A Lucas Luxury Custom Home With Every Amenity
Share News:
Every day, I hear about someone moving to Lucas, Texas. I’m not at all surprised that people have finally figured out this is one of the best places to live in the state. It’s only 30 miles from Dallas, next to all the amenities of Lavon Lake, and is served by the superb Lovejoy ISD. It’s an ideal community. Now you just need a Lucas luxury custom home. Fortunately, we’ve found one!
One of the many fantastic things about life in Lucas is that there is enough land to have a large home but still maintain plenty of privacy. This Lucas luxury custom home was built on a 3.42-acre lot. The rear of the house overlooks a tranquil pond that backs up to a tree-lined, meandering creek, ensuring not only privacy but also security.
Built by Tony Prutch, the owner of Homes By J. Anthony, no detail was overlooked. Prutch has over 30 years of experience in the industry, and his company has won the state awards of “Home Builder of the Year” and “Home of the Year” twice — so you know this residence features the highest level of craftsmanship.
The 6,533-square-foot, four-bedroom, six-bathroom home is set in a verdant landscape with the front entrance flanked by a courtyard and a covered porch. It was designed to take advantage of the views of the beautiful backyard, pool, and pond, offering an immediate connection to the outdoors.
A two-story gallery leads to the great room with vaulted and beamed ceilings anchored by a stacked stone fireplace. A wall of floor-to-ceiling glass doors fully retracts, allowing for a seamless blend of outdoor and indoor living.
The open floor plan creates a continuous flow to the kitchen, which features gorgeous Blue Fusion Quartzite on the island and countertops. Everything you can imagine has been included here, from a commercial-grade range with two ovens, six burners, and a griddle to two dishwashers and a warming drawer. You will also find a microwave, an ice maker, and an under-counter wine cooler.
Of course, there is a gorgeous primary suite with a beautiful groin vault ceiling. This opens directly into a private study with floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinetry overlooking the backyard. There are three additional ensuite bedrooms on this level.
A massive exercise room opens to a private patio and leads down a set of stairs to one of the most sensible and creative design aspects of this Lucas luxury custom home. A 500-square-foot media room was created in the basement. It’s equipped with a Sony 4K projector, a 160-inch-wide screen, and an in-wall theater sound system. There is seating for 13 that includes eight reclining movie loungers and space for five at the bar top. The practicality of this design is that the media room also acts as a tornado shelter. With a whole-house generator, this home is ready for any extreme weather event!
The current owners have installed a ground-based solar system, resulting in significant monthly power savings. These savings cover the costs of monthly pool maintenance, landscape services, natural gas, heating and air conditioning, a preventative maintenance program, and part of the monthly homeowner insurance premium. It’s a little over a hundred dollars a month for four HVAC units, six refrigerators, two freezers, and three pool pumps, making this property not only luxurious but also energy-efficient.
Outdoor living has become an art in Texas, and this Lucas luxury custom home has a multitude of outdoor entertainment areas. Not only do you have the unique front courtyard with a fireplace where you can immediately greet your guests for intimate gatherings, but you also have amazing backyard options.
There are not just one but two large covered patios with motorized screens, ceiling fans, outdoor TVs, fireplaces, and built-in infrared heaters. There is also an outdoor kitchen with a Blaze built-in grill and a Summit refrigerator. A private covered hot tub patio with motorized screens will be your favorite place to unwind each day.
Gather around the fire pit every evening and take a dip in the large pool, which comes with all kinds of features. The yard is designed for both relaxation and entertainment. When you have this much land, there is no end to the advantages. One of the unexpected amenities is the raised garden beds, allowing for a true garden-to-table dining experience.
This Lucas luxury custom home truly offers the best of all worlds: a gorgeous, thoughtfully designed, private family home with endless entertaining opportunities.
