    Adult Treehouse for Sale

    This chic creekside contemporary is the coolest home for sale in Lakewood

    Diana Oates

    I am an old soul. And that carries over into my preferences when it comes to real estate. I am a sucker for a timeless traditional and go weak in the knees for a preserved Colonial. With all that said, this modern home at 6863 Carolyncrest Dr. in Lakewood is so special that I have been tempted to put an offer in on it on multiple occasions.

    The location, the lot, the landscape. There is nothing this property doesn't have. Except maybe new owners to maximize its party potential.

    From the moment you examine the interesting exterior, you know you are in for a treat. The curb appeal comes largely from the chic black-and-white exterior, aided by a striking set of double doors. When you walk inside, you immediately glimpse the outdoors, which is visible from almost every room. But even this foreshadowing cannot prepare you for the oasis that awaits in the backyard.

    Listed at $1,099,000, the 3,150-square-foot home itself was taken to the studs and renovated in 2018. Design details like herringbone wood floors in the entryway and a sleek floating staircase instantly catch attention.

    The chef's kitchen also turns heads with its luxury finishes that include a large island, six-burner gas cooktop and grill, and a most-practical breakfast nook. The whole space opens to the rest of the downstairs living and dining areas, which makes entertaining effortless.

    The sleeping setup features a highly desirable downstairs master that has a bathroom with incredible views of the pristine backyard. The floating tub and the gold hardware are timeless yet on-trend for 2019. There is also a downstairs guest room that has access to a full bathroom. The remainder of the bedrooms are upstairs, and a large landing at the top of the stairs can act as a game or media room.

    Now for the best part. The backyard is the most beautiful big-city escape I have seen in a while. It instantly transports you to somewhere far, far away. Maybe the Texas Hill Country?

    The tiered deck was constructed to optimize use of the grounds, which overlook a creek. Now all it needs is an infinity pool.

    Thanks to Carolyncrest Drive being a semi-circle of a street tucked behind Lakewood Elementary, you get the benefit of being seconds from the highly rated school without having to deal with traffic commotion that plagues other nearby streets. It's also near White Rock Lake, hike and bike trails, and Mockingbird and Lakewood shops and restaurants, with an easy commute to downtown. Overall, if this home were getting a report card, it would earn straight As.

    And with veteran listing agent Scott Jackson swooping in to sell it, there's no doubt it will be sold in a week or two.

    6863 Carolyncrest Drive is for sale and is being offered at $1,099,000.

    Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer lists McKinney mansion for $3.8M

    Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer is selling his home at 6101 Crystal Cove Ct. in McKinney.

    Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer is fielding offers for his estate in McKinney. Listed at $3.8 million, Schottenheimer’s 5,751-square-foot, custom-built home sits on a heavily wooded one-acre lot in master-planned Stonebridge Ranch.

    Tucked behind a secluded cul-de-sac, the GG Cain-built stone facade home, at 6101 Crystal Cove Ct., is a stone’s throw from Gray Branch Creek.

    Fitting for a football coach, the one-acre lot is nearly the size of an NFL regulation field, but arranged differently.

    “Inspired by the Texas Hill Country and finished to resort-level standards, this home has never been publicly offered for sale. There is nothing else like it in McKinney,” says the listing, offered by Carrie Himel of Compass’ sports and entertainment business.

    A private front courtyard with a tranquil fountain greets visitors upon arrival at the four-bedroom, five-bathroom estate, built in 2021. Once visitors step inside, they’re treated to soaring ceilings and walls of glass.

    “The chef’s kitchen is both a statement and a gathering place, featuring custom cabinetry, elevated finishes, a butler’s pantry, and a designer-tiled built-in bar that is equal parts function and showpiece,” says the listing.

    The primary suite doesn’t disappoint, offering a spa-caliber bath, a soaking tub, separate vanities, a walk-in shower, a custom closet, and a private outdoor shower.

    Outdoors you’ll find an infinity-edge pool, a yoga and relaxation garden, a grassy dog run, and pet fencing.

    Other features include:

    • Dedicated movie room (perhaps where Schoettenheimer sometimes huddles with players to watch film)
    • Private office
    • Lodge-inspired flex living space
    • Three-car garage and extended parking

    “This is not just a home,” the listing says. “It is an experience. A private retreat. A place that feels like a vacation every single day.”

    Team owner Jerry Jones hired Schottenheimer as the Cowboys’ head coach in 2025 following two seasons as offensive coordinator. A 29-year NFL coaching veteran, Schottenheimer has football in his genes. His late father, Marty Schottenheimer, and one of his uncles, Kurt Schottenheimer, collectively spent more than 40 years as NFL coaches.

    Brian Schottenheimer shared the McKinney home with his wife, Gemmi, and their two children: Sutton and Savannah, but no longer live there, according to a Compass spokesman. (The home was briefly under contract, but reports that it sold were incorrect, the spokesman adds.)

    The family moved out so Schottenheimer could live closer to AT&T Stadium in Arlington and the Cowboys’ headquarters in Frisco. Their Frisco home is 18 miles northeast of the Boys’ HQ in Frisco, or the equivalent of about 260 end-to-end football fields.

    Although the Schottenheimers don’t lead a wild life, they’ve spotted their share of wildlife on their property. Last year, for instance, an owl swooped into the house on an apparent hunt for some unwelcome snakes.

    Schottenheimer, who was away from home at the time, recalled the kerfuffle in an interview with ESPN:

    We’re not very outdoorsy people and so [my son] wasn’t really quite sure what to do, so he called my soon-to-be nephew … and the two of them together, Frick and Frack, tried to figure it out. They couldn’t do it. All they did was p*** it off. And so … in typical coaching fashion, I called my wife and I said, “Honey, I’m going to stay at the condo tonight, you got this.” But they got the owl removed. The owl … returned to its safe domain. But you can’t make this stuff up, man. So, it’s real.

    And who dealt with the owl?

    “They called animal control,” Schottenheimer said. “A gentleman came with a net, like a pool net. I might have to look at that as another job. Just kinda become an animal control guy. I’m so experienced now with wildlife in and around Dallas. Can’t make it up.”
