White house and black roof set the tone. If the black, gray, and white trend is what a homebuyer is looking for, here’s the house. If the listing needs to be under $600,000, here’s the house. If the school district needs to be top-notch, here’s the house.
Open the door at 1914 Overlook Ridge Dr. in Keller. It is anything but vanilla. Don’t look for beige here. Forget the ecru. Skip the almond.
Leaning In
This sleek Keller abode has leaned all the way into the black, white, and gray decorating trend, and the result is not dull. Expect crisp white walls, dramatic charcoal accents, and matte black in this week’s Friday $500,000 property at CandysDirt.com. Expect a stylish spectrum that runs from inky black to snowy white, with 50 shades of gray in between.
“I always start with a neutral base,” said DeeDee Taylor, a Realtor with Century 21 Mike Bowman, who also just happens to be the owner of this chic home priced at $569,000.
White cabinets, white countertops, and a black island allow the blue accents to stand out in the kitchen.
The owner kept the walls neutral in what she calls her “cigar room,” allowing the furniture and accessories to bring the color.
Taylor used to be a designer for the workwear and apparel brand Dickies, and it’s clear she has an eye for it. With a base of neutrals, she can change the look of a room with pops of color on a whim.
“It’s giving it that foundation to incorporate different colors through furniture, décor, or drapery,” she said.
This 2,654-square-foot house was built in 1996 and has been updated for the 2025 lifestyle. The two-story home’s renovations resulted in a style that’s as clear as black and white. Taylor likes black, white, and gray because it accommodates colorful accents that she can change on a whim. At Christmas, she adds greens and gold, but for the fall, she swirls persimmon throughout.

Bringing the Drama
The dramatic staircase steals the spotlight.
The sweeping staircase brings the drama to the foyer. Soaring ceilings, gleaming epoxy floors, shiplap accents, contemporary light fixtures, and a sophisticated black fireplace echo the modern edge in the open living space wrapped up in a smart palette of white, black, and gray. The chef’s kitchen’s white cabinets, quartz countertops, custom backsplash, and dark island tie together beautifully with new stainless-steel appliances.
Upstairs are all four bedrooms in this four-bed, two-and-a-half-bath house. The primary suite offers plenty of space for oversized furniture and includes a spa-style bath with a soaking tub, glass shower, and double quartz vanities. The secondary bedrooms, generously sized with their own stylish touches, share a renovated bathroom that features double quartz sinks and a backlit mirror.

Black, white, and gray are at play in the dining room.
Beach Vibes Outside
Poolside decor encourages conversation amid a beach vibe.
Outside, the sleek, cool style continues. Lush landscaping, which happens to be green like the beaches Taylor loves, surrounds the re-plastered and re-tiled pool and spa. Should the sky turn gray, the covered patio makes a perfect spot to relax — rain or shine.
“I love the different sitting areas,” she said. “It’s a great entertainment area with the banana trees and elephant ears that add a tropical essence.”
The Keller location comes with advantages, too. Access to D/FW International Airport is easy, hitting major Tarrant County highways is simple, and Keller Independent School District is top-notch.
Natural elements add pops of color around the pool.
Deciding whether to buy a home is a pretty black-and-white situation, not a lot of gray. This one, though, can lead to a pretty colorful life.
“I had a vision,” Taylor said. “A good base foundation that’s timeless lets you throw in a good mix of color.”
