![]() ![]() This pic lets you know your clothes won’t feel short-changed on space either. With a 2,500-square-foot, two-bedroom home, you knew the closets had to be large. Heck, you’re at the end of a block, why the window shade? Let’r all hang out! It’s also got a large window opposite the bathtub and walk-in shower. The second bath is more my style, with a crisper, more modern feel. You can just make out the top of the marble, which at nine feet tall, gives a hint at the tallness of the ceilings. Marble, wood, and granite along with a vessel bathtub. One of the two bathrooms is pure residential. The top pic is taken from the back of the house where you can see the secondary garage entrance (you can fit a lot of cars at this house). The lot has a point (because of the curve of Turtle Creek) that is also what gives this end-unit its outdoors. (Yes, I know I’ve been talking a lot about being festive in this house, but it fairly begs for friends to come over.) And being in the Design District, no one’s going to complain about a weekend blowout. In summer, you can watch the sweat-stained cyclists on the trail as you splash around, inciting envy.īeyond the pool deck, there’s another garage space that would be perfect for an outdoor kitchen, ice house, or garage band space for summer parties. The fence to the right is see-through, providing an expansive view. Yes, that’s a poolside fireplace you see. Speaking of the pool, it’s a secret oasis in the Design District. Note: you either like the white/gray palette or not. With the kitchen and dining room part of the same space plus the pool steps away, weekend pool parties are yours to throw. The living room has plenty of volume to feel both homey and wide-open for entertaining. That one lower cabinet at right is the only lower that’s not a drawer (I like drawers). Bonus points to who also noticed the number of drawers. With all the parties I’d want to throw, I might need to slap a big wine fridge next to the orchid (those two bottles next to the stove are never gonna cut it). As you can see, it’s got all the mod-cons. I know, it’s eerily straight lines seem unnatural, but nope. Being a commercial building, they’re HIGH.īefore you ask, yes, that’s natural stone on the counters. This picture looks a little washed out because of the light pouring into the space. The wall of windows in the lead picture is in back of the photographer. Once you get inside, you’re in the large living, dining, and kitchen room. The second indent you see is the pool that all faces the bike trail and Turtle Creek. Beyond you can see the carport and there’s a two-car garage accessed from the rear of the building. ![]() There’s a plain door and a garage door with a few parking spaces out front. Pulling up to the front gives nothing away. Sure, you share a block with Texas Hardwood Flooring and Southwest Sanitary, but you also have Smith Limousine and Pegasus City Brewing (who you’ll definitely want to make friends with). If you need a gym, the Verandah Club is literally a block away. If you’re a Trinity Groves foodie, you’re two blocks from Sylvan, which will deliver you to its doorstep. It’s for someone who wants to be near everything but with ghost town emptiness in the evenings and weekends.Īs I said, if you work in the Medical District or anywhere in the Design District, you could almost walk to work. It’s industrial, but it’s very residential with a pool, grassy backyard, and borders Turtle Creek. What makes this property great is the mix. I remember touring old fire stations to renovate in Chicago (as all gay boys do) and I even had my eye on a three-quarter acre parcel in the Design District – 25 years before I moved here! I remember a time when I’d have pulled out my checkbook for a home like this. Very private, very quiet, very park-like. Sure, you can work here, setup an office or showroom, but as you’ll see, whyyyyyyyy? It’s a more practical 2,500 square feet with two bedrooms and two bathrooms listed for $699,995 with Paige Whiteside from Coldwell Banker Residential (also the property’s owner). Like most semi-industrial property, there’s a lot of space, but unlike a lot of places in warehouse areas, not a gigantic amount. It’s at the end of a small street next to the un-glamourous tail of Turtle Creek and the Trinity Strand Bike Trail (nifty). But then again, 2292 Vantage is just west of the Anatole and a smidge further along I-35E in the Design-ish District. It’s not often you see a single-story residential property with an MU-3 zoning classification (Multi-Use). ![]()
