5205 Park Lane

Description

Commanding 2.3 acres at the distinguished corner of Park Lane and Ravine in Preston Hollow, this rare first offering captures the homeowner’s vision crafted by Richard Drummond Davis Architects. Shaped by the landscape architecture of Naud Burnett, a sweeping drive emerges beneath a canopy of mature live oaks, leading to a composed flagstone approach. Spanning 11,331 square feet, the residence reveals a refined interplay of limestone, rich walnut, and storied European elements. An iron front door, drawn from the grandeur of a private Roman estate, opens to interiors defined by French-sourced mantles and 19th-century doors, each detail a considered acquisition. A paneled library with wet bar opens to the gardens, while the formal dining room, wrapped in imported paneling and mirrored accents, reflects a sense of enduring elegance. Living and family rooms extend seamlessly to the covered veranda, dissolving the boundary between interior and landscape. The kitchen offers warm wood cabinetry, and a substantial stone island, supported by a fully appointed butler’s pantry. A climate-controlled wine room holds more than 5,000 bottles, while the outdoor kitchen continues the experience with a wood-burning oven and open-fire cooking. The primary suite unfolds as a private retreat with sitting area, dedicated dressing room, bespoke built-ins, coffee bar, and balcony overlooking the grounds. Dual baths and expansive custom closets complete the space. Three additional ensuite bedrooms, along with a fitness room, craft room, and staff office, complete the upper level. The stunning veranda opens to the expansive lawn designed for entertaining at any scale. A quatrefoil-shaped pool, cabana with kitchenette and bath, winding stone pathways, and composed garden rooms complete this private estate—one of Preston Hollow’s most distinguished offerings.
