In Richardson, there’s a little pocket of homes that are custom, gorgeous, and set on generous lots. Canyon Creek is a highly desirable area, and it always has been. But lately, it’s been getting a lot of buzz.
It just might have something to do with the multimillion-dollar renovation ClubCorp is planning for Canyon Creek Country Club. Set to take place in phases throughout 2024, it’s going to be spectacular. They’re modernizing everything from the clubhouse to the holes, adding all-new premium Ultra Dwarf Bermuda grass, and reshaping the trees to show off the incredible setting of Prairie Creek. The amenities are outstanding and like I just said, they’re about to be even more so.
The other thing about Canyon Creek is there’s nothing else like it this close to Dallas proper. Yes, there’s Bent Tree and Prestonwood, but it’s the neighborhood that sets it apart. Homes are a little more spaced out in, there’s an airiness to it. A little more breathing room between you and your neighbors.
As for architectural styles, those are as varied as the golf scores. Compass’ Christy Berry loves Canyon Creek. She’s helped clients find premium lots with homes they completely redesigned after purchase, and she’s helped clients discover their elusive midcentury dream. There’s a little bit of everything up there.
A Canyon Creek Home With Thoughtful Details
Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International’s Laura Crowl and Gavin Smith love it, too. Especially their listing at 3202 Canyon Creek. It’s on the golf course with views of the lush grounds. It’s a sought-after single story that has been impeccably designed and maintained. The millwork is reveal with a single deep groove at the top. Seems like an odd thing to lead with, right? But when you see that level of thought and care go into one simple detail, you know you’re inside an exceptional home.
As for thoughtful details, well, that’s just the beginning.
The kitchen is exquisite with sleek solid maple cabinetry topped with imported Italian Costa Esmeralda Granite. The appliances are Miele. What else could they be? It’s truly top-of-the-line from the entry to the exit. The floors and trim are maple hardwood as well. The toe kicks, bookcases, and shadow boxes all feature cleverly concealed LED lighting to create just enough light to set the scene.
In the great room, perfectly placed floor-to-ceiling windows invite the most incredible views of the golf course and oak and pecan grooves in. It’s those panoramic views that make this home feel even larger than it already is. Not to mention evening sunsets so stunning your Instagram’s ‘bout to get a bump.
The monochromatic paint scheme makes this home a bit of a chameleon. One where your art and furnishings can set the tone. Want to go modern? Knock yourself out. Want to head down a more traditional path? That works, too. It’s such a solid and well-designed home with an effortless layout, everything makes sense. And with all the custom details and touches in literally every room, your furniture has seriously never had it so good.
High Tech Upgrades
One final thing — the mechanical systems. (This is where the engineers perk up.) Every single one has been touched with several new ones added.
Here’s a quick list of what’s been done: New plumbing and electrical, new Lennox HVAC, two Navien tankless water heaters added, SPARK linear gas fireplace, Pentair Everpure drinking water and filtration system, and the entire home is wired for Internet and the great room is wired for surround sound.
Above everything else though, let’s not forget the absolute best location. This home is centrally located in Richardson, directly on Canyon Creek golf course that’s undergoing the most major renovation. Now is a great time to snag this one before the prices soar higher than your drive off that first tee.
Crowl and Smith have 3202 Canyon Creek listed for $1.459 million. It literally just hit the MLS and they’re hosting a broker open Tuesday, September 26 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
