When you’re booking a getaway, what kinds of things do you look for in a place to stay? Beautiful surroundings? Luxury amenities? Spa-worthy baths, private suites for everyone, and indoor-outdoor spaces that encourage — no, demand — ultimate relaxation?
With 6522 Pemberton Dr., listed by Marti Voorheis, you don’t have to endlessly scroll through booking sites or overpack a suitcase because this Preston Hollow home is the getaway. It also comes with the stellar reputation you would want in your travel accommodations, having been designed by Olivia Lilley, built by Espedal Design Construct, and styled by Traci Connell.
“It’s a custom 2021 creation that turns everyday life into a memorable 5-star experience,” said Voorheis. “You will probably even forget you’re deep in the heart of a large metropolitan area. And you certainly won’t remember that just a few years ago, this area was in the path of an EF-3 tornado.”
Let’s talk about the kitchen first. Because while nightly meals by 3-star Michelin chefs would be nice, there will be times you will want to don a toque blanche and chef’s whites yourself, even if it’s just for grilled cheeses and tomato soup.
We’re not just talking Dacor appliances and Taj Mahal quartzite countertops (although, yes, those too). This is a kitchen with a dramatic reeded island that feels more like a piece of art than a prep station, and there’s a service pantry that could double as a small apartment. And if you ever feel guilty about that last glass of cabernet? Just blame it on the wine room, a glass-framed showpiece that dares you not to open a bottle.
The living spaces are designed with the kind of flow that makes parties extra easy-going and Mondays feel like Fridays. A foyer bar greets guests with a wink. Walls of glass dissolve into the backyard, where the pool sparkles, fire features flicker, and lounge chairs beg you to cancel your weekend travel plans because — oh, yeah! — you already live at the resort.
Inside, every room has personality. Zoom calls from your glass-walled office will have people asking where to find that virtual background that’s not virtual. The living room pairs 13-foot ceilings with a modern fireplace that’s equal parts drama and warmth. And upstairs, each bedroom is its own boutique suite, complete with walk-in closets, ensuite baths, and just enough quirk (think lofts and window seats) to keep it interesting.
And the primary suite? It includes Phillip Jeffries wallpaper that whispers “grown-up sophistication,” a spa-inspired bath where soaking tubs and sunlight compete for your attention, and direct pool access.
“This home is luxury without the attitude. It’s elegant, yes — but it’s also fun, comfortable and completely livable,” said Voorheis.
That’s really the secret here. Yes, it’s a 6,771-square-foot showstopper with all the bells and whistles (home automation for lights, shades, music, climate, and security included). But it’s also a home where you can kick off your shoes, binge-watch your favorite series, or host a backyard pool party that ends with s’mores by the fire.
6522 Pemberton Dr. is that trip of a lifetime we all dream of that we wish would last forever. And whether you end up living here or not, you owe it to yourself to at least plan a visit. Marti is waiting to show you, so be sure to stop by the open house today from 1 to 3 PM or reach out at 214-870-6864 | [email protected].
