It’s as if all the Realtors who chose to take the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day off have scheduled all of their open houses for this weekend. And no, we’re not complaining, except that we want to go to so many of them but they haven’t figured out time travel or cloning yet. But these open houses stood out enough that if you head out into this weekend’s chilly weather, you just might see some of the daltxrealestate.com team at them.
I hope these Realtors plan to have a fire going at their listings!
FULLY LOADED MANSION INSIDE ALLEN’S TWIN CREEKS
OPEN HOUSE: Sunday, Jan. 10, 2 – 4 p.m.
Amazing, right? It would probably be easier to tell you what this huge, 11,000-plus-square-foot estate in Allen doesn’t have. You get all the privacy of living inside a gated community on more than three quarters of an acre, plus all of the amenities that come with a mansion like this. Grand and gilt entry foyer, huge formal living and dining rooms, epic home theater, and a pool that has a cascading curtain of water separating the spa from the main body, which is flanked by fire bowls. Talk about drama!
Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty agent Gina Lester is listing 408 Woodlake Dr. for $3.849 million. That’s a tidy sum for a six-bedroom, six-full-and-two-half-bath home with a five-car garage.
CRAFTSMAN ON BELMONT STRIKES CONTEMPORARY CHORD
OPEN HOUSE: Saturday, Jan. 9, 12 – 2 p.m.
I am loving how this home has a delightfully classic Craftsman exterior that blends so well with the surrounding neighborhood. Inside, though, it’s a different story, as you can see. Rusted steel on the stair rail adds texture and grit, pairing well with the hand-scraped hardwood floors and sleek museum-finish walls. It’s another great build from 2L Custom Homes, which has done several projects in the area.
And while I’m not usually a fan of Edison bulbs, these fixtures really warm up the four-bedroom, three-full-and-one-half-bath home on 5337 Belmont Ave. It’s a Rogers Healy listing and this 3,575-square-foot home is priced at $820,000, which comes out to just less than $230 per square foot.
SPEC HOME IN STONEWALL AREA MAKES MOST OF LOT
OPEN HOUSE: Sunday, Jan. 10, 1 – 3 p.m.
You’ve seen this home on the blog before because we absolutely love it and it’s built by one of our own daltxrealestate.com Approved Builders, JLD Custom Homes. Jeff Dworkin works hard to make all of his homes not only tasteful and bright, but easy on the planet, too.
But besides the fab finish-out and EnergyStar features inside this four-bedroom, four-bath home at 5802 Anita St., you’ll also love that this property is just across the street from the award-winning Stonewall Jackson Elementary School. And it’s just down the street from Mockingbird Station and so close to SMU and the Park Cities. It has location, amenities, and schools, so we’re sure listing agent Kyle Rovinsky will get it sold.
GROUNDBREAKING MODERN ON DESCO DELIVERS DRAMA
OPEN HOUSE: Sunday, Jan. 10, 2 – 4 p.m.
We have a bit of a love affair with 6607 Desco Dr., also known as “Casa Fearless.” It’s the home of Anna Seyffert, designer and owner of Spun Creative Group, and it is just what the name describes: fearless. Color and texture combine in this contemporary home to create interest beyond your standard North Dallas abode. The results are amazing!
From the curb to the kitchen to the backyard, we have found something new to fall for in this four-bedroom, five-bath home that sits on more than a half acre. This eye-popping home is listed with Allie Beth Allman associate Brandi Bragg for $2.895 million.
