This week’s Highlight Home of the Week, sponsored by Lisa Peters, Senior Loan Officer with First Horizon is a bold modern new construction near Henderson Avenue. For lovers of the genre, finding a new single-family residence in this walkable city neighborhood is a unique opportunity indeed.
Built by architect Robert Ting, this eye-catcher forms an L-shape over a sizable lot using black roman-sized brick and black mortar to stunning effect. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is apparent immediately. The unique construction stands out on the street and the curb appeal is immense. I love the contrast of the geometric pattern of the windows on the second level compared with the banks of glass on the first level.
The open living area is beautifully lit, both naturally through sliding banks of glass accessing the pool-ready yard, and via technology through a smart Lutron lighting system. White oak flooring keeps the space bright, open and welcoming. The cut-out wall with WiFi-connected electric fireplace creates a perfect centerpiece for your living space.
The kitchen is likewise a culinary playground, with sleek custom cabinetry that complements the oak flooring beautifully. The jumbo quartz waterfall island is truly a showpiece, providing seating for casual dining or conversation. A paneled refrigerator and top-tier appliances round out this dream kitchen package — not to mention that backyard view. And don’t forget the incredible pantry and prep area behind the kitchen!
This generous home comprises three bedrooms and three and a half baths, with all the bedrooms upstairs. The bedrooms include dual Owner’s suites, one on either end of the home. You can see from the images below the elegant simplicity of these spacious retreats. The primary baths have mosaic tile floors, dual vanities with quartz countertops, and free-standing soaking tubs with overhead skylights.
The back patio and yard are ready for outdoor living at its finest — the perfect backdrop for an elegant evening or a fun barbecue. Black Tejas rock ground cover artfully transitions between the structure and the grass, ready for your master gardener’s eye, or beautiful in its simplicity as is. The sprinkler system, as all the systems in the home, is set up to WiFi, and ready for your smartphone.
We wrote last week about the advantages of living near Henderson, with shopping, restaurants, nightlife, and lifestyle all within walking distance. Realtor Brandon Stewart pointed out that much of the development in the area has been townhomes or even duplexes, so this new construction home is an opportunity. Not just to own a home, but a true architectural gem.
“The craftsmanship is exceptional. I’ve walked a million spec homes, and true craftsmanship can often get sacrificed. This home took a long time to build, but it is nothing less than perfect,” said Stewart.
