Ever wandered into a home and immediately felt like you’d slipped away to a luxury resort? That’s exactly the vibe happening at this new Crespi Estates gem in Dallas. Nestled behind the gates in Preston Hollow, this five-bedroom, nine-bath masterpiece sprawls across nearly two private acres and more than 11,900 square feet of pure architectural beauty.
Designed by SHM Architects with interiors by Brant McFarlain, the house marries crisp modern lines with cozy, natural textures—every inch inviting you to linger longer. Let’s walk through the highlights that make this one of those rare homes that feels as good as a five-star vacation.
1. Fire Pit Evenings on a Stone Paver Patio
Picture dusk settling in as a softly glowing white bowl fire pit casts a warm, welcoming light onto the carefully sculpted lawn. Around it, the house’s white stucco façade meets sleek dark gray metal siding, topped off by windows that shine like lanterns in the evening. Down below, a rugged stone retaining wall draws the eye while a gentle water feature whispers nearby, grounding the scene with a calming soundtrack. It’s the kind of outdoor space that has friends lingering long after sunset, wrapped in the feel of a private slice of a vacation resort.
2. Grand Entry with Sculpted Wood Drama
Step inside and the soaring ceiling paired with tall white walls immediately opens up the space like a breezy getaway lodge. A bold, dark wood pivot door makes a striking first impression, while a slender, sweeping black metal staircase wraps upward gracefully. Taupe leather chairs gather around a wood dining table that feels timeless but effortlessly modern. Everything here balances big statement pieces with pared-back details, creating a striking yet inviting arrival.
3. Vaulted Ceilings Bathed in Light
There’s something about vast vaulted ceilings that transforms a room from ordinary to extraordinary—it’s like the house is breathing. Here, crisp white walls flood with sunlight pouring through black-framed glass doors, inviting the outdoors in. Taupe sofas and soft blue pillows add just the right breath of calm, while a sleek black coffee table grounds the airy space with a pinch of modern sophistication. It’s the perfect chill zone after a day in Dallas’s sunshine.
4. Matte Black Meets Warm Brass Glow
Moving to the dining area, a long matte black table commands attention, perfectly surrounded by white chairs with wooden legs that soften the mood. Above, brass pendant lights with geometric edges add a layer of warmth and personality that spark conversation. The kitchen island’s gray-and-white marble-look surface mirrors the backsplash, blending elegance with a hint of edge. This is a space that lifts everyday meals into moments worth savoring.
5. Moody Kitchen Contrast with Marble Flair
If kitchens could speak, this one would whisper luxury. Charcoal shaker cabinets frame a white marble island veined with dramatic patterns, creating a moody, sophisticated stage for cooking up your next dinner party. The dining corner adds texture with an ivory jute rug and a dark wood table, while gold touches on the stools and chandelier infuse subtle glamour without shouting. It’s all about that beautiful balance between raw materials and precious accents.

6. Bedroom Serenity in White and Walnut
Bedrooms often set the tone for relaxation, and this one knows how to keep it serene. Fresh white walls and ceilings act like a soft canvas for deep walnut floors that bring richness underfoot. Floor-to-ceiling black-framed windows blur the boundary between inside and out, filling the room with natural light and an instant connection to the green lawn just beyond. The artful black-and-white canvas above the dark wood console keeps things sleek, while textured gray bedding and a woven runner add just enough softness.
7. Spa-Worthy Bathroom with Green Marble Drama
Is it a bathroom or an art installation? This glass-enclosed shower steals the show, featuring large green-veined marble slabs that feel like an elegant forest hiding behind clear walls. White shaker doors and black hardware on the cabinetry provide crisp contrast, while a freestanding soaking tub on a jute rug begs for lazy, luxurious soaks. A statement pendant with a dark patterned shade spills light softly across the stone, turning morning routines into spa moments.
8. Cozy Bouclé and Organic Hide Rugs
Imagine sinking into plush off-white boucle chairs that wrap around you like a cloud, resting on a vast cowhide rug with warm, earthy tones. The dark wood floors anchor the room’s natural vibe while paneled white walls set a calm backdrop. Metallic tones in the abstract canvas above add a whisper of glam, balancing texture with sophistication. It’s a cozy corner designed to make you pause, unwind, and dive into an engrossing book (or a long chat).
9. Covered Cedar Lounge Overlooking Stone Terrace
Outside again, this covered patio is pure resort magic. A warm cedar plank ceiling blends seamlessly with expansive gray stone pavers, while cream woven sling chairs gather around on a natural jute rug, inviting easy conversation. Nearby, a sleek pool shimmers under a sky framed by black ceiling fans and dark structural beams. The lush lawn stretches beyond, making this spot the kind of place where weekend mornings feel endless and perfect.
10. Reflecting Pool and Emerald Green Calm
Last, the courtyard’s long rectangular reflecting pool mirrors a soft pink and lavender twilight sky. Flanked by white stucco walls on either side, large black-framed windows glow warmly, hinting at life inside. Thick emerald green turf flanks the water and draws eyes toward the distant treeline. A small fountain gently ripples at the pool’s center, adding just a touch of motion to this serene, perfectly composed outdoor room. It’s tranquility captured in stone, water, and light.
Final Thoughts
If Dallas living ever looked like a postcard, this Crespi Estates home is it—a rare blend of elegant design and calming resort-style touches. Priced just shy of $15 million and ready for new owners in 2025, it practically begs the question: which space would you claim first? The firelit patio, the soaring living room, or maybe that spa-ready bathroom? Whichever it is, this estate proves that home can absolutely feel like the getaway.
