6615 Bandera 1A Front

The Drexel Park Hollow condominiums is in a fantastic location. It’s ridiculously close to both the Tollway and Northwest Highway, but without all of the terrible congestion at preston Road. The building itself is a classic layout that allows for courtyard views and a visual buffer from the street, as well as quiet public spaces.

And inside the luxurious building you’ll find some fab amenities and this stellar listing from David Griffin & Company Realtor Micky Carr. Unit 1A at 6615 Bandera is our High Caliber Home of the Week Sponsored by Lisa Peters of Caliber Home Loans.

“This area is so desireable,” Carr said. “Unlike some of our city’s high-rises and mid-rises, this building is located within a residential neighborhood, perfect for an evening walk.”

Baby Boomers are really dominating this area of the market right now, as more and more people retire and shrink their footprint. But there’s a lot of anxiety wrapped up in the word “downsize,” as one immediately assumes you have to sacrifice a tremendous amount.

Not with this unit.

“This is a great home for buyers who want to downsize to a lock-and-leave lifestyle, but at over 3,900 square feet and three parking spaces, they don’t have to downsize too much,” says Carr.

This home has some really beautiful design accents, with dramatic gray paint and classic shapes, it just oozes class. I love the color palette, especially the teal and sand dining room, complete with a rustic chandelier. But it’s the large windows and French doors that deserve the credit — the large amount of natural light they bring in makes this palette work.6615 Bandera 1A Family 2 6615 Bandera 1A Family 3 6615 Bandera 1A Kitchen 6615 Bandera 1A Kitchen 2

This building was built in 2006, so it has an open floor plan in the family oriented areas. The family room and kitchen both benefit from a lighter color scheme, though I have to say I adore the gray distressed paint on the traditional kitchen cabinets. The countertop and backsplash are also stunning, and they don’t compete for your eye with the sleek, six-burner Wolf range or the large Sub Zero refrigerator/freezer. Under cabinet lighting and warm travertine floors make this a very desirable spot for a home chef.

This beautiful unit looks like it was ripped from the pages of a magazine, to tell you the truth. But that’s not all that’s special about it, says Carr.

“Other than the beautiful, current styling, this condo is set apart by it’s massive amounts of outdoor space  nearly 1,500 square feet!” Carr said. “This includes huge courtyards, even a yard with grass, which is great for pets.”

What’s also quite attractive is the master suite. The humongous closet will definitely make you envious, but I also love the his-and-hers baths, which are joined by a walk-through shower stall. Fun!

Carr has listed this absolutely gorgeous unit for $985,000, which comes out to more than $251 per square foot. Condo HOA fees are $1,351 monthly and include exterior maintenance, maintenance of common areas, management fees, reserves, and trash.
