North Dallas Real Estate: Preston Hollow Home Filled with Richness.

DALLAS -- Few custom homes are as beautiful through their surrounding grounds as they are within. Focus on detail and amenities usually weighs heavily toward the interiors. However, at 6424 Mimosa Lane oC a Hawkins Welwood, English-styled custom with an over-the-top interior including two great

The current owner of this Preston Hollow property has spent several hundred thousand dollars creating a resort-like haven out of the rear grounds alone: five sitting areas; a swimming pool and spa; a free-standing cabana with brick walls, a stone fireplace and a flat-screen TV; a verandah with an outdoor grill; a row of 30-foot, rare Cyprus trees and multiple fountains.

"This gorgeous home may be easily expanded into six-bedrooms and six-and-a-half baths, if needed," said Ms. Nobles, a senior vice president with Briggs Freeman. "The 32-foot exercise room, which already has a full bath, has been plumbed in the event that the space is converted into two bedrooms and a bath."

The spacious foyer opens on either side to the formal rooms, each broad archway outlined by natural wood millwork, intricate and classic in design. Warm woods wrap the walls and book shelves in the living room, where a fireplace is cut into a broad stone panel extending to the beamed, vaulted ceiling above.

A center hallway leads to the great room, detailed with multiple stone columns; a beamed, trussed ceiling and a wall of windows viewing the verandah and rear grounds. Cabinetry antiqued in natural tones warms the adjoining kitchen, which features a large center island, gourmet appliances and granite counters. A charming breakfast/family dining room views the rear grounds through a wall of paned, floor-to-ceiling windows.

The first floor master bedroom offers a sitting area defined by a deep bay window. The master bath is pure luxury, with stone and marble flooring and counters. An additional bedroom and full bath are also on this floor.
