Open 3 to 5 pm this Sunday: 4686 Meadowood, listed by Becky Frey, Briggs Freeman Sothebys. If you don’t know this street, you do not know where class really lives in Dallas. Beverly Drive is, well, ok. Park Lane has it’s hills and valleys. But Meadowbrook is where you really want to be once you’ve made it. We almost bought a home on this street eons ago when it was actually affordable. That puppy is now long gone and a 14,000 mansion in it’s place. Speaking of, 4686 Meadowood screams — no, whispers, Old Preston Hollow. Old World European charm is everyone plus land, 1.55 acres. Wonderful design lets you feast your eyes on the backyard once you open the front doors, lading you to the backyard, pool & private pond beyond. The environment combines to create a breathtaking blend of architecture & nature. Inside, exquiaite French finish out such as antique marble fireplaces, custom ceilings, grand master suite, and lots of space for living & entertaining. You can cancel any trips to France — besides, dollar’s not doing so well — get French country gardens right here without subjecting yourself to an 8 hour flight. You’ve got over 11,000 square feet built in 1985, all the needed rooms — seven bedrooms, 8 and a half baths, four car garage, listed for $3,700,000 which is honestly a very good deal.
