These Two Modernist Properties at Under $750K May Surprise You!
Share News:
This week, I have two dramatically different modernist properties that can be yours for under $750,000.
One is at the legendary 3525 Turtle Creek, a modernist highrise designed by Howard Meyer wrapped with his iconic brise soleil. The other is a cutting-edge cylindrical modernist by one of our hottest architects, Josh Nimmo.
The Outcrop consists of eight modernist properties in Lake Highlands designed by Joshua Nimmo of NIMMO Architecture. They lie within Urban Commons, the latest offering from the completely original Diane Cheatham, who you should remember is responsible for Urban Reserve.
The neighborhood of 80 homes is actually nine individual communities designed by six architects. These eight homes are the jewels in the crown of the neighborhood. The neighborhood is a bit of a throwback concept to having a green space called a commons, which is, well, common in England. The only other place you find this configuration in Dallas is in Greenway Parks.
Who Knew Modernist Properties Could Make Your World go Round?
Nimmo is offering us a completely new way to live in Dallas. These modernist properties are cylindrical! I mean, who isn’t tired of the box?
This home has 2,414 square feet, three bedrooms, a flex space, three-and-a-half bathrooms, and a rooftop terrace. This is truly the most cutting-edge modernist community you will find in Dallas.
Listed by Compass Real Estate‘s Thomas Rhodes, 306 Blackland Ct. is available for $724,900.
Howard Meyer’s Innovative Modernist Highrise
Now, let’s take you into the sky. You cannot miss 3525 Turtle Creek in a sea of high rises because of its unique brise soleil or sunscreen. This is a clever architectural solution to maximize views while minimizing the hot Texas sunlight!
The 22-story building is on the National Register of Historic Places and is one of the few modernist highrises in the country. It was built by Jerome Frank and Edward Dicker in 1957.
There are only 93 luxury units here, and it’s long been the sought-after spot for celebrities. You may not be old enough to remember her, but academy-award-winning actress Greer Garson lived here. Country singer Jimmy Dean and opera singer Blanch Theborn also called this modernist highrise home, and the 1950s teen heartthrob Fabian stayed here when he performed in Dallas.
Apartment 6D has personality plus.
At 2,085 square feet, it has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It’s clearly designed for grand entertaining. I love it when people have the confidence to make bold design choices.
After years of blah grays and whites, we need some excitement, and boy, does this modernist property offer it. It features gold leaf, deep, rich colors, hand-painted finishes, and a lot of whimsey (yes, that’s a monkey welcoming you inside).
Turtle Creek is a fantastic location, minutes from everything you could possibly want to do. Of course, highrise living means carefree, convenient, and secure.
Compass Real Estate agent Denise McClelland Johnson has 3525 Turtle Creek Unit 6D available for $749,900.
The most popular price point for buyers today is between $600,00 and $800,000. I can say that with confidence because when I hunt for properties, what I find on a Tuesday is generally pending by Saturday. But contracts fall through, so there is always hope! Either of these modernist properties is sure to offer you the excitement, drama, and lifestyle you will love.
