Provence Can Be Your Providence with this Chateau-Inspired Stunner

Provence can be your’s in Vaquero! I am so in love with this five bedroom, French Moderne-inspired home listed with Ralph Randall and Madeline Jobst of Dave Perry-Miller, I could start packing tomorrow. Will someone give me a loan? This home embodies absolute beauty, refined taste, and gracious living in a six year old property. That means it’s practically brand-new! It’s also in one of my favorite gated communities, Vaquero, where I’m told one of the tip-top Toyota big-whigs is buying a place. Agents tell me that whenever someone from California sees Vaquero, they just go gaga over the homes, the terrain, the club and the prices. I have no doubt this beauty will be snapped up by a transplanted Cali family who will think the $3,200,000 asking price is sheer highway robbery.

By the way, the home has been reduced from $3,450,000.

2104 cedar Elm Terrace is a home that transplanted Californians might call the Poster Child of What Makes Dallas Real Estate Great.  You get a whopping 7320 square feet loaded with top of the line everything, a pool, spa, outdoor living area and pool-side gazebo. The home was crafted, executed and built by a curated design team (and it shows). The exterior is a smooth stucco, with glorious museum finish walls on the interior wall surfaces. I am so crazy about those rich expresso plank hardwood floors, I want to kiss the owners for not covering them up with rugs. They are a piece of artwork!

You get four living areas including library and a media room, gourmet delight kitchen,  five bedrooms, six full and one-half bath. Oh yes, the pool bath is exquisite — hand-made Bisazza Italian tiles!  I also love the marble in the kitchen, and the master bath: it may not be Tom and Cinda Hicks’ separate bathroom/closet/dressing room deal, but I think this master bath is almost perfect. And a better price! You get sterling hardware, Lueder’s limestone, and rich wood finishes, even in the wine cellar. As if this home isn’t large enough at 7320 square feet, it has a three-car garage with extra storage.

Oh and never worry about seeing a neighbor: the home is sited on the 4th hole of the Vaquero golf course, on a .66 acre lot. You know about the schools out here — Westlake Academy has helped pump up real estate values here since it opened in 2003 and offers the International Baccalaureate program.

And never worry about getting a mortgage. The good folks at Inwood National Bank and Mortgage are ready to get you the best mortgage possible with the very best rates. Let Janet Yellen do her thing, let Inwood Mortgage do their’s
