Set gracefully on a corner lot, this extraordinary custom home presents a rare opportunity to reimagine one of the area’s most unique luxury homes. Built with exquisite craftsmanship and last updated in 2001, this home offers a bold canvas for those with a vision for modern refinement. The interior offers timeless architectural features that exude sophistication: soaring ceilings, dramatic curved staircase, oak hardwood floors, circular skylight, marble fireplace and a gorgeous etched entryway window. Designed for entertaining, the expansive first floor offers a seamless flow for large gatherings. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a private living room, fireplace, dual walk-in closets and an enormous 20x18 bathroom. 2nd stairway leads to a private guest suite, and 3rd stairway leads to a large floored attic. Plus, 2 more ensuite bedrooms upstairs. The game-media room will be the social hub of the house, complete with a full bar area. Abundant storage throughout: huge flex room upstairs, cedar closet, silver closet and a secure safe room. Outside find a quiet, private patio and sparkling pool, retiled & replastered Dec '24. Dedicated pool bath just off the patio. 3 HVAC units, 3 water heaters (2022) and central vac system. This home has an interesting history, being previously owned by W. Marvin Watson who worked at the White House as the unofficial Chief of Staff and most trusted advisor to President LBJ, and later appointed US Postmaster General by LBJ in 1968. The security gate & safe room are likely due to Watson's high profile status. Glen Lakes is known as one of Dallas' finest gated and guarded communities, offering a community pool, tennis-pickelball courts, lighted walking paths, 24 hr security, picturesque lakes and more. Don’t miss your chance to own a legacy property with infinite potential to become one of the most stunning modern estates in the area. Bring your visionary design ideas and come see this wonderfully unique home today.
