Twin Creeks Home Shows What Allen’s Luxury Market Has to Offer

 

Sometimes our suburbs to the north get a bad rap for being nothing more than the same homes, block after block, in predictable master-planned subdivisions with a Stepford-like feel. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth — especially in Allen.

This city has so much going for it right now, including a trophy case of accolades worthy of an Olympic athlete. It’s almost like Allen is getting a new award or recognition month after month, with the town just being named one of the healthiest housing markets in America and one of the best cities for young families.

But Allen is so much more than that. Did you know that the city also has a thriving luxury real estate market? Just take Twin Creeks, for example, says Ebby Halliday Realtor Cathy Browne.

“We are so excited about the choices for luxury buyers in beautiful Twin Creeks — from the Lexington area, to the Vistas on the golf course, to the luxury patio homes in Somerset, and finally the gated community — Wimberley Place,” Browne said. “Great choices for buyers looking for great schools, new shopping and dining, and convenience to all areas of Dallas.”

A fantastic example of luxury homes in Allen is Browne’s latest listing, 1601 Bowie Court. Not only does it have incredible curb appeal, but this Evans custom home is on its A game with interior finish-out.

 

Yes, this home has everything, and it shows so exceptionally well. Feng Shui aficionados will love the floorplan, as the staircase doesn’t point right at the front door, and the layout allows for people to easily move around within the space. With five bedrooms, four full and one half bath, and more than 4,700 square feet, there’s ample room under this roof for a family.

The lighting scheme is perfect — just enough to brighten spaces, with plenty of recessed lights to not clutter the tall ceilings. This home comes equipped with formals, a den and eat-in kitchen, study, media room, huge master suite, and a spacious kitchen that’s lousy with cabinets and countertop space. Plus, you have to love the mouldings and windows throughout this home!

While Twin Creeks offers plenty of common amenities, including two pools, tennis courts, a golf course, and hike-and-bike trails, you may never leave the resort-style oasis of a backyard. A saltwater pool, spa, three water features, stone fireplace, built-in outdoor kitchen and grill, expansive grassy yard, two cedar-covered patios, plus a flagstone patio all give you a wonderful view of the nearby fully treed creek.

“This spectacular Evans custom home sits on one of the most serene and private cul-de-sac lots I have ever seen in Twin Creeks — not to mention the large size at .82 acres,” Browne said. “The dazzling pool was the first thing that caught my sellers’ eye when they purchased the home. At that point, they were sold on it!”

Speaking of sold, Browne has listed this beauty for $824,900. Considering the amenities, schools, location, and upgrades, that’s a good deal. I guess Allen has grown up after all!
