We’ve heard of “new year, new you,” but what about “new year, new house”? If ever there were a time to make a splurge, this is it.

Leasing for $17,000 a month, this stunner on Royal Lane will make you feel like you have arrived in style.

Five bedrooms: check. Five and one-half bathrooms: check. More than 5,000 square feet: check. Surrounded by the finer things in life in Dallas’ posh Forest Court neighborhood: check.

While sale is an option, the listing by real estate consultant Sheila C. Manriquez with Allie Beth Allman & Assoc. does not denote a price tag, so it’s a safe bet that it’s over $1 million.

All The Bells And Whistles

For $17,000 a month, you’re going to need a few perks. This home has them all.

Built by Roger Custom Homes, the price per square foot for new construction in Preston Hollow “of this caliber” is pretty incredible, according to Manriquez.

Pets are allowed, and there’s a balcony and built-in patio grill with sink for those cool spring evenings of sitting outside and watching the kids play. There’s no pool yet, but there’s certainly room to build one if you’re looking to stick around.

Now, about that attention to detail … The builder had the foresight to install double foam insulation in the front wall facing Royal Lane in order to minimize noise. How’s that for thinking ahead?

The open floor plan ensures that no one will be stepping on anyone’s toes. The large lot offers space for 10 cars, five of which are private. Wolf kitchen appliances and a huge refrigerator and gas range make the focal point of the house a great place to hang out.

The game room features a dry bar with a fridge – and if that’s not enough for you, a glass-enclosed wine cellar also is featured for the adults in the home.

Hardwood floors, European-style push-to-open cabinetry, and walk-in closets will make you say, “This is the one.”

In The Lap Of Luxury

No one gets to Preston Hollow by accident. This wealthy area of Dallas has some of the most sought-after real estate in the state, and it’s also home to many philanthropists and those doing their part to make our city a better place.

The area offers easy access to the Dallas North Tollway and Northwest Highway. If you’re a fan of beautiful homes, a quick drive down nearby Strait Lane is worth your time. Or let’s be honest, if you lease this Royal Lane home, you’re going to see some pretty amazing homes while you’re just out walking the dog.

Give yourself the gift of a new home, and schedule a tour so you can live like royalty.
