A Highland Park Beauty Graces the Market After an Exquisite Makeover

In Highland Park, the competition for the most beautiful home is fierce. However, this renovated masterpiece may take the cake.

Listed with Shirley Cohn of Allie Beth Allman & Associates, 3832 Normandy Avenue is a property you have to see to believe. Anybody would be lucky to call the 8,897-square-foot showpiece home and now someone new can since it just hit the market.

Originally built in 2003 by Jim Shaw and designed by the renowned Richard Drummond Davis, the illustrious address has undoubtedly been an object of admiration for many who pass through the Park Cities. Gazing at the French villa-inspired exterior framed by manicured hedges and tall trees, you can’t help but gravitate towards its elegant and romantic spirit.

What outsiders may not realize is this timeless gem is more stunning than ever this year after a magazine-worthy makeover by Mills Custom Homes. The sellers thoughtfully ushered the six-bedroom beauty into its next chapter and made it feel like a brand-new home.

As you step through the custom steel front door flanked by new gas lanterns, the light-filled foyer with soaring high ceilings and a curving staircase makes a dramatic first impression. Just imagine polished servers greeting your guests at the door with champagne for holiday soirees, glamorous birthday parties, or milestone occasions like graduations or bridal showers. No matter the occasion, your friends and family can mingle in the gracious living rooms, grab hors d’oeuvres from the stylish blue bar, or pass through enchanting arched French doors to catch up on the covered patio with a fireplace.

Delightfully, this Highland Park home is just as enticing when you’re having a relaxed day as it is when you’re hosting hundreds. Picture easygoing, pajama mornings cooking with the kids in the chef’s kitchen with the smell of pancakes in the air. Its double islands, glistening new countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances create an awe-inspiring and ultra-functional backdrop for making delicious memories as a family.

Of course, no morning will be complete without quiet moments in your sophisticated primary suite. It was reconfigured in the renovation to be a total sanctuary. With a chic coffee bar newly added, heavenly closets, and a spa-like bath, it feels like its own wing of the home where you can indulge in me-time and recharge each day.

As you keep exploring the exquisite haven, there are many more spots to fall in love with and endless dazzling details to discover. For the wine collector, the new temperature-controlled wine room with a steel door may be the home’s pièce de résistance, while an interior design lover can get swept away by all the new wallpapers, tiles, hardware, and light fixtures. If privacy and practicality are your top priority, the upgraded security system and new roof are priceless perks as well.
