The 8,000-plus-square-foot home at 3830 Windsor is nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac on a heavily treed, one-and-a-half-acre lot.

   
         
    Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty agent Ellen Terry has listed the gracious estate at 3830 Windsor Lane. Loaded with southern charm, the 8,000-plus-square-foot home is nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a heavily treed, one-and-a-half-acre lot on the banks of Turtle Creek – all of this right in the heart of the Park Cities. The home is listed at $8,995,000.    
         
    Built in 1955, this home’s impressive pedigree begins with the vision of its original owner, the late Mary Frances Yancey, one of Dallas’s premier decorators and art dealers. She brought her passion for architecture and plans for her dream home to noted architect Wilson McClure, and the home represents many of his signature design philosophies: inviting formals, walls of windows that unite indoors and out, and generously sized rooms that flow easily into one another.    
         
    Just off the large marble foyer lay the formal living and dining rooms, both lined with expansive windows and verdant views. Just beyond are a picturesque, brick-floored garden room and a warm, wood-paneled library. Its enormous closet and attached full bath provide the potential to become a guest suite if desired.    
         
    The fully appointed kitchen adjoins an oversized butler’s pantry that offers expanses of workspace and storage, and it overlooks one of the many outdoor entertaining spaces.    
         
    On the second level, the home’s original six bedrooms were renovated to become three large suites. The owner’s retreat in particular boasts the luxurious amenities required for a truly private getaway. Separate his-and-hers baths, dressing areas and closets adjoin an additional living space that can serve as a sitting room or office. Treetop views add to the feeling of privacy.    
         
    Accessible both from inside the home and from a separate outside entry are the spacious guest quarters, fully outfitted with a living area, en-suite bedroom and kitchen. The flexibility of this suite’s design makes it ideal for use as an additional bedroom suite, office or exercise area.

    The ideal complement to the home’s outstanding design aesthetic is the beautiful lot on which it is sited. Privately tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the home’s rear grounds overlook Turtle Creek, and Dallas Country Club fairways lay just beyond.    
       
    Towering trees, most original to the property, are augmented by extensive professional landscaping, creating a garden oasis with spaces for secluded seating areas, elegant entertaining spaces and outdoor grilling.
