5431 Edlen Drive

Dallas, Texas 75220

Designed by Richard Drummond Davis and built by Randy Hughes, 5431 Edlen Drive draws from the language of the French countryside - its steeply pitched slate roof, limestone details, and herringbone floors reminiscent of a chateau shaped by generations. The owners and architect selected the materials themselves during their many trips to France together. The arrival follows through on that particular significance: a gated circular drive canopied by mature Magnolia trees, a stone-clad front door, and porte-cochere with a discreet entry. Inside, the scale is generous. The family room opens wide, a breakfast nook complements the formal dining room, and the music room - an octagonal bay wrapped in windows - revives the kind of dinner party that ends with someone at the piano. The kitchen anchors daily life with a stainless steel island, exposed beams, custom vent hood, and dedicated wine storage. The old world-inspired library serves as the home's most distinguished focal point. Two stories of hand-crafted millwork draw the eye upward to the chandelier, with shelves climbing to a mezzanine accessible only by an iron spiral staircase. This is the moment the house reveals its full ambition. Upstairs, find a primary suite with a private balcony, his-and-hers closets and lavatories, and three generously sized en-suite bedrooms. The playroom, media room, and balcony round out the second level. A fourth bedroom suite sits on the main floor for added convenience. Four fireplaces warm the rooms that matter most: the family room, library, primary suite, and pool house. Set on a full acre corner lot, the pool house with its own powder room and wet bar ensures afternoons by the pool remain outside. Positioned in Preston Hollow and only minutes from Preston Center, NorthPark, and the energy of the Park Cities, 5431 Edlen Drive was built to last.
