We have been watching this home for awhile, salivating. It’s one of those timeless moderns, a mere 10 years old but so well endowed with the finest, timeless materials, buyers think it’s new. Of course, we were not surprised to see this home nominated for our Sweetest Homes in Dallas-Fort Worth list.
For homes to be in the running for our Sweetest Homes in Dallas-Fort Worth nod, it had to be listed during the period between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31 of 2021. Check and check. And then some.
The home was eco-conscious and energy-efficient when Greta Thunberg was being breastfed. Not only is there a geothermal system for heating and cooling, but the home is also resplendent with recycled hardwood floors gathered from 100-year-old buildings that were torn down in India, shipped, and lovingly re-created into flooring.
Then there is the glass. Walls of it drink in the surrounding trees, bringing the richness of the lot into every single room.
The home is a total of 7,126 square feet with three en suite bedrooms, formals, and study with stunning outdoor living spaces that expand it effortlessly, and without taxation, from the deck surrounding the infinity-edged pool to every entry and exit. You can entertain, relax, or hibernate on a leafy, treed two-acre lot minutes from the vibrance of North Dallas and Addison, but tranquil enough to provide a weekend of peace.
This sweet Midcentury Modern-style home is located in Addison, tucked into a beautiful subdivision of estate homes known as Winnwood just south of Beltline Road. Owned by noted interior designer Barbara Elliot Daseke and her husband, Don, this home bears the imprint of intense style.
The Dasekes were recently honored by Addison Mayor Joe Chow, who lauded the couples exemplary power to make a difference “through thoughtful, selfless, kind-hearted deeds and servant leadership. The proclamation honored the Dasekes’ passion and commitment to volunteerism which embodies the heart of Addison.”
