State Thomas. Brick sidewalks, live oaks arching over the street & the largest stand of Victorian homes left in Dallas. The most walkable corner of Uptown, & this one sits in the middle of it. Three levels, two bedrooms, both ensuite, gated parking. Three floors means three zones, so nobody steps over anybody. Street level off State: travertine throughout, guest suite with ensuite bath & walk in closet. Guests get their own floor. Up to the second & it opens. Kitchen on the left: granite, stainless, gas stove, walk in pantry, island with seating, transom windows pulling light all day. Dining in the middle. Living on the right, windows full of live oak. Half bath on the same floor, so guests stay put. Plantation shutters & hardwoods throughout. Third level, hardwoods again. A flex room, nursery today, office or gym tomorrow. Full size washer & dryer in the hall. Then the primary: big, quiet, oak canopy in the windows. Travertine bath with floating double vanity, soaking tub & walk in shower. A closet the size of a bedroom. Then there’s the door in the primary. Most of this city pays cover for a skyline view. This one opens off your bedroom. Step through & Dallas is waiting: 360 degrees, downtown dead ahead, nothing overhead but sky. Sunrise over the towers. Sunset behind them. Fourth of July from your own deck. Six people up here with drinks is a night nobody forgets, & one person up here with coffee is the reason you stay. That terrace is the house. Downstairs, the neighborhood handles the rest. Griggs Park down the block, eight acres, dog in tow. White Rhino for coffee, Parliament for cocktails, State & Allen for brunch, Nodding Donkey for the game. Whole Foods, the Katy Trail, Klyde Warren & the American Airlines Center all on foot. The M Line trolley runs McKinney free to the Arts District. Downtown in minutes. Your first place, or the one you waited to get back to. Lock it & go. Oaks at the door. Dallas on the roof. Everything else inside a ten minute walk.
