Like a fine wine (say, for instance, the fine wine just poured into the glass above), this is a home that has just gotten better and better with age.
Built in 1963, 5115 Royal Crest Drive showed signs even then it was going to be something really special one day. Like, how could you not be when you are a house with a porte cochère? What says “I’ve arrived” better than having a designated place for people to arrive? And over time, this distinguished feature – perhaps the very first thing you notice when you pull up – has gotten more distinguished and grand with every iteration.
It’s amazing to see just how far this former “ranch-style” home has come in this century alone – outside and inside. We have a full, to-the-studs Boerder-Snyder makeover and expansion to thank for that.
The open formal living/dining areas are adjacent to the large family area and behold panoramic views of the covered outdoor living room and pool. The large chef’s kitchen is loaded with features and conveniences that make entertaining effortless.
And every great entertainer needs a place to retreat and recharge when the guests go home. The primary suite is secluded in its own wing, overlooking a private patio and the pool. If you didn’t come out for days at a time, it could easily be forgiven. The bath is heavenly!
The listing’s description refers to it as being a “showplace,” and we couldn’t agree more with that nuanced choice of words.
Ebby Halliday Realtors co-listing agent Charlie May brought the buyer to this home the last time it changed hands, and is now selling it for them.
“It seems with each new owner,” May said, “the desire has been to elevate this home to its fullest potential. My clients have absolutely done that. They have loved every minute of living here, not just the home itself but the setting and the location – a one-acre lot on a quiet cul-de-sac that backs to a creek, with convenient proximity to shopping, schools and great restaurants. What more could you ask for?”
“With the recent price drop,” co-listing agent Lynne Kitchens said, “it’s more enticing than ever and primed for the next owner to come in and make their mark – or simply enjoy what those who came before them have created.”
5115 Royal Crest Drive is priced at $2,625,000. If you’d like to schedule a showing, Charlie may be reached at 214-718-5906 / [email protected] and Lynne at 972-742-9122 / [email protected]
