Dallas real estate news
Just staring at the blank walls, the clean floors, and the uncluttered countertops at 7023 Casa Loma is soothing. I love imagining how my things would look in a home, freshly unpacked and organized.
How this mansion escaped me, I know not. First of all , I know the owners and they are brilliant, wonderful people who work magic with any home they have touched. And this one, well, this is their masterpiece. How I wish I had $12 million because I would snag this — this Celtic palace! — in a heartbeat! First of all, location: Briarwood, Bluffview, can it get better? I am a total sucker for stone and this home looks like they just shipped an entire Scottish quarry over to the site: wait, I stand corrected. Those are not just STONES, those are BOULDERS meticulously graduated, designed to get larger towards the bottom. So we not only consumed the entire quarry, we hand-picked the rock in it. Architectural design by the brilliant Wilson Fuquay, contractor the famous and oh-so-particular Cy Barcus.
What’s flying off MLS faster than you can say “Hip Pocket Listing?” Modern everything. Midcentury Modern, Contemporary, and plain ol’ modern homes are so in demand right now. What’s even better, especially for 7117 Lyre Lane, is that if it’s remodeled, it fetches top dollar, too.
Val Fenwick, the Virginia Cook agent marketing 10421 Shadow Bend Drive, says this contemporary home in Crest Meadow Estates is “better than new.” To tell you the truth, I often take the little narrative that accompanies most listings with a grain of salt. However, with this home, I couldn’t agree with Val more!
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.
