This week’s Inwood Home of the Week, sponsored by Inwood National Bank, features everything that’s right about ‘70s and ‘80s contemporary homes. I present 15539 Preston Rd Unit 1034.
Of course, contemporaries of those days ran the gamut from the glass blocks and teal paint of Robocop to the glass garage that was actually a house ala Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. But this contemporary townhome located in the gated Preston Del Norte Villas Condos is a beautifully updated example of the sharp angles and soft surroundings that define this style.
“Preston Del Norte’s location is stellar, close to eateries and shops of Addison and North Dallas,” says listing agent Keith Yonick of Coldwell Banker. “The neighborhood is 94 percent owner-occupied and full of friendly neighbors who have lived there for decades.”
That’s a big deal. People love this neighborhood and the homeowners seldom sell.
The 2,258-square-foot lovely has three bedrooms, two baths, and a powder bath. Walk in to find polished marble floors and soaring vaulted ceilings in the sprawling living room that features a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace bathed in crisp white. Walls coated with wainscoting and outfitted with plantation shutters add to this home’s premium feel.
The floor plan is a perfect mix of open and distributed. A formal dining room greets you at the door (by the green painting), but that could become your cozy sitting area for coffee and the latest issue of Vanity Fair.
Then, where the piano is could become your formal dining if you want or need that space. After all, there’s a perfect breakfast room that awaits in the next room over. Or make the piano room your coffee, VF, and conversation salon. Lower ceilings so the echoes of jovial debate doesn’t bounce all through the house.
The recently-updated kitchen features a widescreen picture window, stainless steel appliances including double ovens, exotic granite countertops, and tile backsplash.
Upstairs you will find the amazing primary suite with vaulted ceilings and an en-suite bath with travertine floors, dual sinks, jetted tub, a large stand-alone shower, and walk-in closet. The second bedroom has lots of space with full bath and a walk-in closet, all perfect for a second master suite.
This end-unit condo has a gated entrance and a garage with tons of storage space. The backyard is particularly impressive. With privacy afforded by a high board on board fence, the backyard has a water feature and koi pond, lush landscaping, covered deck, and lots of room for outdoor activities. Plus the complex offers a community pool and club house maintained by the HOA.
