    Creekside Living

    Buyers are bound to fight over this East Dallas home if only for the view

    Jennifer Chininis
    Jun 12, 2015 | 11:57 am

    With a few exceptions, Dallas doesn’t have much in the way of homes with a view. Which is why this creek-side property, which hits MLS on June 12, surely will go quick.

    Located at 4224 Briar Creek Ln., just off Mockingbird Lane east of Abrams Road, the 1969 house takes full advantage of its location. It’s easy to imagine having a glass of wine with girlfriends on the expansive back deck that overlooks the creek, or taking a walk — kids and dog in tow — on the path along the water.

    I say easy to imagine because I may have shared a glass of wine or two on the deck with the owner, Phyllis Cole McKnight, the former chief innovation officer for CultureMap. She hosted myriad happy hours and holiday parties for CultureMappers and our former colleagues from D Magazine in that house, creating lasting memories and life-long friendships.

    Phyllis also raised her triplets in that house, evidence that it’s as much a family home as it is an entertainer’s. More evidence: a giant playroom off the kitchen and living room, where those kids had free rein. Not a bad way to grow up.

    Listed with Christy Berry of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s for $842,000, the home has 3,550 square feet, four bedrooms and four baths. An architect built it to live in himself, and it feels a bit like a lodge, with wooden beams, bountiful built-ins in a library-like area off the living room and two stone fireplaces.

    One of those fireplaces is in the master bedroom, which also has creek views. The master bathroom has been totally updated with a huge, marble-topped vanity; two vessel sinks with contemporary faucets; and a walk-in shower with rainhead fixture.

    Sure, the kitchen could use some updates, but the location, not the kitchen, is what will win over buyers. Or the chance to create their own memories with family and friends in that cool house by the creek.

    This East Dallas family home overlooks a creek.

    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.
