DALLAS , Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Another exceptional home represented by Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty has garnered media attention. Represented by expert agent Joan Eleazer , 27 Robledo Drive in Dallas was chosen by the editors of Traditional Home magazine for a 12-page feature in its summer 2022 print issue and for an online feature on bhg.com. Recently and completely updated, the Montecito-inspired stunner in gated Los Arboles — an idyllic enclave of architect-designed homes just 12 miles north of downtown Dallas — features spacious living areas, cozy nooks, charming courtyards and the most inviting pool and outdoor living areas.

The magazine feature focuses on the homeowners and their designer, Dallas -based Kristin Mullen of Kristin Mullen Designs, who called for a clean aesthetic as a backdrop to the owners' collection of antiques. The magazine's style and design editor, Krissa Rossbund , writes in the story: "Step one was to strip down Italianate features, including elaborate moldings, lavish decoration, and cast stone on the exterior." Rossbund calls out the home's "white walls in a textural finish [that] recall a sense of age matched by decorative appointments" and its elegant kitchen, writing "casement windows from France work as doors in upper cabinets. … Beams add charm on the ceiling and frame the nearby breakfast nook, where a custom banquette offers a cozy spot to look out to the pool. Outlined by old beams and corbels, the breakfast nook glows with natural sunlight that streams through a wall of windows."

A home of remarkable beauty, 27 Robledo Drive features many unique touches, including antique mantels, reclaimed doors and French and Italian stones. Redesigned in 2019-20 by noted Fusch Architects in Dallas , with interior design by Mullen, the 7,973-square-foot home offers four bedrooms, four full baths, a temperature-controlled wine room and a primary suite complete with spacious closets, limestone-floored bath, exercise room and adjacent study.

The aforementioned kitchen features a barrel-vault ceiling, wide island, farm sink, dual dishwashers and a vintage-inspired Ilve range, handmade in Italy .

A rare balance of extreme elegance and absolute ease, "this home is noteworthy both from a design perspective and for its livability," says Eleazer, a fourth-generation Dallasite and unparalleled expert in the area's premier neighborhoods and towns, including Highland Park, University Park, Preston Hollow , Turtle Creek, Uptown and Downtown. She is representing 27 Robledo Drive in Dallas for $7,995,000 . More information and more than 40 high-resolution photos of this exceptional home are at briggsfreeman.com.
