Designed by Far and Dang and custom built, this exceptional 2024 home, set on a wide cul de sac lot, is steps from the Katy Trail. The home’s front door is recessed into a striking wall of deep stained Brazilian hardwood, repeated in the home’s art gallery-like entrance. An elevator serves all three floors. Built of enduring materials i.e. metal and Brazilian hardwood, no compromises were made in design and construction. The first floor features a guest bedroom and bath, currently used as a home office, that opens to its own patio. The second floor is all living area with remarkable light coming from floor-to-ceiling North facing windows. Tall ceilings, wide plank white oak floors, and a long outdoor balcony accessed with sliding glass doors for outdoor-indoor living, invites entertaining. Many of the windows have electronic shades and other amenities include built-in Sonos speakers, Ecobee thermostats, and an electric car charging system in the garage. The kitchen was designed for those who cook. There is a large food prep and dining island with a honed stone countertop and a built-in butcher block. The same dark honed stone provides a dramatic ceiling height back splash between the counter tops and stove on the kitchen’s rear wall. Top-of-the-line appliances include Subzero refrigerator-freezer and beverage fridge, KitchenAid dishwasher, Dacor 6-burner gas range and microwave drawer, and a Liebherr wine fridge. A huge walk-in pantry adds lots of additional storage. On the third floor is the primary set in the trees with gorgeous views. The primary bath has a soaking tub, a steam shower and double vanities. A large walk-in closet and utility room complete the suite. A wood paneled hallway leads to a second bedroom and ensuite bath. This elegant, convenient and beautifully built home steps from the Katy Trail, Knox Street and Highland Park is “Best in Class”!
