I’ve got a total scoop for you today, a gorgeous transitional spec house in Midway Hills that just listed. This property is swoon-worthy, with rich, open spaces, high-end amenities, and beautiful conveniences. This is a Preston Hollow-esque home, but with a lot smaller price tag.
Located at 4046 Northview Ln., it’s the work of daltxrealestate.com Approved Builder Michael Turner, owner of Classic Urban Homes. Turner builds in great Dallas neighborhoods, and he currently has eight luxury homes in various stages of construction. His creations are in demand, to say the least, and it’s easy to see why.
This home has five bedrooms, six bathrooms, three living areas, a three-car garage, and 5,638 square feet on two stories. It sits on just over a third of an acre near Northaven and Midway roads. It has a smooth, clean, uncluttered design with big windows, rich hardwoods, and high-end extras that make for exceptional living.
“I like the neighborhood because you can get the same amenities as the Preston Hollow area, but this house is about $500,000 less expensive that what you would pay there [because of the lot prices],” Turner said. “It’s still a Preston Hollow-style house and finish-out with all the bells and whistles.”
The exterior is transitional, but with some traditional elements to blend with the neighborhood and not overpower. The lot is a little over a third of an acre. Inside, it’s a highly energy efficient smart home completely controllable by phone, from the LED lights and security cameras in front and back, to the thermostat and integrated sound system. Also, there are so many windows in its design, you can walk through the house during the day and never have to turn on a light switch, Turner notes.
This house is walking distance to an elementary school rated “exemplary” for the last five years, Turner says, so homeowners have the option of sending their kids to public school before private middle and high schools, if that’s what they want.
The kitchen has everything you’d dream of in a high-end custom home, like Wolf Sub-Zero appliances, including double ovens, double dishwashers, built-in refrigerator/freezer, gas cooktop, and built-in microwave. There are also elegant marble countertops, a huge breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, and butler’s pantry, perfect for entertaining.
“A lot of people forget something about open style homes, which is when you’re having big parties and catering, where do you set all that stuff up?” Turner said. “This kitchen gives you a place where you can do all that with the butler’s pantry.”
The downstairs master is spectacular, an 18-by-17 room with an incredible ensuite bathroom and dream closet.
“We had a lot of fun building the master suite—the bathroom has an impressive feature in that the shower is almost 100 square feet with a bench that runs the full length, and it’s loaded up with a rainshower shower head, body sprays, and handheld,” Turner said. “The bathroom also has two commodes—we set it up as a his-and-hers master, and the closet is very large and could be divided and separated.”
That magnificent shower also has two entrances, keeping with the “his-and-hers” theme. There’s also a contemporary soaker tub, dual sinks, and lots of storage. The closet offers a built-in dresser, packing station, and California Closet-style finish out where everything is adjustable.
Also downstairs is a second bedroom and study. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, a family room, and loft. The home offers two tankless water heaters and three zones of HVAC. The backyard features a spacious covered patio with a grilling area with refrigerator, and plenty of grassy green space.
This home was listed Oct. 28 by Katherine Roberts with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty for $1,599,999. There is an open house this Sunday, Nov. 13, from 1-3 p.m.
