You’ll Find Sharp Lines and Soft Interiors in This East Dallas Modern
Share News:
This week’s Highlight Home of the Week, sponsored by mortgage expert Lisa Peters of Cardinal Financial, takes us to a little pocket of ultra modern homes constructed with corrugated metal exteriors and luxury materials inside in East Dallas. Our featured home is a brand-new 2023 build at 5842 La Vista Drive listed by Lori Ericsson of David Griffin and Company Realtors.
This home is one of three striking moderns built next to each other by DMOD Homes. Outside, you’ll find cool, gray walls of corrugated metal — a hallmark of industrial modern design — with a no-maintenance, drought-tolerant front yard. But beyond the glass front door, through the gate to the large enclosed patio, or tucked into the two-car garage, you’ll find peace and privacy.
The two-story home has 3,486 square feet with four bedrooms and three and one-half baths. The focal point of the first floor is certainly the glass staircase that practically tiptoes to the sky. Thankfully a nearly-invisible glass rail is there to guide you on your stairway [to heaven. Sorry, couldn’t resist.] The floating stairs look out onto the impressive private courtyard and the open great room with kitchen, dining, and living areas.
The gourmet kitchen features custom cabinetry, Bertazzoni appliances, unique quartzite countertops, and a large island. Tasteful finish selections including the Waterfall Silver Flow stone effect tile on the first floor and white oak flooring on the second floor, which add warmth to this the sleek home, Ericsson says.
Under the stairs, there’s a cozy sitting area for smaller gatherings, or you can relax and socialize in the large living area situated at the front of the home. The floor plan offers a lot of flexibility here if you want more of a den by the kitchen.
The flexibility extends to the bedrooms in this home as well. Of the four bedrooms total, two are primary suite-sized — one upstairs and one downstairs, both with spa like baths and abundant closet space.
Of course, this up-and-coming East Dallas neighborhood — situated between Lower Greenville and Skillman — is a stone’s throw from patio restaurants, grocery stores and retail on Lower Greenville and Lakewood, Ericsson says. Lots to do here. Only if you’re willing to tear yourself from your own private patio that’s the hottest spot in town as far as you’re concerned.
