Gone are the days when the idea of living in the suburbs or exurbs brought to mind cookie-cutter homes — each nearly identical in design and elevation and lacking in architectural interest. 800 N. Bluffview Drive files that misconception in the archives.
Designed by the award-winning homebuilder, Homes by J. Anthony, this stunning single-story estate, set on 2 acres at Rockland Farms in Lucas, exquisitely combines traditional and modern elements.
Multiple gables adorn the home’s exterior and a circular drive leads to a porte-cochère and two separate garages. Beyond the ornate, double wrought-iron doors, you’ll enter a grand foyer featuring marble floors, floor-to-ceiling windows and elegant chandeliers. Just off the entryway is a private study enclosed in glass — a custom feature that is both handsome and unique.
The open-concept great room showcases coffered ceilings, chandeliers, and a marble accent wall featuring oversized windows and a sleek, electric fireplace.
The kitchen includes custom cabinetry with applique detailing, double islands, a granite apron sink, a built-in Thermador refrigerator and freezer, a commercial-grade range, double ovens and a large butler’s pantry — sure to delight any chef and their dinner guests.
A cross vault ceiling, beaded chandelier, and starburst accent crown the primary suite while the hardwood floors ground it. And the addition of an electric fireplace adds a modern element to the cozy aesthetic. The en-suite bath features a claw-foot tub set against a tiled wall, dual vanities, marble countertops, dual showerheads, an oversized closet and a private fitness room.
The dedicated media room, with stadium seating, is the ideal place to watch “Trending Now” Netflix releases and for hosting game-watching parties — you may have heard Rihanna will headline the Super Bowl halftime show in 2023!
The outdoor living area is not merely an addition, but an extension of the home — both in design and functionality. The courtyard features cross-hatch pavers, a spacious covered patio with outdoor kitchen and a heated pool with water features — all meant to be enjoyed year-round.
Once a small, farming town, Lucas is now one of North Texas’ premier residential communities. Located in Collin County, approximately 30 miles north of Dallas, developers saw potential; and as suburban living began to rise in popularity, this small town transformed and is now home to many of the area’s most expansive, high-end custom estates with access to the sought-after Lovejoy School District.
