3606 Saint Johns, Highland Park, Texas

Description

This unique gem of a house is on a rare .766 acre lot with Hackberry Park and the creek for neighbors. Built in 1973, taken to the studs for a thoughtful rejuvenation in 2015, everything is top quality, and made for entertaining. The large walls can accommodate a burgeoning art collection and the windows and Crittall black steel French doors provide beautiful natural light, and make it easy to drink in the spectacular views. There are four fireplaces downstairs- one is on the front patio and another is surrounded by bookshelves in the dining room that easily seats 12. The living room has a wetbar in addition to the third fireplace and windows. Both the dining room and living room have doors opening to a patio overlooking more park space. The marble kitchen could accommodate a professional chef (and staff). The pantry-service kitchen houses the double SubZero refrigerator freezer, plus a wine cooler, pantry and counter space. The breakfast room, cloaked in Fortuny wallpaper and draperies, opens to the kitchen, and also has views of the creek and tennis court. The family room, painted a gleaming lapis blue has the fourth fireplace and lots of built ins and still more windows. All four en suite bedrooms are upstairs as is the laundry room. The primary suite with its vaulted ceiling hosts the fifth fireplace flanked by window doors leading to a balcony overlooking the creek. Just off the primary bedroom is a cozy office with built in desk. There is no shortage of closet space and separate vanities share the bath and shower space. You have to see the house in person to appreciate the quality of every detail, and imagine how well it works in every day life as well as spoiling your guests.

Directions: Turn north on Saint Johns off of Beverly. The house will be on your left just before Byron.
