An “O” House is a home so fabulous you have to drop whatever you are doing (yeah, even that) or holding, including your nail file, to look!
Are you sick of your HOA? Then why not get some neighbors who cannot talk back, who cannot borrow a cup of sugar from you (carbs anyways, you don’t have a single packet in the house), cannot crank their music up, have pesky kids or Gold Crown valets parking cars to block your driveway.
Why are these neighbors so wonderful — they seem PERFECT! Because they are dead!
That’s right, 2824 Hall Street is a European-flavored brownstone in the honeypot of Uptown, right across the street from Greenwood Cemetery. Not only will you never have pesky neighbors there — unless, perhaps, of a more spiritual nature… your view of downtown Dallas is uninterrupted in all her glory from every single view south. Oh and wait till you see the deck! And the four car garage!Voila 2824 North Hall Street, marketed by Clay Stapp, who says everyone has heard about this home, but few have seen it,
Well, here is your chance. Grab your French 75 (oui!) and take the tour.
2824 North Hall has a true brownstone/townhome feel, yet it packs the elegant panache of the best outfitted Preston Hollow estate into every bit of the 5097 square feet. I seldom see such quality of detail. Walk through the sidewalk-placed iron gates, up the exterior stairs, through the double glass and iron doors and into a beautiful foyer, a broad foyer: this is the first floor. It holds the formal living, formal dining, breakfast, morning room and kitchen. About that kitchen: huge center granite slab island, top of the line stainless appliances, farmhouse sink, fireplace, and more storage than my home. This floor, being slightly elevated, also has a couple of balconies. In fact, there are balconies on every single floor. There is a four car garage underground with two huge, 12 by 15 ft secured storage areas, and a laundry room. And if toning your gluts on the four story staircase just makes that butt too sexy, take the elevator: it lands on all four floors.
But up the central grand curved staircase, we have more, much more.
Floor two, the sleeping floor, holds the huge master bedroom suite with views, a huge closet, complete spa bath experience, coffee bar, and sitting area. There is a laundry room here, too, the second, off the master bedroom. There are two enormous bedrooms on this floor, the master coming in at 14 by 18.
Floor three is the fun floor: a media room with kitchen, concession and bar, a game room, and… lots of fun.
Then the crowning glory: the roof.
Up here is everything you’ve ever wanted in a backyard without the fuss, mud or bugs. But there is a hot tub, another full bar, full kitchen, TV wired, and views that people pay millions more for a few miles downtown.
You will only pay $1,950,000.
Sadly, the builder is unknown. He created the shells back in 2000 but the property was foreclosed on before he could finish them. Maybe someone out there knows? But finished they are, and royally so. Clay introduced the property in his usual fun style a couple of weeks ago and we could not leave that rooftop. Go on and take a look and you will see what I mean — you won’t be able to, either. Dead people make the best neighbors!
I think they were designed by Ogelsby? I went through the them with consideration of finishing them ( with a custom builder and John Zouzelka ) . Design was flawless! Still is! Never have forgotten them. Stunning place.
