    LEED The Way

    Efficient University Park spec home doesn't sacrifice style for sustainability

    Green living and earth-friendly updates are real estate buzz words, but few homes go all out when it comes to truly innovative improvements. This new 5,056-square-foot home at 4428 Greenbrier Dr., listed for $1,798,000 by Ebby Realtor Victoria Barr de Quinones, offers impressive LEED qualifications.

    Designed to minimize energy usage, it features a foam exterior building envelope, Pella windows that reduce solar heat gain, variable speed HVAC, and more. All this energy efficiency recently resulted in electric bills of $198 to $257 per month to keep this home at a constant 72 degrees throughout the fiery Texas summer.

    It's also a spec home, so builder Nest Homes is ready to make any changes a buyer may want. And should the new homeowner want official LEED certification, the builder is happy to apply for that too.

    In addition to its energy perks, the four-bedroom, three-bath home boasts a modern interior packed with high-end amenities.

    There's a “cloud ceiling” that appears to float over the kitchen island and connects with a cabinet wall, bringing visual separation from the dining area for a contained but thoroughly open kitchen. The recessed LED rope lighting brightens and focuses the eye to the space, and, bonus, LED means you won’t be changing bulbs for at least 10 years.

    Off the kitchen with its wealth of gadgetry is the less formal family room, not to be confused with the bonus/play room in the rear of the home on the second floor. A bank of French doors leads out to the covered patio, which could become an outdoor entertaining space if the builder continues the travertine flooring.

    Bathrooms sell homes, and the master is grand with wood floors; backlit mirrors; and graphic stone tile, like the chevron pattern in the shower and behind the bathtub.

    Natural materials are used throughout to enrich the home, including travertine tile on the ground floor, birch flooring upstairs, Brazilian chestnut walls in the study and great room, and yards of maple in the cabinetry.

    Modern technology, of course, hasn’t been ignored. The home’s main systems, including HVAC, lights, and alarms, can be programmed remotely, adding a little control to your hectic life.

    Home For Sale

    Once-in-a-century 3-acre estate for sale in Dallas' Preston Hollow

    A once-in-a-generation estate has hit the market in Dallas' Preston Hollow neighborhood. Located at 9511 Inwood Rd., the home is being offered for sale for the first time in more than a century, having remained under the stewardship of the same family since at least 1940 when the current home was built.

    Situated on nearly three acres on a corner lot, it's an English-style estate surrounded by century-old hardwoods and manicured landscaping, creating a private sanctuary in the middle of the city.

    There's a main residence, guest quarters, and two workshops, one featuring a rail-mounted hoist and enhanced electrical systems.

    Listed for $7,500,000, the home has 4,675 square feet with four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and a five-car garage.

    The property is free from both floodplain and historic designation, allowing a buyer to remodel, rebuild, or (ugh) subdivide. It also has three curb cuts — two on Inwood Road and one on Park Lane — with the possibility of a posh Park Lane address.

    It's also zoned for horses and other animals, and a perimeter privacy wall can be added.

    According to listing agent Andrea Childress with The Agency Dallas, the property was originally known as Sunnyslope Estate, and was developed more than 100 years ago by oilman M.H. Marr, who was searching for a place to settle with his family when he discovered the tract of land on what was then the edge of Dallas and is now in the heart of Preston Hollow.

    Marr's wife, Adah Yale Marr, was known for her prominent social presence, entertaining various figures and hosting business gatherings with Dallas families like the Hunts, Meadows, and DeGolyers among their guests.

    Childress calls it "more than just a listing—it’s a landmark."

    "Properties like this simply don’t exist anymore, especially with this kind of acreage, location, and legacy,” she says.
