Maybe you’re forward-thinking — a little bit edgy, even — and you like the clean lines and geometric simplicity of a modern aesthetic. You don’t need to cram into a downtown loft to find the new age architecture of your heart’s desires.

Our Splurge vs. Steal this week features two contemporary houses on the market in the serene neighborhood of Preston Hollow — both coming in at around 3,600 square feet.

The Splurge: 3953 Merrel Road

This week’s Splurge is one of the late Tom Greico’s limited designs. Listed at $1.425, this beauty could be mistaken as a contemporary art museum any day. The design is sleek, thoughtful and flooded with natural light– aka pretty much everything any self-respecting modern home aspires to be.

Luxury touches like the stunning white marble shower, the geometric accent wall in the primary bedroom and the boldly-patterned blue bathroom speak for themselves.

From the listing: “Step inside this beautifully designed home to discover why the late Tom Greico was one of the most loved architects of Dallas. Designed around a central courtyard, the 1st floor owner & guest suites, office, kitchen, living and dining rooms are privatized yet filled with natural light. Strategic windows frame the tree tops & block the street. A 711 SF garage with windows & quartz floors contains a studio, workshop and electric car charger. Smart home systems automate everything from window shades to the refrigerator. Luxury finishes, appliances and tech added in 2019, make this home move-in ready.”

The Steal: 3848 Royal Lane

Just a three-minute drive away, there’s another contemporary kid on the block … although you may not be able to surmise that from the curb.

Take a step inside the standard stone and shingle-roof exterior, however, and you’ll find similar clean lines, noteworthy accent walls, and even a metal spiral staircase. True, this Steal may not be as sleek as our Splurge, but hey. It comes with an extra bedroom, more square footage, a pool … and all this for nearly $700,000 less.

From the listing: “Modern, sophisticated home fully updated and move in ready. Prime location close to highly rated schools, parks, trails and major highways. Well appointed kitchen has custom crisp white cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless appliances and large island. Open concept and tall living room ceiling covered in beautiful wood shiplap and an abundance of natural light throughout the home. Owner’s suite on main floor is spacious and the luxurious bath offers an elegant frameless glass shower, dual sinks and two walk-in closets.”
