Nestled on one of the most coveted lots in all of Preston Hollow, in the heart of estate country, this commanding white-columned Colonial revival estate personifies gracious living. Built in 1935, the 7,543 square foot estate offers three master bedroom suites, including one on the first floor, a total of five bedrooms, six full and four half baths, formals, a library/study, large hobby room, a keeping room, guest quarters and a pool and spa.No other home proves that historical construction is often superior like 4907 Deloache. From the plaster walls, the solid hardwood oak floors, the brick construction, hand-crafted millwork and the slate roof replaced in 2013, you are getting the best of Pre-War era craftsmanship in a custom-built home that was tastefully updated and expanded. The estate rests on a prime corner lot of 1.6 acres with towering hardwood trees and offers the potential for so much more: tennis court, sport court or golfing green.The very first owner who commissioned the house to be built, Virginia Hamm, was president of the Dallas Garden Club and an avid gardener. 4907 Deloache was built by Mr. & Mrs. Dow Hamm, an executive vice president of the Atlantic Richfield Company. The interior was by Ceil Williams, a sought-after name in Dallas interior design, circa 1962, and contemporary of John Astin Perkins.Drive through the impressive gates to a horse-shoe driveway.
