Look inside this angular five-bedroom Preston Forest home once used for CEO entertaining

The house at 11715 Parwen Drive in the Preston-Forest neighborhood of Dallas has a long history when it comes to entertaining — and even a bit of a celebrity connection.

The five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom home was originally built in 2003 for Ron and Abby Smith, owners of Quorum Custom Homes, as their personal residence.

Listing agent Eric Skeen of Briggs Freeman Sotheby's said the home’s features include maple flooring, top-of-the-line appliances, an elevator, a private theater, a game room and a 25-foot balcony.

Recent updates include replacing the garage doors, repainting the walls, resurfacing the maple flooring and replacing HVAC units in 2017. Both the home’s HVAC system and elevator were recently serviced, Skeen said.

As for cosmetic updates, the home’s sellers recently renovated the master bathroom and two upstairs bathrooms, Skeen said. Downstairs, the kitchen’s backsplash was updated and its island was outfitted with waterfall quartz.

The Smiths sold the property in June 2004 to Amy and Darren Kozelsky. The latter is a country Christian singer, and the former is an heiress, according to Candy’s Dirt.

The Kozelskys later built one of Preston Hollow’s most unique houses, often referred to as the Salad-Spinner Mansion or the Lone Star Spaceship.

In 2009, the house changed hands and was purchased by Chemical Management Co. Skeen said its main function was for entertaining guests.

The house, Skeen said, “sold to a corporation for their CEO. He came to town and used it as a company entertaining space. The way that it's laid out, it's pretty perfect for those sorts of events.”

The house sold again in 2014 to its current sellers, who also use the house to entertain. And the parents reaped the benefits of the upstairs bedrooms.

“All three kids’ bedrooms are upstairs, and there’s a game room and a theater room up there,” he said. “They liked that setup because they could have a dinner party downstairs, and the kids wouldn’t have to feel like they were shut in their rooms.”

A potential buyer looking for a house with character will be pleased to hear that all the house’s funky chandeliers and some art could be included with the sale of the house in the right circumstance.

“They're willing to include anything,” Skeen said. “They're not married to anything.”

The house is listed at $2,200,000 without art or light fixtures.
