Step inside this beautifully designed home to discover why the late Tom Greico was one of the most loved architects of Dallas. Designed around a central courtyard, the 1st floor owner & guest suites, office, kitchen, living and dining rooms are privatized yet filled with natural light. Strategic windows frame the tree tops & block the street. A 711 SF garage with windows & quartz floors contains a studio+workshop+electric car charger. Smart home systems automate everything from window shades to the refrigerator. Luxury finishes, appliances and tech added in 2019, make this home move-in ready. The large backyard & spacious side yard are the result of thoughtful site planning. Offers reviewed 8-4-21 at noon.
