Ventura Custom Homes Offers a New Vibe in Old Preston Hollow

We are always intrigued by what Ventura Custom Homes builds, and this magnificent Old Preston Hollow mansion exceeds expectations on every level.

Compass Realtor Christy Berry let me know this 9,494-square-foot estate was going to be listed last Friday. I was immediately intrigued.

First of all, everyone loves Old Preston Hollow, so finding a flawless, move-in-ready home here is a lot like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack. It’s where you want to live when you need a bit more space than what the Park Cities offers.

The old saying that the customer is always right really rings true here. Berry sent me a sneak peek, and I immediately thought it had just been completed. But no, this magnificent Old Preston Hollow estate was custom-built in 2013. You’d never suspect and it’s all because of a smart and talented client.

From the double kitchen islands that are a necessity today to the floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open onto the electronically screened porch overlooking the oversized pool, everything is absolutely spot-on for 2024.

“Our client has exquisite taste,” Ventura Custom Homes Shideh Lowary said. “She is meticulous, and every inch of the house is perfect. She was so ahead of trends that everything is current for today’s market.”

You know you have a great builder when the plans are done, the house is designed, and then the client has a vision. Most builders would break into a sweat and head for the Tito’s (I know I would!) However, Ventura saw it as a collaborative opportunity.

“As a builder, we are always trying to be ahead of everyone else,” Lowray said. “Our client was passionate about design and we just started over from scratch. I think this is the most perfect home we have ever built as far as aesthetics and flow. Every inch was thought out. I appreciate a customer like this because we are always in search of excellence. We like to build Picassos!”

And yes, the Lowarys are still friends with their clients!

Berry has 5915 Desco Drive available for $9.49 million.
