Uptown Dallas home boasts a $2 million dollar view — and it's worth every penny

Every neighborhood has "that house." You know, the one that neighbors all know about because they walk by it every day and stop to admire it. Well, for Uptown's State Thomas neighborhood, that house is the majestic property located at 2206 Boll St., which has officially hit the market for a whopping $2,250,000.

The first thing that sets this property apart from others in the neighborhood is its size. The three-story home boasts 4,731 square feet. There are two bedrooms and three bathrooms, with the entire third floor being the master suite — but this isn't your typical master suite.

It features high ceilings, a million dollar view from a private balcony, and a double-sided fire place that also services the master bath. His-and-her vanities ensure that no time is wasted getting ready for the many parties that you are sure to throw, given that the home is an entertaining gem.

For starters, the kitchen flows comfortably into first a dining room and then a living room. There are three living areas, so any occasion can be as grand or as intimate as you'd like. There's also an 8-inch copper-plated horseshoe bar with a Hoshizaki ice machine and a service window that is accessed by the second-floor pool deck. Speaking of the outdoor entertaining space, it features a stainless-steel vessel pool, a hot tub, and a swim spa that is ideal for water workouts.

Other features to note include a three-car garage, Viking appliances, and an overall unique design by the late architect and designer Mark Shekter. However, at the end of the day, what makes this a multimillion dollar listing are the views that are second to none in this neighborhood.

"Take a deep breath prior to opening the elevator door to the rooftop, because the view will literally take your breath away," says Allie Beth Allman & Associates agent Debra Williams, who is presenting the listing with fellow agent Gailya Silhan. "It's an unobstructed corner to corner look at the Dallas skyline that will be the talk of the town."

Goodland Grand Prairie

The City of Grand Prairie is growing fast and expanding to make way for a new master-planned development south of US Highway 287 and along Tollway 360, in Ellis and Johnson counties.

The community development, called Goodland, is the result of Grand Prairie’s recent 1,500-acre annexation extending its southern border toward Mansfield. Overall, with the added land, Goodland will be a 5,000-acre site featuring 15,000 residences including townhomes, custom homes, and gated communities for 50,000 residents.

According to a release, it will be a “city within a city” and a 45-minute drive from Dallas-Fort Worth. Beyond housing, there will be shops, restaurants, schools, public and private event venues, regional sports fields and complexes, dance halls, churches, trail systems, city parks, ponds, and preserved green spaces.

“This is a significant step in our city’s development,” says Grand Prairie Mayor Ron Jensen in a statement. “Unlike many of our neighboring cities, we have the unique advantage of new development opportunities to our south that will drive the growth and prosperity of our city. We recognized the opportunity and took decisive action.”

Leading the development is Provident, a Dallas-based real estate firm that has created other master-planned communities across Dallas-Fort Worth, such as Preston Hollow Village and Hillstead in Collin County. Provident has plans to work nature into the space design with more than 1,600 acres of creek corridors and floodplain land.

Plans are ongoing for a centralized mixed-use walkable Town Center, complete with civic buildings and other commercial development. Further south on the property near Highway 67, light industrial uses and other private employment campuses are already underway, projects that will contribute vital tax dollars for city growth and future expansions.

“This level of placemaking is quite rare, and certainly not easy to execute, especially in a brand-new community," says Provident Managing Director Rylan Yowell in a statement. "We are committed to a long-term vision with a desire to be good stewards of the land."

A new four-lane road called Goodland Parkway will link Goodland to Grand Prairie at Tollway 360 and US Highway 287. It's set to open by December 2025.
