This Preston Hollow Spanish Revival Estate is Worthy of a TV Series

Realtors and creative directors both know location matters and a great estate is integral to the storyline. If you’ve ever wanted a home that could be featured in a TV series, this Preston Hollow Spanish Revival estate certainly has star quality. 

Last winter we all fell for Apple TV’s series Palm Royale. The dramedy was set in Palm Beach, Fla., and the fictional Palm Royale Country Club was a leading character. The club was actually a combination of the 1926 Bath & Tennis Club in Palm Beach and the 1927 Bel-Air Bay Club. 

Perhaps they should have simply come to Dallas.

With a signature tiled roof, creamy plaster walls, dramatic balconies, sun-washed blue shutters, and graceful arched windows and doors, this Spanish Revival would have served Palm Royale producers beautifully. 

The interior offers traditional Spanish Revival elements like exposed wood beams, tiled floors, and some of the more impressive ceiling treatments available to architects. The gallery-style foyer sets expectations with limestone floors, a vaulted and beamed ceiling, and a dramatic sweeping staircase (what a perfect location for the final scene with poor Agnes)!

Formal living areas are essential in film and television, and these spaces must be grand. It’s hard to imagine anything more spectacular than the barrel-vaulted ribbed ceiling in this formal living room and the pale blue dining room with a ribbed groin vaulted ceiling. Of course, the Palm Royale ladies would be right at home gliding through the French doors in these rooms with cocktails in hand to greet new arrivals in the front courtyard!

So while a location scout may reach out to have this Spanish Revival estate in an upcoming series, it’s still a home. There is plenty of casual space to unwind inside this 12,321-square-foot home. The family area’s vaulted and wood-beamed ceilings and grand fireplace flanked by built-ins create a cozy feeling despite the considerable size of this room.  French doors at the end open to the ultimate scene stealer, over an acre of beautiful grounds designed by Harold Leidner Landscape Architects.

Yes, this Old Preston Hollow Spanish Revival is a home, but it’s also a lifestyle and, of course, a potential movie star!
