The minute that 10819 Stone Canyon listed, Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s Melissa Jennings‘ phone started ringing and it hasn’t stopped ringing since. With just the quickest glance at these photos, it’s very easy to see why.
It’s a Dallas home that doesn’t feel very Dallas. In fact, Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s Melissa Jennings said one the comments they’re hearing the most is that this home feels more like Colorado. Something you’d find in Aspen or Vail.
The soaring ceilings, incredibly cozy stone fireplace and wall of windows overlooking a sparkling pool surrounded by essentially your own private forest are a huge part of those Colorado vibes.
The pool itself was added by the current owner in 2018 and it’s literally just the start of an almost two-page list of updates.
The current owner also happens to have impeccable taste and she spared no expense. Her specialty is landscaping and she redid it all. She added gorgeous gardens, trees, elephant ears and plant after plant so when you look out the front windows all you see is green.
The pool has a swim-up bar, a tanning ledge and a bubbler to blend right in to that spa scene. Plus it’s heated. And the patio is wired for sound. Can you even imagine cranking the heater AND Phil Collins “In The Air Tonight” as steams rises off the pool on one of our ten cold Dallas nights?
Inside, the marble floors downstairs are original and they are stunning. Jennings said people keep asking if they’re new. They’re not, but almost everything else is. The kitchen was gutted and the owner added a cool contemporary, concrete-topped island, new ceramic tile flooring, new subway staggered backsplash and new Quartzite on the countertops. That killer ceiling fan was already there and again, impeccable taste, so it stayed.
The primary bathroom was gutted as well and fresh, modern marble added around the bathtub. The dual sinks are of the era and that’s another reason this homeowner is so freaking fantastic. With every update, she took the architecture into consideration and stayed true to the original intention.
Upstairs she yanked out the shag carpet and added fresh wood floors. She gutted that bathroom as well.
Like I said, there’s very little she didn’t do. Fresh paint inside and out, epoxy garage floor, Mosquito Nix system, security cameras and video doorbell, front door and all interior doors replaced (with solid core), right down to a fresh pour on the driveway with pebble texture.
It’s about as move-in ready as they come and almost guaranteed to be the envy of everyone. If you’d like to take a look, get a move on and give Jennings a call. She has the house of all houses listed at $789,000.
