You might buy this West Plano home for the unbelievable walk-in closet alone, but that’s not to say the rest of this 10,256-square-foot home isn’t fantastic in its own right. This six-bedroom, eight-bath home at 5609 Banister Court is listed at $3.95 million by Matthew Rice of The Trophy Group. But first, a little delayed gratification.
This Mediterranean-style manse built in 1994 has been completely updated and renovated to the sleek, modern home that it is today. Actually, if we didn’t have this Google Earth screenshot from 2014 to prove it, you wouldn’t believe it’s the same home. As you can see, Boxwoods and Italian Cypruses once obscured most of the Banister Court’s curbside appeal. Now, a clean patch of Zoysia grass and understated landscaping draw your eye to the home’s white facade and contrasting black trim.
Hardwood floors line the spacious first floor, which covers 7,500 square feet. There’s plenty of room for even the largest of tables in the dining room, where you’ll find one of many gorgeous light fixtures throughout.
You’ll find white marble and quartz throughout the kitchen, which features premium, stainless steel Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances. The lighted dark wood cabinets feature glass doors with stainless hardware.
The over-sized island overlooks the breakfast nook and family room that’s lined with a wall of windows and sliding glass doors. And those midcentury modern-inspired lights in the family room!
Okay, you ready for the closet? But first, the 2,000-square-foot master suite with fireplace, a garden-style wall of windows, and beautifully painted walls and ceiling that perfectly pull the room together. Plus, another fabulous light fixture in the bedroom.
White marble, quartz, and white oak in the bathroom reflect the sleek modern aesthetic throughout the home. A standalone tub and dual-shower head shower give the ultimate spa experience. And another light fixture I’m jealous of, affixed over the bathtub.
Okay, the closet. Wow. Two cabinets of enclosed and lighted shoe storage with open shelving for hats, accessories or watch storage. A center island provides ample, compartmentalized drawer storage. A wall of windows gives fantastic natural lighting, while recessed lighting and a modern chandelier provide illumination at night. Alas, the perfect closet.
The home has six bedrooms and eight-and-half-baths over two stories, plus a bonus guest quarters. The Banister Court estate has a five-car garage and a gated motor court, over 1.49 acres of land near Gleneagles Country Club near Park Blvd. and Dallas North Tollway in Plano’s enviable 75093 zip code.
The listing agent Matthew Rice of The Trophy Group calls this the best home for sale in Texas under $5 million, and he’s got a point. All the modern updates are done in this Banister Court estate and is truly move-in ready for the contemporary design lover.
