“I like to give each listing a name that’s more than just an address,” said Adam Zobrodsky, co-listing agent with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Real Estate. I have to,” he said.
Just look at little Dulcie posing heartily in the custom-built doggy bathroom at 4922 Elsby Avenue in Briarwood, and you’ll see that not only is this home next level, but the builder also knows who’s here. I can see that you are seriously thinking about whether or not you will live there. .
“This is a great home for a dog,” said co-listing agent Janelle Alcantara. “From the pet-friendly lawn in the large, shady backyard to the elevated dog washing station just inside the back door.”
That’s just one of the many reasons we selected this stunning new home for this week’s Highlight Home of the Week, sponsored by Lisa Peters, Senior Loan Officer at First Horizon.
I think the owners will enjoy it too. Briarwood is a well-loved and coveted community, not only for its beauty, but also for its walkability to Dallas’s best restaurants and Inwood Village shopping. If you didn’t grow up eating family-style home-cooked meals, you need to fix that right away. Or maybe something more trendy like new growth or perch? People move here and stay because it’s walkable and dog-friendly.
“I love Briarwood. I’ve lived here for six years,” Zobrodsky said. “A builder lives here. After building a few houses here, he fell in love and moved.”
It’s just a great entrance to a great home. This blonde wood spans the entire ground floor and is one of the many perks of this builder, Jain Luxury Homes. Their background is in luxury hotels, and they bring their commercial buying power and expertise to residential spaces, giving them access to different materials and ideas than other builders. Therefore, this wood is a commercial grade material and is more durable and longer lasting than other types of wood floors.
This lovely office is located right at the front door of the home and has three attractive features to look out for. One is the large windows that provide beautiful light and street views. It’s a very comfortable space to work. Next up is a stunning accent wall covered in black faux leather. I’m literally in love with that wall. Finally, there is a small door behind the desk that is easy to overlook. Although it is a small door, it creates a large storage space. I love little secrets like that in the house.
“It’s a combination of toned-down, fresh, modern finishes that give it a really comfortable, coastal feel,” Alcantara says.
And she can’t say enough about Jane, the builder.
“(Jain) is great to work with. He’s building some houses in Briarwood. He lives here,” she said. “He cares about his product, his community and the people who will live there.”
The kitchen is a masterpiece. Open and airy, it’s packed with top-of-the-line appliances that provide home chefs with every convenience imaginable. The waterfall island is perfect and I love that there is storage space on the adjacent wall with a second counter and wine fridge. Although not shown in the photo, there is a large pantry and mudroom just beyond the kitchen.
This home has two main suites, and when this home boasts of having two main suites, we mean it. I think you read about it sometimes, but what you actually get is a main suite and another large bedroom. Not here. Both feature beautiful, spacious bedrooms and luxurious, spa-like bathrooms. There is also a laundry room upstairs and downstairs. Your choice will be about your preferred access. Downstairs, the primary provides access to the patio and outdoor kitchen. Upstairs, the primary has access to a games room and a second living area with a wet bar leading to a covered terrace.
Either way, we have top-of-the-line amenities for guests, multi-generational living, or a great place for grown children to stay when they visit.
The game room has a wet bar and large glass doors that open to a covered terrace overlooking the backyard. This stunning black accent wall is made with woodwork.
Outdoor living is thoughtfully crafted and truly a luxury in this part of town. One of the things about Briarwood is that people love living here, but when they move here they usually have to sacrifice having a large lot with access to outdoor entertaining space. It doesn’t have to be. Jayne’s design focused on large patios on the first and second floors, a stylish balcony to the front (accessible from the gym), and a grassy garden large enough to accommodate the addition of a pool. Enough garden for pets and children to play.
The outdoor kitchen includes a grill, sink, refrigerator, and warming drawer.
