Real Estate
Seriously, this house could be a set for 2001: A Space Odyssey! Everything is white, white, white, and there’s a “reading tube” that reminds me of several scenes from Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece, but this one particularly strikes a chord!
The home, 16919 Brushfield Dr., was built in 1979, and Kubrick’s 2001 hit theaters in 1968, so it’s doubtful that the architect was inspired by the film. Still, this house is so cool! I love the sunken living room, which is super common for the era. But what sells this house is the natural light. Because there are practically no walls and some cool floor-to-ceiling windows, there is tons of it. You’ll hardly need to flick a switch with all of the windows.
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.
Vivian Morales has joined Clay Stapp & Associates as Director of Operations, effective Friday. Vivian has worked as Rogers Healy’s office manager. That’s four bright, eager new talents down at that Cedar Springs office… like I said, there’s no stopping the Stapp…
That’s Randall Graham, marketing director for Ebby Halliday. I know Steve Habgood was there along with some of the top producers from Ebby’s Little White House, like Linda Callicutt and Hanne Sagalowsky… really great meeting!
You had me at “turret!”
Seriously, though, there is so much to love about this historic home in Plano, called “The Roller House.” There are five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and tons of details inside and out of this Queen Anne three-story!
