Share News:
Back in July, Karen Eubank featured this week’s Inwood Home of the Week sponsored by Inwood National Bank as her coveted Monday Morning Millionaire. That’s a big deal because Karen only picks her own properties for MMM and she only selects the best. Now that our weather is starting to resemble fall, we’re revisiting this Northaven home that’s got a price improvement.
Known for creating some of the most significant and inspired homes in Dallas, the late Cole Smith belongs in the canon of incredible American architects. Smith’s eclectic collection of designs often draws in European elements to create truly enchanted aesthetics. By working with expert craftsmen from around the world, this prolific Dallas architect ensured every detail of his work was absolutely awe-inspiring. To find one of his homes in the wild is a dream for anyone who appreciates architecture.
A Designer Retreat
This enormous four-bedroom, six-bathroom, 7,786-square-foot home appears straight from a Thomas Kincaid painting. Those who love fall and winter vibes are sure to be spellbound from the start. So, let’s take a look.
Nestled on nearly an acre of wooded, magnificently landscaped land, this cul-de-sac standout features a full outdoor oasis. With tranquil ponds, lush gardens, and a striking exterior, it immediately captures the imagination.
“This is not your typical listing,” said agent Chris Hickman with Ebby Halliday. “The whole premise has a very custom feel. It’s unassuming from the street. However, once you cross the stone bridge and koi pond out front, it’s clear how exquisite this property is. It really feels like an Aspen ski resort.”
Upon entering, a whole other world reveals itself. With warm reclaimed pine floors, natural stone, and intricate embellishments, every corner of this home is worth exploring.
Of course, a great place to start would be the great room. Here, sky-high cathedral ceilings, a handsome stone hearth, and magnificent views make for exceptional surroundings. Also, the upper balcony adds an extra element of grandiosity to this sweeping sitting area.
This home features multiple dining areas and is well-suited for entertaining of almost any type.
Then, the kitchen is an astounding culinary escape. Featuring beamed ceilings, a beautiful island, and professional-grade appliances, this is a dream domain for any home chef. Also, a charming breakfast nook opens up to a large, screened porch.
The primary suite is breathtaking in its composition. With double French doors opening to a beautiful outdoor retreat, this storybook setting is a serene escape from the everyday. Also, this room opens up to an office/study, allowing a peaceful way to work from home.
The dual ensuite bathrooms accommodate your every need. Intricate tilework, craftsman cabinetry, and ample space are features of both. We could not imagine a more elegant way to prepare for each day.
The wow factors throughout this home seem endless. Of course, the grand library and expansive gameroom are worth highlighting. However, there is also an abundance of bedrooms and gathering spaces that accommodate any type of resident.
Finally, the backyard and guest house may be the true “it factor” for this Cole Smith gem.
“This backyard is just a dream for kids and adults alike,” said Hickman. “It features a grotto, pool, turfed lawn, pickleball court, pergola, fire pits, and more. It’s just absolutely magnificent.”
Finally, the guest house could well be its own residence. Don’t be surprised to uncover a wealth of features like designated firepits, a two-car guest garage, and more.
“It’s a true guest house,” said Hickman. “It includes every convenience you could imagine. It even has its own full wine room with two wine fridges and a wine grotto.”
If you’re a fan of fabulous, custom architecture and are looking for that quintessential autumn retreat, this Cole Smith stunner is where it’s at.
Chris Hickman with Ebby Halliday lists 6174 Preston Creek Place for $3.49 million.
