Property Description
Start making memories in this stunning showplace in Highland Park. The house behind the hedges at 3500 Dartmouth Avenue offers a world of possibilities for gracious, elegant living. It delivers both a grand statement for entertaining and the irresistible charm of a family’s dream house. Set on a sought-after wide corner lot at 99-feet x 150-feet in an ideal location, the property is a golf cart jaunt to the Dallas Country Club and a five-block sprint to the Katy Trail. A custom manse built in 2005 by Hawkins-Welwood, the house is in pristine condition and loaded with wow factors. The sweeping spaces, bespoke details and French influences are signatures of renowned architect Robbie Fusch, whose chateaus and manors are praised in Highland Park and Preston Hollow. Sophisticated interiors glow under the tasteful hand of HGTV Design Star winner Leslie Christine Ezelle. The front doors open from a lush, secluded garden to a grand entrance with curving staircase and elegant formals replete with parquetry floors, extensive millwork, handsome wooden paneling and arched doorways. Next, step into an inviting living area suffused with natural light and beamed ceilings. Multiple sets of double doors open to patios and a backyard with a pool surrounded by soothing fountains, an outdoor cooking space, dining and entertaining areas, putting green for golf and a cast stone fireplace for evening nightcaps. Each portal has French-style screen doors for that ultimate European vacation vibe. Even the pooch lives in luxury with a climate-controlled cabin and dog run! A sturdy stone wall allows for privacy and encourages everything from teen hangouts and toddler tea parties to alfresco pours and buzzy soirées. Art walls create interior gallery spaces, and a wet bar and keeping room with fireplace allow for intimate moments over coffee or cocktails. Embrace the bustle in an open-concept great hall with vaulted ceilings and a chef’s kitchen, including two dishwashers and Viking, Sub-Zero and Miele appliances plus casual dining spaces. Even the workhorse areas shine: a breakfast nook does triple duty as a catering command center or student work area and a ground floor laundry room connects to a mudroom that keeps shoes, boots and sports gear tidy. A pool bath offers towels, toy storage and changing space to maximize enjoyment of the water and gardens. The second floor, reachable by dual staircases or an elevator, introduces the house’s center for refuge and relaxation, with five bedrooms, including apartment quarters with a living area and fridge for visitors, nannies or household staff. The elegant primary suite has its own wing on the property’s east side, with views that face majestic trees and nourish a feeling of oasis. A wraparound loggia invites curling up with a book, sipping wine on a summer night or morning coffee with birdsong. An indulgent spa bath features dual closets, vanities, jetted tub and double shower. The back staircase leads to a landing loft with a wet bar that can be a lounge or game room with balcony access overlooking the pool and putting green. A second laundry room means no one needs to travel far with bundles of washables. With ample storage, built-in cabinetry and lighted surface space, the room doubles as a gift center or craft studio. The finishing touch is a third-floor loft bunkroom or playroom, an airy, light space with a sloping ceiling, walk-in closet and full bath. Keyed access to the roomy attic reveals space for holiday décor, files or possible expansion. The magic happens in this gorgeous home with a central location and access to Highland Park schools, convenience to SMU, exclusive shopping and the hottest restaurants. Or hop on I-75 or the Dallas North Tollway for quick trips to downtown Dallas, the Arts District, Plano and the rest of DFW. From inviting exteriors to expansive interiors, 3500 Dartmouth Avenue is a canvas for lu
