High Caliber Home of the Week - Sponsored

Modern Townhome in Turtle Creek Offers Excellent Entertaining

by
4 Comments

If you want to buy a home in the Turtle Creek area, you have a few options. You can choose a high-rise unit, a low-rise unit, or the typical alternative — the three- to four-story townhome. While we like the privacy of townhome options in the Turtle Creek corridor, we have to say that our knees say “nope!” 

Luckily, our High Caliber Home of the Week presented by Lisa Peters of Caliber Home Loans is the perfect compromise. This fresh listing form Missy Woehr of Compass Dallas gives us another alternative in the striking modern at 3275 Gilbert Ave.

“It’s an incredibly rare two-story home, versus the typical vertical townhome that may eliminate many buyers with third- and fourth-floor stairs,” Woehr said. 
 
Plus, the lot gives you plenty of room for a generous outdoor entertaining area that will be popular at your many parties.

Park Cities Historic Preservation Society Home Tour Features 1928 Tudor

by
No Comments

Jack and Kate LaGere found exactly what they wanted when they least expected it. The couple wasn’t intentionally house hunting when they drove by 3524 Saint Johns Drive and spotted the For Sale sign. But after several subsequent walk-throughs and exploring every nook and cranny, the LaGeres knew the 1928 Tudor was a perfect fit with their family and historic vision.

Since Jack and Kate had three small children, they wanted to live within a safe walking distance to an elementary school and playground. Armstrong Elementary is not only across the street from the historic home, the school is Kate’s old alma mater. The house is likewise located on a large corner lot at St. Johns and Byron, which contained plenty of yard space for the active kids to practice sports and play outdoors.

The LaGeres had envisioned finding a classic home they could redesign while preserving its history. The Tudor had endless possibilities.

Park Cities

Design trends come and go, but the timeless architecture at this newly listed Park Cities home will never go out of style. Approaching the stately manor, it feels like you’ve entered the poshest part of Paris thanks to a cast-stone façade, circular stone walkway, and an enchanting fountain that may allure you to throw a penny in over your back every now and again. Don’t be surprised if the impressive exterior causes rubbernecking along Caruth Boulevard, one of the most desirable streets in Dallas. Oui oui, this custom home has attention-grabbing curb appeal and the interiors are equally captivating.

Step into the bright foyer with grand detailing and let a wave of calm wash over you. A sumptuous neutral color palette puts you at ease and huge windows always show a hint of greenery outside, creating a feeling like you’re in a sacred oasis.

After a long day, sink into plush furnishings in the living room or library with a good book, or head to the home theater if you’re in the mood to unwind with a favorite movie. (more…)

Westworth Falls

You needn’t travel more than 20 minutes southwest from town to find a new build with the magnificence of Mira Vista or Montserrat. Only 10 minutes from downtown, near Westover and Shady Oaks Country Club, in the unincorporated town of Westworth Village is the glam gated community of Westworth Falls. Of course, our own Seth Fowler was on this handily located, luxury development at the beginning.

One year hence, there are only a few unbuilt lots left, and some builders such as Toll Brothers, are already winding down their operations here.

Why You Really Want to Pay Attention to What’s Happening in Media

Brokerages unafraid to innovate might have a leg up on brands that still do business the old fashioned way, spending thousands and thousands on print advertising. Take Compass & their re-imagined listing sign you will soon be seeing in Dallas (Photo: Compass)

I know, I know — we are a real estate blog focused on fabulous listings, deals, sleeper neighborhoods, fantastic agents and brokers, disruption in the industry, commissions, marketing your property, property taxes, and basically everything happening in the community that affects real estate values: yours, mine, and everyone’s.

But you simply must pay attention to what’s going on in the newspaper biz.

Many agents and brokers still, for some reason, insist on placing ads for their homes in weekly or daily newspapers despite research that shows it is no longer as effective a means of advertising as it once was. It’s the old school, blue-haired approach and more vitally, does it really help sell your client’s home? I know agents who still photo-copy newspaper articles and send them to me via snail-mail to “share.” 

We live in a digital world, like it or not. And real estate news and information is being consumed digitally. That’s why I thought you would find this article so interesting: (more…)
