Stunning French Country Estate in Sought-After Bent Tree is a Showstopper

This Bent Tree home is a classic example of vision personified. The collaboration between a visionary owner and talented designers whose inspiring eye for detail can produce magical results. This stylish and sophisticated home is on a .59-acre lot, situated on one of the most sought-after streets in Bent Tree. 

Characterized by stone balustrades, eyebrow-arched windows, and an arched doorway, the exterior of the home showcases the distinctive features of French Country architecture. 

The exterior double doors, accompanied by two oversized antique-inspired lanterns, lead to a covered walkway and a charming private courtyard and garden. Adorned with stone pavers, blossoming trees, raised flower beds, and a tiered water fountain, this area is truly enchanting. 

As you step inside, a stunning marble-floored entryway welcomes you, complete with French doors that offer a view of the courtyard. The space also features an elegant staircase with new iron balusters and wood stair treads. 

Next to the foyer, the formal dining room resembles a grand ballroom, featuring parquet wood floors, gold-tone wallpaper ceiling detailing, a starburst chandelier, and double French doors leading to the courtyard. Double pocket doors provide access to the family room. This elegant setting is perfect for hosting an unforgettable soirée that will be the event of the year. 

After enjoying a lovely meal, unwind in the bright and spacious family room adorned with a vaulted ceiling supported by intricate wooden beams and skylights that radiate natural light. Elegant French doors and arched windows accentuate the grandeur of this room. The ornate stone mantel adds a touch of sophistication, while the convenient wet bar ensures seamless entertaining for you and your guests. 

As you walk down the light-filled hallway, you are greeted with an inviting kitchen that offers an impressive array of features. The European appliances, including a 6-burner gas range with grill and two refrigerator/freezers from Bertazzoni, are a chef’s dream.

They are complemented by the beautiful leathered-quartz surfaces, soft-close doors and drawers, and dual sinks that make cooking and cleaning a breeze. 

The fireplace and built-in banquette seating make this kitchen the perfect place to gather. There’s even seating at the island for casual meals or a quick cup of coffee. And when the weather is nice, you can open the French doors and step out onto the pool deck. But this kitchen isn’t just functional — it’s also beautiful. From the sleek stainless-steel appliances to the gorgeous finishes, every detail has been thoughtfully considered. 

A second, more casual living area, which also opens up to the courtyard, features herringbone wood floors. Other notable features include a fireplace, crown molding, a unique light fixture, and built-in desk and cabinets. 

The luxurious owner’s retreat features an ensuite spa bath with luxury fixtures and finishes and offers dual vanities, two spacious walk-in closets, a towel warmer, and a separate “shampoo” room with a salon-style sink and plenty of storage.

The gilded staircase leads to the owner’s loft which also includes built-ins and a walk-in closet with a “safe room.” 

One of the three upstairs bedrooms offers a balcony with a view of the courtyard. Completing the upstairs living space is a game room with a “mini” kitchen and a full bath. 

This property also features a delightful outdoor area, including a pool and spa. On the left, you’ll find the “Casita,” which features an interior space of 27 x 12 feet with a fireplace. The “Casita” also includes a grill and sink on one side and a fridge behind the doors. 

Located in a tight-knit community that spans the Dallas County-Collin County border and centered around Bent Tree Country Club, residents can often be seen taking leisurely walks along the tree-lined streets. 

The quality of the renovation is apparent in the superior workmanship and attention to detail, making this estate a true showstopper.
