If you have a soft spot for modern homes, this Dallas house might be right up your alley. But don’t expect to see much from the street.
“This is one of my favorite homes in the neighborhood,” says listing agent John Weber, with Compass RE Texas. He’s selling this property for the second time and says its privacy is what makes it such a find.
The 2,642-square-foot abode is listed for $1,250,000. And it’s right at home in this community.
“The Urban Reserve was built as a neighborhood of architecturally significant, modern homes,” Weber explains. “Every property had to have been architect-designed, have modern aesthetics, and fit, the look, and feel of the neighborhood … no two homes are identical.”
This three-bedroom, 2.5-bath house was completed in 2016. It’s a one-story home—a design feature that’s attracting interest among buyers, Weber says.
“The home is kind of set up in a C-shape, and the majority of the home all looks out of large windows to the pool, yard space, and patio area,” Weber says. “You’ve got a great connection with the outdoors.”
The nearly quarter-acre grounds include a 40-foot lap pool.
“In Dallas, so many times, you get either a pool or a yard—you don’t get both,” he points out. “This house does have both. You’ve got great entertaining and outdoor space, with a large patio and a big grassy area in the back of the yard.”
The home’s exterior is Accoya wood, a sustainable but pricey material that gives the house a unique look.
“One thing that people love or hate is the front of the house,” Weber acknolwedges. “It’s almost like a shed or barn feel, but that adds to privacy of the home. It’s such a private home, and it reveals itself when you walk in the front door. It’s totally unexpected from what you see on the exterior of the home.”
The minimalist interior design leans heavily on wood and glass.
“It has such a light and bright open feel, as opposed to what the exterior facade conveys with a closed-off feel with no windows,” Weber says. “It’s the very opposite when you walk in.”
He reports that the home’s one-of-a-kind vibe has fueled a lot of interest.
“There aren’t a lot of neighborhoods like this in Dallas that are for the modern lover,” he says. “If you’re looking for French Country, this [house] isn’t your place. You’re coming to this neighborhood because you want modern and love that vibe.”
