Great art demands an equally great space for its display. Which is why art connoisseurs will find this impressive, newly listed traditional-meets-transitional stunner so appealing. The 6,931-square-foot Preston Hollow manse is designed to showcase collector-worthy pieces of art, allowing the paintings, sculptures, and more to dictate the flow of space.
“The owners wanted to display their artwork without understating or overwhelming it,” says Compass listing agent Mark Cain. Along with ample wall space, there’s built-ins and alcoves throughout, allowing individual pieces to shine.
Along with being an amazing art house, the property is also an entertainer’s dream. Exceptionally built by Steve Roberts, a spacious foyer leads to the first of three living spaces. Anchored by a pair of columns, it features floor-to-ceiling windows and one of the home’s three fireplaces. Soaring ceilings and refinished hardwoods — here, and throughout the first floor — add to the allure.
A Realtor’s Preview of the home is scheduled for Thursday, November 5th, from 2 to 4 p.m.
To the right of the entryway, a comfortable dining room sports decorative lighting. A wall of windows open up to a light-filled atrium. To the left, there’s a cozy den that could double as a library.
“The owners did a great job updating the home,” says Taylor Cousins, a co-listing agent and associate with the Mark Cain Properties Group.
“It’s spacious, yet has a warm, welcoming feel.”
Adds Mark, “It’s open, but offers compartmentalization for privacy.”
The expansive gourmet kitchen features an eat-in breakfast area, Sub-Zero and Thermador appliances, marble countertops, and oversized island. From there, wander back to the home’s second living area. Wood-beamed ceilings, walls, and cabinetry create an inviting ambience; floor-to-ceiling windows provide a bright, airy feel.
Down a hallway, the large downstairs primary suite has a sizable bedroom area, updated bath, dressing area, and walk-in/cedar closet. Also downstairs: one of two laundry rooms and an abundance of storage space.
Up the commanding winding staircase, there’s four additional bedrooms, four baths, and second laundry area plus an office and a media/game room.
Outside, the backyard is a beautifully-landscaped, private oasis, complete with sparkling pool, spa, built-in grill, and large patio. And what could be more covet-worthy than the tranquil, Zen-like rock garden!?
A prime location on Glendora Avenue is yet another selling point. The curb- and sidewalk-less street has a countrylike appeal in the heart of Preston Hollow. The home sits on a .034-acre lot.
Listing price for 6026 Glendora is $2.195 million. For more information, contact Compass listing agents Mark Cain or Taylor Cousins.
