This home provides a rare opportunity to live in one of the most coveted areas in Old Preston Hollow. Nestled on the curve of Ravine Drive, the home is a stunning blend of classic traditional and modern tastes. Built in 1938, it was expanded many years later to include the Great Room, a two-story, windowed sanctuary that overlooks the diving pool and lush landscaping to effectively bring the outdoors inside. The spacious Master bedroom, located downstairs, enjoys the same pastoral view of the gardens and a fountain on the east side, and looks out on a putting green to the west. Most of the upstairs rooms have the full view out of the Great Room windows.
