Description

A reimagined countryside retreat with a German smear brick facade and arched glass, the Stonecroft by Catena Homes is a newly constructed residence in the estate section of Preston Hollow, Dallas. A study in restraint, every material, sightline, and proportion was chosen with intention, not trend. With architecture by Briggs Architecture and Design and interiors by Sees Design, the home reflects a signature point of view: timeless architecture, honest materials, and spaces designed to be lived in for generations, not just photographed once. A two-story great room anchors the home, framed by a hand-laid marble fireplace, oversized Kolbe windows and doors opening to the rear loggia, and millwork-paneled walls rising to 23' ceilings, formal enough to entertain, warm enough to live in daily. The kitchen displays a 78'' L'Atelier Paris range, a full riftsawn white oak cabinetry suite, and a book-matched marble island long enough to seat the whole family, with an adjoining banquette keeping the space connected to the great room. The primary suite delivers a true spa moment: a freestanding soaking tub beneath a full-height marble steam shower wall framed in brass, dual vanities, and natural light from oversized windows on either side. A dedicated wellness wing with home gym and built-in Salus Sauna brings a hospitality-grade recovery ritual into daily life, a feature more often found in five-star resorts than residences. A color-drenched library, finished in deep forest green from ceiling to millwork, offers a private retreat with its own fireplace, custom bar, and floor-to-ceiling shelving. Outside, the rear elevation opens to a covered loggia, lounge-ready pool, and mature landscaping, a backyard built for entertaining at any scale.
