Once a standard-issue suburban build, this 1992 Colleyville home now channels the kind of layered luxury and tailored charm that would make Ralph Lauren think he was in some kind of East Coast country house.
The transformation is on display at 1104 Garry Lynne Dr. Once a very nice house in its own right that was previously the builder’s home, it now represents the current owner’s appreciation of antiques, color, and tradition.
Don’t expect the vanilla walls of several decades ago or those gray ones that everyone dipped into a decade ago. Instead, you get the rich, moody tones of blue and green. Highlighting architectural features are crisp white trim and crown molding, just underscoring that Ralph Lauren vibe.
Color-drenched walls in the study give a Ralph Lauren look.
A moody green colors the kitchen island, and classic sconces add some light.

“They’ve reimagined the house,” said Realtor Kim Bedwell of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International. “There’s a lot of attention to detail in it.”

Traditional and Elegant
The current owners’ love of historic design and fondness for collectibles shaped the decisions made for this home’s redesign. The resulting transformation, traditional and elegant, is a style Ralph Lauren himself might endorse.
“We’re seeing across the board that people are wanting timeless,” Bedwell said. Timeless style is what’s found in the details inside this 3,615-square-foot house.
Details were important in the recent remodel of this 1992 house.
The formal living room features detailed millwork, upscale sconces, and a gas fireplace. A double-sided fireplace opens to the family room, painted in deep tones and including built-in bookcases and designer lighting. Adjacent to the family room, the study offers built-in cabinetry and a designated desk area.

It’s a three-bedroom, three-bathroom home, a rare one-story in Colleyville. The heart of the home — the kitchen — combines classic craftsmanship with professional-grade function, featuring an ILVE range, cabinet-paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Perla Venata quartzite island, double ovens, and a walk-in pantry.
“That kitchen has the kind of details you would see in a $5 million home,” Bedwell said.
Dip Into the Backyard
Lush landscape encircles the pool, spa, and patio.
The elegant lifestyle extends to the backyard, too. A pool and spa serve as the centerpiece of the beautiful landscape, accented by a pergola, brick patio, and meandering garden pathways.
Now, a Ralph Lauren aesthetic might require extra space to house trophies, a plaid pillow, or maybe a hobby or two. This property includes a detached, climate-controlled workshop measuring 1,200 square feet. It features electric service, a vehicle lift, a storage loft, and a full workspace. An attached two-car garage offers additional parking.
The garage throws away the preppy vibes for the all-American tradition of tinkering with cars.
Ready for Plaid
Any preppy person worth a navy blazer will see that this house is worth a look. Bedwell predicts a lot of folks will want to move their needlepoint pillows and plaid throws to this address.
“I expect to see a high demand amongst buyers for this property,” Bedwell said.
