Lux Custom Homes Does it Again: Mediterranean Transitional With a New York Vibe

There is a lot of new construction in the coveted neighborhoods of Preston Hollow, Bluffview, North Dallas and Lakewood. Much of it seems to be following the “white box” trend even as it calls itself “transitional.”

There is “transitional,” and then there is 4206 Woodfin Drive. Take a breath before you see this masterpiece.

Transitional is, by definition, a blend of traditional and modern styles — which is why it’s warmer than straight-up, stick-straight modern. Traditional architecture embraces balance and symmetry, respects proportions, and compartmentalized living spaces with a lot of wall details. Modern architecture loves sleek lines, angular dimensions, open concepts, and a minimalist aesthetic on the walls. Rooms are less divided, skewing more to the airy than defined, with a fresh-air California influence.

4206 Woodfin manages to embrace all of these concepts in one 9,655-square-foot package on a generous three-quarters of an acre lot in the heart of beautiful Bluffview. The backyard is absolutely stunning. And because Santa is coming tonight, this magnificent home has been price-tweaked just in time for the holidays.

The tone is privacy — some rooms are defined: the formal living and dining, a beautiful study/office with crossbeam ceilings in a diamond pattern and contrasting color. But there is also openness where it counts, such as the family den, open to the kitchen, a total showplace of elegance and performance with Sub Zero and Wolf appliances. A galley kitchen and walk-in pantry offer storage, vast counter space, and masking of paraphernalia. This builder is a genius at creating sleek kitchens that are totally functional.

The home, it seems, was designed with perfect pairs in mind. There’s a serving bar and a wet bar, each ideal for entertaining in its own way. Upstairs, a luxurious primary suite offers a serene retreat, while downstairs, a junior primary suite overlooks the pool, combining comfort with a stunning view. Both en suites are showstoppers, with one boasting a squared vessel tub framed by a grand marble-clad shower, the entire space sparkling in pristine white stone. With three cozy fireplaces, Santa will have his pick for a grand entrance—and with nearly 10,000 square feet under one roof, there’s more than enough room to park the sleigh and spread some holiday cheer.

Because the lot is so enormous, Dustin Smith has created a veritable resort in a home, making the most of every square foot of dirt.

First off, the outdoor kitchen patio is enormous and includes a grill, sink, refrigeration, fireplace, and flat screen TV. The area is well-shaded and cooled by ceiling fans. Nearby is the oversized pool and spa with a sunning deck. The pool deck is crisscrossed with turf that adjoins the large landscaped backyard play area.

The home has five bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bath, each of generously spacious proportions given the home’s square footage. There are eight total bathrooms, including a dedicated pool bath, and storage absolutely everywhere. In addition, here is what makes this home a true estate: there is an elevator, a gym, a home office a dedicated theater room.

On the second floor, you’ll find a spacious third living area featuring a high-top counter area with a sink, ample surface space, and a refrigerator. It’s the ultimate hangout spot for pre-teens and teens, offering room to relax, unwind, and tackle homework at the built-in workstation. Upstairs and everywhere you look is application of the best in materials and finishes. If marble is specified, it is not only utilized but applied to walls from ceiling to floor. All ceilings have interesting details, and the flooring is refreshing — a blend of white oak hardwoods with a delicate harlequin-patterned marble entry floor that sets the tone for the Haute style of the entire estate. 

Yes, estate. With three cozy fireplaces, Santa will have his pick for a grand entrance — and with nearly 10,000 square feet under one roof, there’s more than enough room to park the sleigh and spread some holiday cheer. Polished off with a gated motor court and an impressive attached five-car garage, this culmination of details makes 4206 Woodfin a privately designed and secure estate in every sense of the word. It is a serene, luxurious retreat in the heart of Preston Hollow geared up to be a complete resort or entertaining mecca at any point. And now, this estate has been reduced just for the holidays.

Listed with Allie Beth Allman’s luxury real estate specialist Juli Black, 4206 Woodfin Drive is now marketed at $7.295 million.
