5310 Park Lane, Dallas, Texas

Description

5310 Park Lane is a singular Preston Hollow estate, treasured by three distinguished Dallas families since its completion in 1939. Believed to be the first Preston Hollow home designed by renowned Dallas architect Charles Stevens Dilbeck, it embodies his self-described “Texas Ranch House,” enriched by French Farmhouse and Eclectic Monterey influences.

Characteristically irregular, casual and asymmetrical, the residence is distinguished by white-washed brick, varied wood and leaded-glass windows, shutters, rounded roof rafters, generous overhangs and exquisite architectural detail. A dramatic arched entry opens to a gracious foyer, living and dining rooms, and a beamed informal living room with bookcases, Dilbeck brick fireplace and handsome wet bar overlooking the garden, pool and cabana.

Upstairs are the primary suite with fireplace, two baths, closets, office and balcony, plus three additional bedrooms. Beautiful hardwood floors and original fixtures enhance the interiors.

The grounds, created by legendary Dallas landscape designer Joe Lambert, Jr. in collaboration with Dilbeck, are an integral part of the property’s story. The extraordinary Shutt Garden is listed in the Smithsonian Institution Research Information System. A rare collaboration of architecture, landscape and stewardship, 5310 Park Lane offers an exceptional opportunity to carry its legacy forward.

Directions: From Northwest Highway (Loop 12), north on Meadowbrook and enter through the gate on the right just south of Park Lane.
