“Jewel box.”
That’s the term listing agent Rebecca Levy uses to describe this property at 12114 Vendome Place in North Dallas’ exclusive Parc Du Lac Estates. And we don’t disagree – ‘tis fitting in this case. Inside of jewel boxes, you find gems.
“Behind the unassuming entrance of this home,” the Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate agent says, “are multiple brilliant facets that together perform optical magic – soaring ceilings, walls of windows, unique architectural details and extravagant finishes. Studio White and Joe Shannon did a really amazing thing here. And this gem’s setting makes all the difference – it backs to a private lake for some added sparkle.”
The two-bedroom, 2.2-bath residence is in a quiet cul-de-sac community. Originally built in 1983, this 3,547-square-foot (tax) garden home has undergone a stunning renovation in the past two years. The current owner spared no expense, enlisting the expertise of Studio White Designers and Veritas Developers to create a harmonious blend of modern aesthetics and timeless charm. The Marvin clad window and door systems, accompanied by transoms that allow abundant natural light to fill the space, enhance the overall ambiance.
Inside, you’ll find slick Level 5 wall finishes for a sophisticated and polished look. The living room is adorned with a fluted Danby marble mantel over the fireplace, serving as a stunning focal point (that is, if you can avert your eyes away from the large shaded patio on the other side).
With a dedicated study, you’ll have the perfect space to let your creativity flow or get some work done. And let’s not forget the hidden wet bar. Just pour yourself a mock- or cocktail and go park yourself in front of that lake view every day. Guaranteed to never get old! It should also be noted that your neighbors along this side have no windows overlooking you – how’s that for privacy?
The kitchen is a gem in its own right. With oak cabinets and high-end appliances like Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Bosch, you’ll be cooking up a storm day and night. Of course, you’d be forgiven if you burned everything, because again … the view!
The primary bedroom on the first level is a true retreat, with a stunning view of the water and a private deck. And with a large walk-in closet, you’ll have plenty of space to store all your fashion finds. The primary bath is itself a work of art, with fluted oak cabinets, heated flooring for added comfort, a wet room with arched entry, and even a Toto bidet.
Head up the stylish acrylic staircase to the second level, where you’ll find the second bedroom and bath, and an additional study nook. This versatile space allows you to tailor it to your needs, whether you want to create a cozy reading corner or set up a second home office. We’d be tempted to make it a workout room, but you are literally next door to the world-renowned Cooper Clinic and Aerobics Center.
A few more amenities worth mentioning: this home is equipped with indoor and outdoor speakers, a sustainable bamboo-slatted deck system that’s LEED certified, and two new HVAC units, installed in February.
