PROSPER HISTORY
Aside from its undeniable elegance and high design, the other bonus is that you’ll be living in Prosper, Texas, known as “A Place Where Everyone Matters.” The town originally sprouted up around the Saint Louis and San Francisco Railroad, and then more recently, blossomed along the tollway extension, U.S. Highway 380, and Preston Road.
Prosper is affluent and suburban, shared by both Collin and Denton counties. It was named among D Magazine’s 2010 Best Suburbs List and continues to rank as the Fifth Best Suburb in the Dallas Metropolitan Area – no easy feat!
Prosper High School cost the town $113.5 million to construct, and spans roughly 590,000-square-feet, complete with a medical tech lab, a restaurant-worthy kitchen, a greenhouse, a broadcast studio, and an indoor football practice facility. If that’s not enough to get you excited about raising a family in Prosper, it also feels right out of a Hallmark movie, especially during the holidays.
The town’s annual Christmas Festival and Fourth of July events are not to be missed! Each May, the Prosper Founders Fest celebrates local history, people, and the arts – an event that combines the Prosper Fire Department’s IBCA-sanctioned Barbecue Cookoff, a 5K race, art show, music festival, and Sunday Family Fellowship.
Clearly, Prosper knows a thing or two about bringing people together.
HISTORY OF HOME
Built in 2002, this remarkable one-owner Prosper estate is like new, offering five bedrooms, four full and one half-bathrooms, and not one, but two generous master suites! Along with countless amenities and a modern mix of interior design, it’s a place where you walk in and immediately have to pick your jaw up off the floor.
The current owner – an interior designer and dealer in antiques, mid-century modern furniture, custom jewelry, and accessories in the Dallas Design District – built and designed the home herself.
Her passion and flair for design is on full display, from the magnificent French-imported front door, to the show-stopping Marzari Italian tile throughout the first floor. Her Midas touch becomes a dream for any buyer who’s looking for a property that offers a contemporary French influence with an updated feel.
We cannot get over the unique combination of mid-century modern design meets antique traditional. The result? Nothing short of extraordinary.
HOME FEATURES
Descend upon 1600 Winding Creek and you’ll discover a lushly landscaped lawn and grand entry welcoming you inside the 7,897-square-foot home with plenty of first-floor living!

Effortlessly flowing off the first floor is outdoor living at its finest.

SECOND FLOOR COMFORT
Back inside, the five bedrooms upstairs all showcase cathedral ceilings and/or dormers with sweeping views of the property. Crown molding, towering columns, and reclaimed sliding barn doors make each bedroom unique, ranging from elegant to cozy, with a touch of warm hues for napping, snoozing or reading a good book.
And what’s happening behind the scenes is equally impressive. The home’s mechanical features include four new HVAC, a new roof, two tankless water heaters, extra insulation for energy efficiency, four garages for the avid car collector, and a stately circle drive.
This is truly a home for entertaining – this Prosper beauty has it all!
