This week’s High Caliber Home of the Week, sponsored by Lisa Peters of Caliber Home Loans, is a 1967-built, completely remodeled beauty near Hillcrest and Belt Line in North Dallas. Nearly every inch of this 2,835-square-foot home, listed by Loren Hall of Compass RE Texas, has been updated to perfection.
And I mean perfection with a capital P. Now, sometimes sellers paint their traditional brick exteriors white and call the home updated. It’s not. They just handed the future owners a project to repaint that hastily-painted brick in a couple of years.
No, this home was practically taken down to the studs, architecturally planned, and expertly remodeled as a breezy floorplan with an abundance of windows and natural light, Hall says.
And the brick work was done right. The sellers replaced a bay window with a large picture window and added a new concrete front porch with three steps to create a usable front porch space that’s inviting and perfectly framed.
Inside, the home features all new doors, thermal efficient windows, hardware, and durable Hartco Hickory wood floors, which according to reviews are more durable than white oak and nearly impossible to scratch. Speaking of durability, there are unsexy, but crucial updates like the electrical panel, outlets, HVAC, and plumbing replacement of cast iron pipes. (Well, as someone who loves her AC, a new HVAC is pretty sexy to me.)
There’s a brand new custom kitchen with an 8-foot Quartz waterfall island, 42-inch soft-close cabinets, floating shelves set against a glass backsplash, and a professional THOR kitchen package with a six-burner gas range, microwave drawer, dishwasher, and side-by-side refrigerator. Even the garbage disposal is cool — no switch; it’s a touch button mounted on the island.
Tophill has plenty of entertaining conveniences like a walk-in pantry, a built-in coffee bar, a 36-bottle wine wall, and a built-in wet bar.
Work from home? Work from this chic home office with an oversized picture window and an accent wall painted in a perfect shade of Sherwin Williams Iron Ore.
The home has four spacious bedrooms with bathrooms that have all been fully remodeled, including Thermostatic curbless shower, waterfall rain heads with body sprayers, and Quartz countertops. In the primary suite, enjoy the freestanding tub, distinguished makeup vanity, and redesigned closet with custom shelving.
Out back, there’s a board-on-board cedar fence, attached electric gate, and a large covered patio that was created with privacy and entertaining in mind, Hall says.
“This redesigned home really sets the standard for style and class,” she says.
Loren Hall of Compass RE Texas has listed 7211 Tophill Lane for $924,900. She’s hosting an Open House from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24 and Sunday, Sept. 25.
