Geoffrey Grant Modern Masterpiece Lands A Spot On Luxury Lease Wish List
Share News:
Dear Santa,
For Christmas this year I would like a six-bedroom, $2.5 million mansion with an amazing chef’s kitchen and all the accoutrements a girl could dream of.
I’d prefer that my beautiful mansion be in the upscale Preston Hollow neighborhood of Dallas.
I promise to keep the Anne Saks tile clean in each of the six and-a-half bathrooms.
I’ve been good this year, Santa, and I’d like to share my beautiful new home by throwing lavish parties and charity events.
Love,
April
The letter to Santa is certainly worth a try, but if that doesn’t work, the home at 6323 Meadow Drive can actually be yours for $19,900 a month. Pricey, yes, but have you seen the pictures? This is 7,123 square feet of exquisite craftsmanship. It’s modern. It’s clean. It’s lavish. Everything in it is top of the line.
Built in 2007 by Geoffrey Grant Custom Homes, the modern/contemporary exterior doesn’t do justice of what’s inside this gift-wrapped package. The high-end designer finishes throughout show great attention to detail.
The kitchen has European Bulthaup kitchen cabinets, Viking Professional Series dual ovens, European refrigerators, and Premium Series dual dishwashers.
Maple floors, a multi-head European walk-in shower in the master, and beverage centers in the master bedroom and media room round out any possible item on your checklist that you could possibly want in your dream home. A downstairs playroom could also be used as a sixth bedroom.
Of course, the location is killer.
If you’ve been in Dallas for more than a minute, you’ve heard of Preston Hollow. Adjacent to the city of University Park, the area once was farmland, but when developer Ira DeLoache built a Dilbeck-designed Tudor home in the area, the doctors, lawyers, and entrepreneurs came running to what is now one of the premier “old money” areas to live in the city, if not the state.
It was incorporated as a municipality in 1939 and is home to St. Mark’s School of Texas, a preparatory school for boys on Preston Road. Although an October tornado destroyed the school gym and damaged other buildings, they quickly rebuilt and are back in business. The area also is zoned for Dallas ISD schools and has close proximity to all the finer things in Dallas.
So, come on, Santa, what do you say?
Ana Padros of Dave Perry-Miller – Park Cities is leasing this Geoffrey Grant custom home at 6323 Meadow Road, Dallas, for $19,900 per month.

I cannot let the part about the post-tornado status of St Marks’ campus go unchecked. While it is true that the school itself is open and back in business, your statement that the school “quickly rebuilt” is nothing short of either false news or an outright lie depending on your reporting skills (did you not verify the current state of the school? Or you knew and just made up a lie?). There are tarps on multiple structures on campus and the gym still sits in tatters.
As is the state of most of the neighborhood immediately surrounding St Marks and in the entire 16 mile path of this vicious tornado. There is no “quick” rebuilding; it’s going to take 18-24 months before we have our neighborhood back and a good 30 years before the beautiful trees grow again.
Thanks for your perspective, PHmama. I think that the writer here was accurate in that it will be quickly rebuilt, but it’s widely known that even the fastest and most judicious construction crews can’t fix things in less than two months, which is how long it has been since the tornado. So yes, the school will be quickly rebuilt, though “quick” is never fast enough for some people.
The writer used past tense, writing “they quickly rebuilt”. Past tense indicates it already happened. That is not true. Probably just sloppy proofreading as is too common in the digital age.
I have no doubt that St Marks will rebuild as quickly as possible, but that’s a future activity – not in the past.
