Some homes are built. This one was considered. Set on a beautifully wooded .43 acre lot and moments from some of Dallas’s most sought after private schools, including Episcopal School of Dallas, Ursuline Academy, Hockaday, and St. Mark’s, this custom contemporary residence was designed around the way people actually live. How light moves through a room in the morning. How a kitchen becomes the center of a Saturday. How a backyard can feel like a private resort. A circular drive leads to a gated front courtyard where a stone walkway and water feature set the tone before you ever reach the front door. Inside, soaring ceilings and walls of glass pull the outdoors in, while bleached red oak floors carry you effortlessly from room to room. The main living area anchors around a fireplace and a fully appointed wet bar complete with a Sub-Zero ice maker and Thermador wine refrigerator, the kind of space that draws people in and keeps them there. The kitchen is serious. A Miele gas range with dual ovens, a Gaggenau steamer, Viking refrigeration, and dual Asko dishwashers give it the bones of a professional kitchen. A generous walk in pantry and mudroom keep daily life organized behind the scenes. Step outside and the saltwater pool, outdoor shower, and full cabana make a case for never leaving home. The outdoor kitchen is fully equipped with a built in grill, ice maker, beverage refrigerator, and sink, so warm weather entertaining requires no trips back inside. Whether it is a quiet Tuesday or a dinner party for thirty, the space adapts without effort.Upstairs, a game room with fireplace and additional ensuite bedrooms round out the layout, while the primary suite earns its title. A private balcony, spa bath with soaking tub, walk in shower, dual vanities, separate closets, and separate water closets. A first floor guest suite, climate controlled wine storage, whole home generator, and a pier and beam foundation complete a home that was built with genuine intention.
