Homes built here in the late ‘90s and early 2000s often took on the Tuscan aesthetic. In recent years, terra cotta colors, ornate archways and mosaic tiles have been remodeled or built anew with a contemporary look of muted whites and grays and angular clean lines throughout. However, the architecture and design at 5513 Montclair Drive in Colleyville is timelessly Tuscan and remains in its original form from its 2011 construction. Listed for $8,250,000, this 11,530-square-foot estate unapologetically enlists all the grandeur of its era across its 2-acre lot.
Beaming With Luxury
Upon entering the front gate, you can’t help but notice the signature tiled fountain and expansive clay-tiled roofscape capped with an ornate copper dome reminiscent of magnificent structures of the period. Once inside, the six-bedroom, six-and-a-half bathroom masterpiece continues to impress from its hand-scraped wood floors to its expertly-crafted exposed beam ceilings.
One can’t help but feel like royalty traversing grand arched walkways accompanied by Tuscan columns and adorned with stained glass windows throughout. In fact, every one of the bedrooms is “master worthy” and comes complete with boutique custom closets, while the bathrooms are just as exquisite right down to their travertine floors.
Wine And Dine
Mealtime at this culinary marvel has also been master planned with three full kitchens, a summer kitchen and a well-appointed stained glass wine grotto with storage for 180 bottles of your favorite Barolo or Montepulciano vintages. Meals can be enjoyed beneath exquisite chandeliers at a casual dining table for eight in the oversized kitchen or in the formal dining room that boasts unencumbered backyard views.
After dinner, enjoy the lush outdoor oasis where travertine tiles outline a magnificent pool bookended by flowing water features. Or make your way to the game room or the award-winning projection theater that is so beautiful, it's a shame to turn the lights down.
Some homes are so classic in style and taste that they should never be remodeled. This Colleyville masterpiece is one of them.
