Peek Inside The ’Hi Sugarplum’ Lifestyle Blogger’s Home For Sale in Plano

The last time Plano lifestyle blogger Cassie Freeman and her husband listed a home for sale in 2015, it incited a bidding war. Two national newsstand publications flew to Plano to photograph the home with the stunning transformation and soon Freeman’s vibrant sense of design went viral on the Today show. Seeing her north Plano home, recently listed by Amanda Christensen of Ebby Halliday Realtors, we understand why.

This five-bedroom, three-and-half-bath home spans 3,528 square feet in the Plano neighborhood of Huntington Homes near Alma and 75.

Christensen calls it a striking, one-of-a-kind Colonial that “exudes style, comfort, and functionality in the most refined way.” Handsome dormers top the cast stone entry with a transomed front door and faux shutters that frame the second-story windows.

Once inside, you can tell this home is different. Maybe it’s the yellow curtains that pop against the wainscoting-lined walls of turquoise. Maybe it’s the perfectly chaotic mixtures of materials and design in the library.

In either case, let me do a quick health check. That feeling you’re getting in your stomach? It’s house envy. Don’t worry, I have it too. Cures include flipping through magazine- or HGTV-worthy homes and picturing yourself there.

The chef’s kitchen features custom cabinetry with designer lighting and hardware, gas cooktop, and an oversized pantry with some enviable organization.

But it’s the bold tile backsplash that both headline and compliment the white painted cabinets and Corian countertops. Are your gears turning with inspiration and love?

The oversized first-floor primary suite features warm chocolate walls and an irregularly shaped tray ceiling. Amazing views of the resort-style pool and an opulent ensuite bathroom with custom walk in closet make this suite stand out. And the walls and floors in the bath — wow, just a stunning mixture of deep black herringbone tile, geometric detailed walls, and tile floors that feel like a hip throwback to past decade style.

The beautiful wood staircase takes you to the second floor where you will find a bright, modern living area, yoga space, and four vibrantly unique bedrooms — one of which has a built in desk for the ideal home office. Every room is an individual expression.

Amanda Christensen of Ebby Halliday Realtors has listed 8005 Rosemont Drive for $900,000. She’s hosting an open house from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 28 and believe me, it’s going to be the place to be seen.
