Reserve your spot in an idyllic section of Old Preston Hollow that includes Rockbrook Estates, Lansdowne Estates, Sunnybrook Estates and more.
Built in 2013 by Dallas favorite Ellen Grasso & Sons, 4342 Margate Drive is a flawless traditional and an ideal home for families that are big on holidays and special occasions. Visitors will know to expect something special as they pass under the soaring columns and perfect symmetry of this traditional residence. The front entry hall’s dramatic curved staircase and wood flooring arranged in a herringbone pattern all but confirm it. Deposit gifts in the formal dining or living room, the latter taking the form of an intimate conversation nook set apart from the rest of the home and warmed by a wood-burning fireplace. There is plenty to see and do in the upstairs media and game rooms, while anyone looking for a break from the fun can seek refuge in one of two private studies and grab a drink from the wet bar arrayed in gleaming mirrored tile on the way.Guests also congregate under the covered cabana. This generously sized outdoor living room with a dedicated powder bath nearby provides plenty of room for guests, and it comes stocked with built-in barbecue grills and an outdoor fireplace so the party can continue regardless of the weather. A breakfast room opens to the cabana, creating an ideal flow for buffet-style dining or just letting in the breeze. A family room with a gas fireplace, built-ins for display and ample room for seating lies just beyond.The key to a successful party is a well-stocked kitchen, and this one does not disappoint. Dressed up in white tile and gray granite, it ‘s equipped with two Sub-Zero refrigerators, two ovens, a warming drawer, a walk-in pantry and a spacious island. A separate set of stairs in the rear of the house makes carting trays of food and refreshments an easy and nearly invisible task. A wall of cubbies by the backdoor is a must for concealing sundries and daily items such as backpacks so guests don’t see them.With three guestrooms each outfitted with en suite baths and walk-in closets, it’s easy to give everyone a comfortable place to bunk at the end of the night.Once everyone is tucked in, you can seek the sanctuary of the first-floor primary suite. The large sleeping area overlooks the pool and is attached to a spa bath decked out in cool, white marble atop dual vanities. A walk-in closet with a center island grants a special spot to each scarf, necktie and pearled string.The Old Preston Hollow neighborhood is as convenient as it is lovely. Centrally located near the Dallas North Tollway and Northwest Highway, shopping, private schools and Love Field airport, it’s one of the most accessible and beautiful neighborhoods in Dallas.
