Our lovely senior writer, Leah Shafer, is sick with a double ear infection today. So bear with me as I try to fill in. Now, I do love beautiful new builds, but I thought I’d bring you an insider look at some of the stunning and fab homes in price ranges all over with our CandysDirt Open Houses of the Week column this week. Every Thursday, we pick five fabulous open houses in Dallas (and Fort Worth this week!) you shouldn’t miss.
This weekend you can catch open houses at properties ranging from a $549,000 soft contemporary in North Dallas to the stunner listed by Doris Jacobs in Highland Park pictured above for $3.95 million. Click through to see even more!
LUXURIOUS NEW BUILD BY WREN BROWNING IN HIGHLAND PARK
Open house: Sunday, Jan. 22, 2-4 p.m.
This listing at 3624 Dartmouth is a new build by Wren Browning in Highland Park, finished in 2015. Here you see the epitome of transitional style — a real showplace for this builder — incorporating a rich and thoughtful mix of finishes and materials. Gorgeous hardwood floors, 11-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling metal-framed windows, a splendid winding staircase in the foyer, and classic stone everywhere else. You get formal living and dining rooms, a beautiful wet bar/butler’s pantry, and a kitchen that doesn’t take second place in any competition with top-of-the-line appliances — Wolf, Miele, and Sub Zero. There are four bedrooms, five full and two half baths, as well as an incredible family room, den, and game room within its 5,612-square-foot floor plan.
The master suite? Well, it has an incredible layout, as well as perfectly luxurious his-and-her master baths just lousy with marble. Trust us — this is an open house worth seeing! It’s listed with Allie Beth Allman & Associates legend Doris Jacobs for $3.59 million.
UPDATED FORT WORTH TUDOR IN ARLINGTON HEIGHTS
Open house: Sunday, Jan. 22, 1-3 p.m.
It’s another beautiful new build for your open house schedule, this time it’s a custom home from Emerald Homes, a D.R. Horton brand. Located at 5516 El Campo in Arlington Heights, this two-story home was just completed and absolutely speaks to the clean-lined, transitional tastes of nowadays. From the curb, this home is such a cute Tudor with a high-pitched roof. Inside it’s open and bright, with some really outstanding millwork. The kitchen is gorgeous, with a large granite island, stainless steel appliances, and really lovely pendant lights. The master bath strikes the perfect balance of luxury and functionality, with a cool panel of herringbone tile in the shower enclosure. The master suite has his-and-hers closets, too.
This listing from Emily Vick at Williams Trew has four bedrooms, three full and two half baths, and 4,500 square feet for $1.09 million.
FOUR-BEDROOM MIDWAY FOREST RANCH FLIP FEATURES EXPERT UPDATES
Open house: Sunday, Jan. 22, 2-4 p.m.
Midway Forest is a hotbed of activity with flippers, and the house at 4417 Echo Glen offers an example of how to do a flip properly. Built in 1971, this ranch received a fantastic re-fresh that includes an open floor plan and a kitchen with tons of storage. You get four bedrooms, four full and one half baths, and a great backyard. The home itself is quite large, clocking in at 3,075 square feet.
We love the way the open floor plan allows you to flow through the public areas with ease — perfect for entertaining. Windows have been replaced or upgraded, but we’re thrilled to see that the enormous curved bay window in front was retained. In the kitchen, true home chefs will appreciate all of the drawers and storage, as well as the double ovens and stainless steel gas cooktop. The granite counters are perfect to offset the white cabinetry.
Karen Fry with Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate is listing this newly remodeled home — the paint is still drying! — for $659,000.
COZY DOLLHOUSE IN BLUFFVIEW HAS EVERYDAY LUXURY FEEL
Open house: Sunday, Jan. 22, 2-4 p.m.
It’s so cute from the street isn’t it? It’s hard to not fall in love with 4723 Purdue at first sight. Not only is it adorable, but you’ll find that it’s rather cozy and sweet inside, too. Of course, there are pops of drama in this superbly located three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath, 1968-square-foot home. The dining room chandelier, for instance, offers just the right amount of glam. You’d be amazed at how much this home holds, including a five-piece master bath.
And of course, there’s a cute backyard, complete with patio — perfect for sipping something while the kids run around like crazy.
This is a new listing from Allie Beth Allman & Associates Realtor Nora Lane priced at $650,000.
LOW MAINTENANCE SOFT CONTEMPORARY IN NORTH DALLAS
Open house: Saturday, Jan. 21, 1-3 p.m.
Yes, this 1976 soft contemporary is right on Campbell Road in North Dallas, but it’s also right next to Twin Lakes Park with the Highlands North duck pond and is inside the Richardson ISD attendance area. Not only that, but this home is perfect for a family, with an open floor plan, tons of natural light, and low-maintenance exteriors and backyard. Inside, this four-bedroom, three-full-and-two-half-bath home has both tile and hardwood floors, an oversized family room that has a beautiful wooden accent wall, and a large master bedroom.
As if that wasn’t enough to sell you on 7328 Campbell Road, there have been $70,000 worth of recent upgrades completed throughout, including a new roof, radiant barrier, new windows, paint, and light fixtures. Outside, you’ll find a full privacy fence, a newer retaining wall, and a lovely pool.
Brandi Mayer of Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate has listed this home to sell at $549,900 — that’s just over $120 per square foot!
