Share News:
In a market where a cookie-cutter house often comes with a premium price tag, here’s a house that’s a little like a cold front in August. It’s unbelievable, welcomed, and exciting.
The home at 9008 Reata West Dr. in Benbrook is a rare find. It’s a custom garden home, loaded with extras. Priced at $475,000, this home feels like a high-end find with a down-to-earth price tag.
“All the stuff you’d expect in a million-dollar home, the homeowners put into it,” said listing Realtor Tom Jung, with Tom’s Texas Realty Group at DIY Realty. “It’s over the top.”
Fine Features
The custom extras are immediately noticed. The double front doors, specially created of heavy wood, set the tone for the entire house. Just open them to view all the high-end extravagances inside the 2,490-square-foot house.
Fine features such as hand-scraped hardwood floors, real wood cabinetry, elegant crown molding, plantation shutters, solid core doors and a gourmet kitchen are rarely found in homes priced under half a million dollars. The primary suite is an elegant retreat, offering a spa-like refuge. Need proof? The walk-through shower features six sprayers and a rain head featuring an upgraded walk-through shower with multiple body sprayers for an amazing experience.
“They shower is like a car wash in there,” Jung said. “It’s got six body sprays. It’s crazy.”
The house, designed with a soft Tuscan style, contains three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with one of those bedrooms holding a special surprise. A custom-built playhouse or oversized dollhouse, built with the same quality as the home itself, can be negotiated with the home’s sale. The open floorplan allows the living areas to connect inside the house and also open out to an outdoor kitchen, a stylish spot for entertaining family and friends.
See It Sunday
This garden home’s location makes it all the more interesting for anyone looking for a low-maintenance lifestyle. It’s part of the gated garden community of Reata West, which offers easy access to major highways, shopping and dining, all while providing a private, single-story retreat for the North Texas buzz.
“It’s one of those communities that’s overlooked,” the Realtor said of the Benbrook neighborhood.
Within the past year both the hot water heater and the HVAC have been replaced in this home built in 2007. Built with style and priced to move, this unique home will be open for viewing 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday.
“It’s over the top,” Jung said. “I think it’s for somebody who appreciates nice things. Typically, you don’t find it in this price point.”
