Architect's Beautiful Creekside Home For Sale - Dallas

Posted by Stacy Blakeley at August 12. 2005


The Wisteria House, as it is known by neighbors is for sale in North Dallas. Just under 100 feet of Wisteria vines create an amazing canopy along the saltillo tiled front porch. Dirwood Pickle, a noted Dallas commercial architect built this home for his family in 1973. The home was inspired by Dirwood's extensive travel to Spain and has a timeless contemporary design. The rooms are expansive with 10 foot ceilings and custom details. Several of the doors were crafted in Spain specifically for this home. Dirwood designed the light fixtures and one of his original paintings stays with the home. The home is built to take advantage of the tranquil, flowing creek that runs directly behind the house. Walls of windows in the living, dining, and breakfast/sun room create a seamless view of the wooded area and creek. Every bedroom has floor to ceiling windows and the master has windows and french doors that lead to the patio, which runs the length of the back of the home. Extensive landscaping, lighting, and updates throughout make this a rare find. Owners have small children and are reluctantly moving to a home with a big back yard. Please let me know if you are interested -- the house is listed with Briggs Freeman. There is a virtual tour on Briggs Freeman.com - 11141 Rosser Road in North/West Dallas.

Just a suggestion:

When posting links to a property you'd like everyone to view please post a direct link to its page, or directions on how to navigate to it, not simply a link the realtor site where we then end up scratching our heads and guessing where the info might be. Is it under new listings? Nope. Special Projects? Nope. Maybe it's under open houses? Nope. Ahhh, it must be under the MLS search. Hmmm...I wonder what search terms I should use? I entered the street name, but I need to enter a price range. No price given, so I'll enter max on both ends. Now, I've found the page, but where, pray tell, is the virtual tour? I see no links on MLS page. Hmm, maybe it's somewhere else on the site. Double checking previous sections. Nope, nothing there. And so on...

Frustrating to say the least.

Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have never used a forum like this and didn't realize how difficult navigating the Briggs Freeman site would be. So here is a link:

http://www.briggsfreeman.com/area_listings.asp?area=16

The house is the first listing in the West Dallas section on the Briggs Freeman site - you can access the virtual tour from there.
The price has been lowered to $698,500 and it has over 4,000 square feet. It is open this Sunday from 2-4.
Hope this helps.
