Just when you thought the transformation of Dallas’ older neighborhoods couldn’t get any better, well, it gets downright decked out in East Dallas!
Introducing Skyline Terraces, an exciting new master-planned community of 25 strikingly designed townhomes loaded with architectural drama and influences, each of them offering yet a new dimension in urban living — sweeping rooftop terraces, high-end accouterments, and magnificent views of the downtown Dallas skyline.
Hence the name, Skyline by Dooley Developments, a young Dallas-based multi-unit end-user development company. This is Colin Dooley’s first Dallas development near completion. Others underway include 20 units at The Alto in Oak Lawn, 10 units at The Pradera at Bryan Place, The Oram at Greenville and Oram, behind HG Sply Co., the Luana in Trinity Groves, the Nove (“Nine”) in Bishop Arts, and the Edge at White Rock. His Austin developments are The Legacy at St. John and Creekside.
Skyline Terraces are located in the city’s newest hot spot, the rapidly evolving, inner-eastern Ross Avenue precinct, minutes from downtown Dallas, thus only minutes away from the enticing dining, nightlife and cultural offerings of Uptown and Deep Ellum.
And did we tell you that you will park your car in your secure, two-car garage, slip on some shoes (or flip-flops), and just walk, walk, everywhere?
Skyline Terrace townhomes are custom-engineered from the ground up to the fourth-floor rooftop to be both models of efficiency and breathtakingly beautiful. Each unit is capped with a truly tranquil rooftop retreat structurally engineered to support a hot tub (three varieties of which are available for purchase), complete with future private hot tub access and exquisite views of downtown. Modern touches abound with a creative combination of concrete, wood, and steel, all designed to create a unique home in the heart of the city. An open and expansive floor plan creates a wonderful sense of light, which flows to and through the spacious rooms and abundant storage areas. Your new home also comes with that spacious two-car car garage we mentioned, a chef’s dream-style modern kitchen loaded with high-end appliances — steel, baby, stainless steel — and designer touches throughout.
In fact, I want to be a fly on the wall when you see the master bath.
Let me just tell you this: The entire third floor is the master suite/retreat.
And get this — the entire fourth floor is a rooftop deck no one ever wants to leave, complete with comfy built-in cabanas.
Specialized interior-exterior finishes for the homes were selected by the DW Design Group of Southlake. Custom finished cabinets are in all bathrooms and the kitchen. Engineered wood flooring that is indestructible and so realistic I bet you won’t even know it’s engineered, is on the second and third floors. Each home hovers near 2,000 square feet with full en suite baths, custom closets, second-floor living, and dining. That third floor is devoted to the master and while it is oh so close to the rooftop for apres party … if you get our drift … it also features an off-master study that is perfect for an at-home business or a baby’s nursery.
The fourth floor is all deck, hence the project’s hashtags: #BiggestDeckinTown. #DeckedOut. And my fave … #YouKnowYouWantThisDeck!
“These condos emphasize quality and functional living to personalize your own space,” says superstar agent Alan Sahliyeh of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s, director of sales and marketing for Dooley Developments.
“What I have found to be resonating with prospective buyers is that these are not just functional beautifully designed homes to live in, they are great investment properties that can be leased out long after their shelf life with the first buyer,” says Alan. “Buyers consider them not two or three year purchases, but investment assets. They can get some great use out of these for a long time, even returning after they raise their kiddos somewhere else.”
The entire Bryan Place/Ross Ave. area has seen dramatic increases in value, 7 percent year over year, says Alan, and it’s only beginning.
You can get all decked out … at the #BiggestDeckinTown this Thursday from 5 p.m. until the stars come out at 1711 Mccoy St.,Dallas, TX 75204. #YouKnowYouWantThisDeck … maybe two!
