Dallas Luxury Real Estate
So, with this recent bout of rain we’ve had, here’s your public service announcement: Drain standing water! Prevent death by mosquito!
There, I said it. If you’re willing to throw caution into the wind, here’s a cute house in University Park not far from several very placid lakes that would require teams of pesticide-spraying trucks to clear of mosquitoes. But, 4115 Caruth Blvd., priced at $899,000 and teeming with charm, is worth the scary spectre of West Nile, no?
Happy first day of school, folks! I know you’re excited to send your boys and girls off to class, so I’ll give you something to read while you’re anxiously waiting to get out of the carpool lane.
Arlington is buzzing, y’all. Marketed as ground zero for North Texas sports, the biggest of the mid-cities could eventually force us to change from D/FW to D/A/FW.
OK, maybe not exactly. Still, it’s a great location for people who want access to both Dallas and Fort Worth but don’t want to sacrifice shopping and amenities (yes, I’m looking at you, Grand Prairie).
Personal taste is such a funny thing. When it comes to gorgeous homes I can’t afford, I feel like my personal taste swings wildly in all directions, and regardless of how different one house can be from the last luxury love affair, I still picture myself moving in.
With my affinity for Craftsman bungalows, modern architecture, and Texas prairie homes, why, oh why am I in love with 7210 Lakewood? The Clifford Hutsell-designed estate doesn’t even remotely fit into any of these categories, and yet there I am, trying to find a spot for my brass-footed dining table and my reading chair.
Sometimes when you put a lot of wood in a home, it starts to feel dark and claustrophobic. Too much custom cabinetry, too much dark wood floors, and too much art, and it starts to feel like the walls are closing in.
That’s why 7118 Elmridge is so refreshing! There’s tons of beautiful wood finishes on this Northwood Hills home, but the high ceilings, which, paired with huge windows, brings in enough light to make it feel cozy and yet spacious.
