Grapevine Contemporary Offers Treetop Views With Mountaintop Feel
Share News:
Feeling on top of the world is a daily reality at the home found at 3028 Mountainview Ct. in Grapevine.
The street it’s built on tells a lot. Perched high above Northeast Tarrant County, this home on Mountainview Court offers sweeping treetop views that stretch across the horizon. It doesn’t look or feel like Texas, that’s for sure.
“It’s in that one little pocket of Grapevine where the lots are elevated,” said broker Sophie Tel Diaz, owner of Sophie Tel Diaz Real Estate. “You have the view so you can see miles and miles. It’s absolutely amazing.”
Transporting Views
Those views can transport you — mentally at least — to the Texas Hill Country, a Colorado mountain, or a European forest. But here’s the reality: the Mid-Cities location puts the house in the middle of North Texas, with an easy drive to Fort Worth, Dallas or any of Arlington’s entertainment venues. And for those who literally want to fly elsewhere — such as Colorado or the Swiss Alps — that’s easy, too.
“With the privacy and being surrounded by trees, there’s no way you think you’re 10 minutes from the airport,” Diaz said.
This 6,279-square-foot two-story features an elevator and multiple staircases for easy access to its four bedrooms, six bathrooms, one kitchen, a smaller kitchenette, two offices, a formal dining room, a cozy breakfast nook, three fireplaces, a media room, and an exercise room. The home’s hardwood floors tie the open floor plan together on the main level. Windows and high ceilings flood the rooms with light, while the house’s terraces connect the house to the outdoors, featuring the lush landscape.
“It’s contemporary with clean lines,” Diaz said. “It’s very rich, very light, and very bright with a cool floorplan.”
Updates for Today
Built by custom home builder Bailey Draper in 2000, this contemporary has been updated in many special ways, both inside and out. The exterior includes hardscape, tree plantings, pool resurfacing, walkways, and LED lighting. Inside? The updates are numerous. Of course, the paint has been refreshed, but other featured renovations range from Venetian plaster walls to smart thermostats, from water filters to remodeled bathrooms.
The home’s extras complete a lengthy list. Most buyers expect just a kitchen to be renovated, but here everything plus the office got the glam treatment with custom built-ins, a hidden glass whiteboard, and a custom epoxy waterfall desk.
One of the fireplaces is outdoors, making this an entertainment spot for all seasons. So, there’s a pool for the summer and a fireplace for the winter.
Privacy and Convenience
The home sits on more than half an acre within the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District. Besides easy access to the larger cities in North Texas, the house is just minutes from historic downtown Grapevine with all its restaurants, boutiques and outdoor festivals.
Convenience isn’t all this custom contemporary home offers; it comes with loads of modern sophistication and a distinctive setting. This special combo comes with a sales price listed at $2.275 million. Diaz thinks it’s a rare property.
“It is so unique and the views and privacy are completely incredible,” the broker said. “We rarely see homes like this. It’s a diamond we don’t just see.”
