Josy Cooner-Collins, co-owner of modern furnishings retailer Scott+Cooner, has her fingerprints on many amazing interiors in Dallas, but her most famous would be the W Hotel in Victory Park. With sleek design and fun details, everything Josy touches turns out amazing. Tons of curves and pops of color make her projects stand out.
This design philosophy carries over to Cooner-Collins’ own home, a beautiful, vast Hill Country-style abode in Forest Hills. A short walk from White Rock Lake and on a huge lot, this six-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath beauty doesn’t disappoint. It has an organic modern vibe, with natural materials and clean lines. For Cooner-Collins, it has been a place her family has loved. However, it’s time to move on, she says.
“Our family is not as big as it once was. We have a total of five children, and only two are still at home,” Cooner-Collins said. “We adore the house but are excited to have a new chance to build another great house by White Rock Lake.”
I, for one, am thrilled to hear that not only will Cooner-Collins stay in the area, but we get another fabulous home designed and decorated with her amazing style. Of course, 8205 Forest Hills Boulevard is a work of art in its own right, with dry-stacked stone on the outside, polished blue limestone inside, and niches and nooks for art and collections of all kinds throughout. This 5,375-square-foot home is listed for $1.599 million by Scott Carlson.
“This home exhibits traditional quality and craftsmanship, while adding new architectural elements that speak to today’s modern design,” Carlson said. “Exceptionally creative with warm colors, clean lines, and opulent details, with a versatile floor plan that is perfect for art collectors, empty nesters, or a growing family.”
Carlson notes that, beyond the expansive living area and cozy fireplace is an inviting kitchen space with top of the line appliances. You get built-in Subzero refrigerator, Subzero wine coolers, a Viking range, built-in Miele espresso machine, and a Kuppersbusch induction wok. It’s an incredibly well-appointed modern kitchen that has a fantastic layout, perfect for entertaining.
“I love the layout, as everyone has their own space when in the house,” Cooner-Collins said. “We can have a dinner for 20 and the kids, who range in age from 8 to 33, can have their own space in it.”
“Your special guests enjoy a separate suite with their own private garden,” Carlson adds. “Here, the home lives in harmony with the people.”
The __cpLocation is a gem, too, Cooner-Collins said.
“I am an avid runner and love having the lake two blocks away,” Cooner-Collins said. “That has been a wonderful element.”
With a mixture of linear elements and gorgeous natural materials, this family home is, as Cooner-Collins calls it, “warm and modern.” We totally agree.
