An Amazing French County Estate in Highland Park, Dallas, Texas

Take a look at this amazing classic French country estate in Preston Hollow, Dallas, Texas. Located at 9339 Hathaway Street, this home is easily my number one pick out of the whole north Dallas area. The classical style as well as the near perfect stone exterior combine to make this estate what it is.

With 10,806 sq. feet of living space, this multi-million dollar exquisite home enjoys luxury amenities from the 1.9 acres outside to the extravagant inside. Situated directly in front of the main living area entrance preceding the large iron gates is a cobblestone circle driveway finished with a large fountain in the middle creating a tranquil and calm sense. Leading to the right of the estate is the 4 car garage and motor court. The back yard enjoys a large pool with plenty of "hangout" space situated around the swimming area. A cabana and outdoor kitchen are also located near the pool area. Near the very back of the estate is a creek where a bridge, matching the stone of the house, was built.

The interior of the home is very costly yet comfortable. It includes 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, 2 family living rooms, a library, card room, wine cellar with wine tasting area, multi-seat theater, exercise room, and a marvelous grand foyer with dual staircases.

The thing I love about this home, and others in this particular area, is the symmetrical feeling to the home. You can imaginably draw a line down the center of the main living home and it would be perfect symmetrical! Very cool.

The estate is located at 9339 Hathaway Street in Preston Hollow, Dallas, Texas and is listed at $9,450,000.
