“I like to give each of my listings a name that goes beyond just the address, and it has to be 'Must Love Dogs,'” said co-listing agent Adam Zoblotsky of Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Real Estate.
Take a look at little Dulce relaxing her heart out in the custom-made dog bathtub at 4922 Elsby Ave. posing in Briarwood, and you know, not only is this house next level, but its builder really put some thought into who should live here.
“This is a great house for dogs,” said co-listing agent Janelle Alcantara. “From the pet-friendly lawn in the large backyard with its shade tree to the elevated dog wash just inside the back door.”
This is just one of the many reasons why we selected this stunning new build home for this week's Senior Loan Officer sponsored Highlight Home of the Week Lisa Peters from First horizon.
We think their owners will also enjoy them. Briarwood is a popular and desirable community, both for its beauty and its walking access to some of Dallas' best dining and shopping in Inwood Village. If you didn't grow up going to Celebration to enjoy family-style comfort food, you need to fix that immediately. Or maybe something trendier like Shinsei or Perch? Walkable and dog friendly, people move here and stay.
“I love Briarwood. I’ve lived here for six years,” Zoblotsky said. “The contractor lives here. After building a few houses here, he fell in love and moved in.”
It's simply a stunning introduction to a stunning home. This light wood extends across the first floor and is one of the many advantages of this builder, Jain Luxury Homes. Their background is in luxury hospitality and they have transferred their commercial buying power and expertise into the residential space, creating a different approach to materials and ideas than other builders. So, this wood is a commercial material that is more durable and lasts longer than other types of wooden floors.
Located off the entryway at the front of the house, this beautiful office has three exciting features to note. One of them is the huge panoramic windows that offer beautiful light and views of the street – a pleasant place to work. Next is the incredible accent wall covered in black faux leather. I am literally in love with this wall. Finally, it could be easy to miss, but there is a small door behind the desk. It's a small door, but it leads to a huge storage space. I just love little secrets like this at home.
“It's a mix of fresh, modern finishes toned down to make it really comfortable, almost a coastal feel,” Alcantara said.
And she can't say enough about Jain, the builder.
“[Jain] is great to work with. He builds several houses in Briarwood; he lives here,” she said. “He cares about his product, the neighborhood and the people who will live there.”
The kitchen is a masterpiece: open and airy and equipped with top-of-the-line appliances to provide the home cook with every comfort imaginable. The waterfall island is absolute perfection and I love that there is also a second counter and storage space with a wine fridge on the adjacent wall. Not pictured is a large pantry and a mudroom directly behind the kitchen.
The home has two master suites, and if this home brags about having two master suites, then so be it. You know how you read that sometimes and what you actually get is a master suite and another large bedroom? Not here. Both feature stunning, spacious bedrooms with beautiful spa-like bathrooms. There are even laundry rooms upstairs and downstairs. Your choice depends on your preferred access. On the ground floor, the master bedroom has access to the terrace and outdoor kitchen. Upstairs, the main room has access to the games room and the second living area with a bar leading to the covered terrace.
Either way, you have a first-class facility for guests, a place to live for multiple generations, or a wonderful place for adult children to stay when they come to visit.
The game room has a bar and large French doors that open onto the covered patio overlooking the backyard. This fantastic black accent wall is made with millwork.
Outdoor living is carefully designed and truly luxurious for this part of the city. One of the things about Briarwood is that people love living here so much, but when they move here they usually have to give up a large lot with lots of access to outdoor entertainment. Jain paid particular attention to this in his design, incorporating large terraces on the ground and second floors, an elegant balcony at the front (accessed via the gym) and a large lawn garden – large enough to add and still have a pool plenty of space for a pet or children to play.
The outdoor kitchen has a grill, sink, cooling and warming drawers.
