed of stone, not just the front and sides as you’ll commonly see. That’s a lot of stonework for a nearly 8,000-square-foot home on .389 acres. A limestone fountain graces the front circular drive that’s flanked by a pair of gas lanterns at the entry.

Inside you’ll find an impressive 7-foot Schonbek Swarovski-crystal chandelier with a genuine gold-leaf dome perched above the Italian marble foyer and custom floating iron staircase.

The formal dining room has plantation shutters and leaded glass doors that open to the bar/butler’s area and newly remodeled kitchen with brand new cabinetry, premium stainless steel appliances, and a built-in Miele coffee bar.

Overhead lighting in the living room’s long domed ceiling really adds drama to the open space for entertaining. Four sets of French doors lead to the equally dramatic 38-foot long covered loggia and veranda, featuring two entertaining areas, fireplace, outdoor kitchen, tranquil fountain, and meticulously landscaped gardens.

The downstairs master has a full marble slab bath, standalone shower, and opulent French country vanities with chandelier sconce lighting.

Upstairs are two generously sized bedrooms with ensuite baths, a game room, and media room.

The market listing price with Allie Beth Allman’s Clark Landry is $2.7 million and has been listed for as much as $2.99 million in the past. This is an impeccably maintained home that’s ready for a north Dallas family to move in; close to shopping, schools, and dining.
