You Don’t Have to Be Daredevil Climber Alex Honnold to Live on Top of the World

If you were one of the millions holding their breath as Alex Honnold ascended Taipei 101 last weekend, you probably remember a few things. Beyond the sweaty palms, racing pulses, and can’t look away moments, the views made for must-see TV. As the world’s most iconic climber ascended 101 stories above Taiwan’s capital, we were reminded why high-rises are so breathtaking.

As one of the most architecturally significant cities in the world, Dallas has its own share of incredible skyscrapers. From Reunion Tower to Fountain Place (and yes, Dallas City Hall), our skyline is as unique as it is impressive. Which brings us to One Arts Plaza.

For this week’s Inwood Home of the Week sponsored by Inwood National Bank, we’re highlighting a rare opportunity to live on top of the world.

This four-bedroom, five-bathroom, 5,105 square-foot listing brings Alex Honnold views to the safety of your living room.

As the largest unit among 60 other residences, this high-rise home offers next-level luxury living. Upon entering, you’re immersed in some of the best views Dallas has to offer. With an open floor plan, this home is not only conducive to entertaining, but it also promotes panoramic experiences. With two spacious terraces totaling 1,104 square feet, this is one of only two residences with spectacular views on three sides, viewing Downtown, Fair Park, and sunrise.

“This is a stunning unit,” said listing agent Robby Sturgeon with Compass. “There’s no other condo in Dallas like it. With the way it’s positioned at the end of the building, the views are outstanding and across its two 1,200-foot balconies.”

Among the main gathering spaces, a family room, a formal living room, and a sitting room set the scene for relaxation. Abutted with a balcony and adorned with a wet bar, the communal wing inspires sophisticated gatherings.

Of course, the Bulthaup kitchen concept is easily accessible and at the pinnacle of professional grade. Here, a massive waterfall eat-in island, high-end appliances, and custom cabinetry create a culinary paradise. For the coinsurer, this home includes a glass 2,500-bottle wine room that could compete with the iconic Crown Block collection at Reunion Tower.

For those who’d rather climb into bed than scale a building, the primary suite views provide a perfect backdrop. Here, exquisite inlaid flooring, walls of glass, and 11-foot ceilings set an otherworldly tone.

Then, the ensuite bathroom combines regal walnut accents with sleek tilework to create an elegant spa escape. All of the amenities are present for the perfect experience day and night. However, the handsome walk-in closet might actually be the highlight of this space.

As far as the standout features go, this unit is replete with wow factors. From the stately office space to the second terrace with outdoor kitchen, this property is beyond luxury in its livability.

Of course, the property itself offers an abundance of perks as well. The major amenities include a heated rooftop pool, fitness center and clubhouse, 24-hour valet with covered porte-cochere, doorman and concierge, and a private lobby entrance for residents.

Lastly, the proximity of One Arts Plaza puts you in the mix of the city’s premier restaurants, performance centers, and museums.

If you’re looking for the most elegant way to say you’ve made it to the top, put this property at the apex of your list.
