Panoramic Views From a Corner Unit in Phillip Murrell’s Favorite Downtown Highrise

A view like that would be a heck of a backdrop to daily life, wouldn’t it? If the view doesn’t give it away, this week’s stunning Highlight Home of the Week, sponsored by Lisa Peters with First Horizon is a corner unit in Dallas’ Arts District’s One Arts Plaza. And I have to agree with listing agent Phillip Murrell when he confessed that this is his favorite downtown highrise, because what a fabulous place to live!

Designed by Lionel Morrison, One Arts Plaza houses 61 luxury residences going from the eighteenth floor to the twenty-fourth floor. This unit is one of only two of its kind — a corner unit with panoramic views. Perched high atop the twenty-first floor, the unit is well placed just one floor above the incredible pool terrace and amenity floor where there’s also a massive fitness center and owner’s party room.

Owners enjoy concierge service, a 24-hour doorman, valet parking, and security service, and each unit has a concierge door for things like package delivery.

Inside, you have modern design, clean lines, and so much light. The Bulthaup kitchen — fitted with Miele appliances, a SubZero fridge, and classic Carrara marble — makes for stunning minimalist function.

Eleven-foot ceilings and museum quality walls make this even more of a showplace, begging for an art collection to match the view. The dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows wrap around two sides, with views of Uptown and East Dallas, and access to the pièce de résistance: the 457-square-foot covered terrace.

“I love that the limestone flooring continues outside to the balcony. It’s a seamless extension from inside to out,” said Murrell.

Imagine the events you could have on this terrace! Pre-show soirées with friends after which you can walk to the theater, opera house, or concert. Meet for drinks before or after dinner at one of the many Arts District restaurants you can walk to just downstairs. And when the guests are gone, enjoying private time on this deck would be a dream: morning coffee, a workout, or a meal al fresco.

The primary suite is equally luxurious. A spacious bedroom with stunning views and balcony access leads to a spa-like bathroom retreat with large-format porcelain tile, soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower. The custom California closet does not disappoint, with plenty of room to display and organize.

With walking access to some of the best of Dallas’ cultural, culinary, and night life, One Arts Plaza is easily the height of downtown highrise living, and this is a rare listing indeed.
