6840 Lakewood is a jewel, a timeless estate in the most beautiful setting on the boulevard. With its architecturally significant home situated on a .5 acre, hillside lot, complete with a pond, it’s hard to imagine a more idyllic landscape. In 1926, a prominent TX publisher envisioned their… Read More dream home and hired, British born architect Bertram Hill to bring it to life. The current owner has been a marvelous steward of the property. During their tenure, they have expanded the home to include a guest suite; a larger kitchen; a two-story, secondary living area; and an expanded primary bedroom suite. Across the front is the stately living room with a hammered metal fireplace. French doors in every room on the 1st floor open onto terraces, lawns, and walled courtyards. Dine alfresco in the spring and enjoy the spectacular view from the home’s wide front terrace or enjoy a holiday meal in the home’s frescoed dining room. There is a Rookwood tile floored entry foyer-solarium; two opera worthy staircases; leaded glass windows; and European inspired brass hardware. A multi-hue Ludowici tile roof and masonry construction marked by a subtle, crescent finish are among many considered details. The large European style kitchen is anchored by a French made LaCanche range and oven, and the central island, with its exuberant terrazzo-finishes is perfectly sized for cooking and dining. There are 3 bedrooms. The primary suite has been expanded to include an exquisite, mosaic-tiled bath cabinetry detail and natural light. The home’s second bedroom, as inviting as the primary suite, has a significant bath with vintage-style b&w appointments. A fourth room on the 2nd floor can be converted into a fourth bedroom. There are many beautiful and well loved homes in Lakewood, however, no home on Lakewood Blvd has the matchless combination of setting and architectural design found here. Read Less
