5212 Runnin River Drive, Plano, TX 75093

This exquisite Mediterranean inspired custom home with guest house is situated on a sprawling, over a half-acre lot in the prestigious Lakeside on Preston community.  The curb appeal is stunning with majestic magnolia trees, professionally designed landscaping, a decorative water fountain, and a circular drive highlighting the arched windows and beautifully tiled arched covered entry leading to the iron and wood front doors. From the Foyer, travertine tile floors extend into the entertaining areas that include the Formal Living Room, Formal Dining Room, as well as the Family Room, Kitchen, and Sunroom.  A phenomenal view of the backyard is enjoyed from the Formal Living Room, and a built-in china hutch serves the Formal Dining Room. Columns visually provide separation of the formal areas but allow an open flow from room to room.

The well-equipped Kitchen features abundant cabinetry, two pantries, striking granite countertops with coordinating backsplash, SubZero Side-by-Side refrigerator, JennAir double gas ranges with indoor grill, six burners, and two convection ovens, wine cooler, beverage cooler, and icemaker.  The Breakfast Nook and Family Room share the profusion of natural light that flows from the expansive wall of windows.  The Family Room is crowned with a twenty-two-foot ceiling, a corner, stone gas fireplace, and a built-in media cabinet. A pass-through window conveniently opens into the incredible Family Room wet bar from the decadent Sunroom outfitted with two rotational ceiling fans and sliding doors that fully open to create an open-air covered patio.

The outdoor living area is spectacular and perfect for entertaining.  Two waterfalls, a spa, and tanning ledge are elements incorporated into the pool area. A wood-burning fireplace and firepit can be enjoyed from the open patio adjacent to the pool.  A cabana houses the Viking gas grill and smoker, gas burners and sink.  Tucked along landscaped walkways meandering through the property are separate sitting areas and gardening spots, including an herb garden and flower beds.  The cozy Guesthouse mimics the architectural style of the main house and features a covered porch, a gas fireplace with wood mantle, built-in cabinets, a Full Bathroom, and a walk-in closet.

Inside the main house, the Master’s retreat includes a sitting area with shuttered bay windows, a stone, gas fireplace with wood mantel and a spa-like Master Bathroom with a leaded glass garden window over a jetted tub, separate marble vanities, frameless glass shower, and a very impressive custom master closet.

A coveted guest suite with access to a Full bathroom is located on the first floor and three additional bedrooms are on the second floor, each with walk-in closets. Also on the second floor is a Media Room that offers a wet bar with  a mini-refrigerator, and a very spacious Game Room with two storage closets.

A few more of the many amenities this home has to offer includes a three-car garage with a porte-cochere, gated driveway, and a back staircase in addition to the fabulous front staircase.
