    This House Rules

    Eye-candy extras crown this $2 million contemporary castle in Coppell

    Candy Evans
    Jun 28, 2018 | 10:50 am

    Industrial contemporary meets organic in the architectural design of a truly original Coppell house that's hit the market for $1.995 million. It’s a custom three-story creation on almost an acre, where attention to detail and creative style choices create something one-of-a-kind.

    From the moment you step onto the drawbridge walkway, crossing over the fishpond, you know you have arrived at 413 E. Bethel School Rd. Just on the other side of the 750-pound powder coated metal “speakeasy” door, the magic begins.

    “The homeowners built this as their dream house and they’ve been the only owners,” said Cathy O’Toole, one of the listing agents with the O’Toole Levan Group of Ebby Halliday Realtors. “The most unique thing is it’s three stories and the whole bottom floor, not including the house structure, is a big storm shelter — you don’t usually get a basement in Coppell.”

    This home has five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, one half-bath, three living areas, two dining areas, an office, and 6,148 square feet. It sits on 0.958 acres, so outdoor living is definitely part of the appeal.

    Cross the threshold and take in the three-story spiral staircase, a showpiece in the entryway that hints at the dramatic and memorable design of the whole house. A custom light fixture of blown glass and industrial pipes cascades through the center of the staircase, spanning all three floors as eye candy. Just off the entryway, a powder room with a hanging countertop of stainless steel, a beautiful stone sink, and a whimsical asymmetrical mirror.

    In the kitchen, find Mennonite cherry wood cabinets, built-in refrigerator, high-end gas cooktop, warming drawer, and concrete counters with a built-in trivet and cutting board. A glass turret next to the window, with colorful glass insets, and a large island with a river sink are the true stars of this kitchen. A breakfast bar offers seating for four, and colorful glass pendants add to the festive space.

    The home has a central vacuum system that makes keeping floors clean a snap. The laundry room is equipped with a desk, sink, and a drip sink with a hand shower. Nearby is a secret closet and a mudroom.

    The family room has a corrugated metal barrel ceiling paired with wood beams, adding to the industrial look. It also has one of three fireplaces in the home, this one with sheet metal surround and glass rocks.

    There are two bedrooms on the main floor, the master and one of the four secondary bedrooms. The master has tall wood-beamed ceilings and a lovely view of the backyard.

    Stepping into the ensuite bathroom, you will see a unique floor treatment of broken tile patterned after a New Orleans restaurant, as well as maple Mennonite cabinetry, a deep bathtub, and a multi-head shower that is also a steam room. An oversized master closet and cedar closet have a pass through to one of two laundry rooms in the home.

    The secondary bedroom on the main floor is handicap accessible, with large doorways and handrails in the ensuite bathroom.

    Upstairs has a study, guest bedroom, bathroom, and tons of storage.

    Traveling down two floors to the walkout basement, there are two more bedrooms and bathrooms and a common computer area with an artful partition to keep the space open. The contemporary game room is the hub of the action in the home. The second laundry room, flanked by an exercise room, can be found in the basement.

    The four-car garage is a sight to behold. From metal sheeting and custom ink on the electrical cabinet, to the built-ins and pristine flooring, this garage is a pretty sweet spot.

    Eco-friendly features of the house include a 16+ SEER AC, foam insulation, low E windows, radiant barrier, tankless water heater, and tinted windows. This home also boasts a backup generator, an irrigation well, smart lighting, and surround sound.

    The backyard is a fabulous space. Step outside to see the outdoor dining area with built-in grill, fireplace, and a diving pool highlighted by raised glass fountains, wonderful views, and native Texas landscaping.

    hottest zips

    Surprising Dallas neighbor ranks among hottest ZIP codes in U.S.

    Lavon, Texas
    City of Lavon/Facebook
    Movers are loving Lavon for its small-town feel and proximity to the big city.

    A recent analysis of American relocation trends has revealed the small city of Lavon outside Dallas was one of the top five hottest ZIP code for movers nationwide in October 2025.

    Lavon's 75166 ZIP code ranked No. 5 on MovingPlace's new list ranking the U.S. cities with the highest number of new movers per 1,000 current residents during the month of October.

    According to the study's data, 961,650 moves took place across the nation last month. Lavon (population: 13,800) saw 10.8 moves per 1,000 residents in October, the fifth highest moving rate out of all U.S. cities.

    Lavon is located 32 miles northeast of Dallas in Collin County. It was praised as a highly sought-after locale for movers who want to live somewhere affordable outside Dallas while still reaping the benefits from a community with a small-town feel.

    The report also added that Lavon's 75166 ZIP was the No. 1 hottest ZIP code in September, but relocations dipped 7.7 percent from September to October.

    "When looking at the top ZIP codes in each state, it’s clear that less populated ZIP codes often show dramatic month-over-month increases, sometimes exceeding 100 percent," the report said. "Larger cities, by contrast, maintain consistently high move volumes without extreme spikes, because their larger populations dampen the impact of individual moves."

    These are the top 10 hottest U.S. ZIP codes based on moves per capita in October:

    • No. 1 – 78616 in Dale, Texas
    • No. 2 – 34987 in Port Saint Lucie, Florida
    • No. 3 – 37228 in Nashville, Tennessee
    • No. 4 – 80019 in Aurora, Colorado
    • No. 5 – 75166 in Lavon, Texas
    • No. 6 – 32461 in Inlet Beach, Florida
    • No. 7 – 10004 in New York, New York
    • No. 8 – 43137 in Lockbourne, Ohio
    • No. 9 – 30346 in Atlanta, Georgia
    • No. 10 – 78656 in Maxwell, Texas

    The hottest U.S. ZIP codes by total move volume
    Five Texas ZIPs ranked among MovingPlace's separate analysis of the top 10 hottest U.S. ZIP codes based on total move volume.

    McKinney's ever-popular 75071 ZIP code ranked No. 5 on the list after gaining 298 new residents last month, only 72 residents shy from No. 1-ranking Washington, D.C.'s new resident count.

    This North Dallas suburb also previously ranked as the No. 8 most popular ZIP for movers during the first five months of 2025.

    The report said McKinney's most attractive qualities are its safety, its high-performing schools, and its proximity to outdoor recreational activities. it also helps that the suburb consistently ranks as the No. 1 hottest housing market in America, and it frequently tops lists comparing the best cities for renters or the most affordable cities in the U.S.

    The top 10 hottest American ZIP codes in October based on total move volume were:

    • No. 1 – 20002 in Washington, D.C.
    • No. 2 – 78130 in New Braunfels, Texas
    • No. 3 – 78641 in Leander, Texas
    • No. 4 – 77433 in Cypress, Texas
    • No. 5 – 75071 in McKinney, Texas
    • No. 6 –32256 in Jacksonville, Florida
    • No. 7 –77493 in Katy, Texas
    • No. 8 – 85142 in Queen Creek, Arizona
    • No. 9 – 98052 in Redmond, Washington
    • No. 10 – 28269 in Charlotte, North Carolina
