This week’s High Caliber Home, sponsored by Lisa Peters at Caliber Home Loans, takes us to Briarwood, the exclusive enclave that’s nestled within Bluffview in North Dallas. Briarwood is one of those Dallas neighborhoods that feel a little bit country and a little bit city with its tall mature trees, large lots, and curb-less streets. This Stanford Ave. home, too, is a hybrid — part transitional, part modern farmhouse.
The corner lot home was designed by architect Kevin Parma of Parma Design and built by Creekview Custom Homes in 2016. But listing agent Brandon Stewart says this custom-built home has been very lightly lived-in so it feels brand new. Why not build yourself a home brand new from scratch, you ask?
“This is a great opportunity for buyers not wanting to endure the long expensive and frustrating construction process that is currently the market standard,” Stewart comments in the listing. That’s why.
From the foyer, beautiful white oak wood floors seemingly point inward toward the open floor plan with wide hallways and minimally dissected spaces. As such the formal dining room is a wide open space that could be used for dining, living, or working. That’s flex space, baby.
For a more private space, there’s a dedicated office or study with a built-in desk flanked by a wall of built-in shelves.
A large gourmet eat-in kitchen features Thermador appliances, tons of storage, and a butler’s pantry that would make any chef envious. Beautifully robin’s nest blue subway tiles offer a nice change of pace from the typical tile backsplash colors en vogue these days.
A wall of sliding glass doors from the kitchen to the living room provide an abundance of natural light while seamlessly connecting interior and exterior spaces for the perfect entertainment combo. The patio living space features an outdoor kitchen and a spacious grass yard.
The large master suite located upstairs features blackout shades, a free-standing tub, and a custom closet system that’s adjacent to the laundry room. In total, there are four bedrooms, three full baths, and one half-bath set over two stories and 4,247 square feet.
Brandon Stewart has listed 4700 Stanford Avenue for $1.795 million.
