Much of Northwest Dallas is full of midcentury homes of various caliber, but builders are seeing the long-term value in the larger lots and shady streets of this area, building high-caliber homes that have all of the amenities, texture, and style that today’s buyer demands.
This contemporary home listed by David Griffin & Co. Realtor Janelle Alcantara is a perfect example of this trend. With brand new everything, huge closets, tons of built-ins, and energy efficient building materials, what more could you possibly want? Yes, this is definitely a high caliber home, and when you’re ready to put in an offer, go to the best — Lisa Peters at Caliber Home Loans.

Just like Alcantara said, 3811 Valley Ridge is full to the brim in built-ins and high-end finish-out. We love the layered look of the hardwood floors, with tons of tonal variation, and the cool full-light French doors that separate the entryway and the office. There’s also a built-in storage area near the front door, perfect for dumping keys and mail and storing chargers.
The hallway leads to the two-story living and dining area, complete with even more built-ins — check out that bar! — and a cool wall-mount fireplace. It’s a fantastic open floor plan that is great for families and entertaining. You’ll adore the storage and how much light streams in from the huge patio windows and the clerestory panes up near the ceiling — all of which works well with the contemporary lighting scheme and ceiling fan.
We also love the contemporary ironwork on the staircase and bannister that overlooks the living area. On the second floor is an additional living area — an open landing — that is a wonderful place for kids and their stuff. In all, this home has five bedrooms, four full baths, 3,233 square feet, a two-car garage, and a low-maintenance backyard for $725,000. Considering the central location and all-new finishes, this home is a great design and a good price point for the area!
The kitchen ticks all the marks for today’s homebuyer with an eat-in island, solid surface countertops, contemporary cabinetry, double ovens, tons of cabinets, and an industrial-looking kitchen faucet. But what we love the most is the little accent windows in the backsplash on either side of the cooktop. It’s a wonderful detail that more and more builders are adding that adds a subtle visual impact.
The master suite is on the first floor and is enormous, with a 17 x 17 area that is plenty of room to carve out a sitting area next to the windows or close to the fireplace. When you aren’t relaxing there, you can luxuriate in the beautiful master bath, which has a very interesting configuration with the vanities facing each other in the corner. That leaves you plenty of room for an oversized, shower, a freestanding tub, AND AN ENORMOUS CLOSET. That thing is HUUUUUGE!
Like we mentioned before, the second floor has an oversized landing that overlooks the first-floor living area. It’s a great hangout for kids, and there’s even a little study nook off of the space for those who need a little more quiet to get their homework done.
While the home itself is large and the yard is petite, you have a large lanai from which you can enjoy the mature trees that shade the backyard. Also remember that this home was built to be incredibly energy efficient, saving you money in a big way when the outdoor temperatures shoot skyward. And to keep the indoors safe, this home comes with a high-tech alarm and home automation system.
