White house and black roof set the tone. If the black, gray, and white trend is what a homebuyer is looking for, here\u2019s the house. If the listing needs to be under $600,000, here\u2019s the house. If the school district needs to be top-notch, here\u2019s the house.<\/p>\n

Open the door at 1914 Overlook Ridge Dr. in Keller. It is anything but vanilla. Don\u2019t look for beige here. Forget the ecru. Skip the almond.<\/p>\n

Leaning In<\/p>\n

This sleek Keller abode has leaned all the way into the black, white, and gray decorating trend<\/a>, and the result is not dull. Expect crisp white walls, dramatic charcoal accents, and matte black in this week\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always start with a neutral base,\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

\"\"White cabinets, white countertops, and a black island allow the blue accents to stand out in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

\"\"The owner kept the walls neutral in what she calls her \u201ccigar room,\u201d allowing the furniture and accessories to bring the color.<\/p>\n

Taylor used to be a designer for the workwear and apparel brand Dickies, and it\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s giving it that foundation to incorporate different colors through furniture, d\u00e9cor, or drapery,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

This 2,654-square-foot house was built in 1996 and has been updated for the 2025 lifestyle. The two-story home\u2019s renovations resulted in a style that\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

\"\"A black-and-white zebra rug grounds this living area that\u2019s accented, for now, in orange.<\/p>\n

Bringing the Drama<\/p>\n

\"\"The dramatic staircase steals the spotlight.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s kitchen\u2019s white cabinets, quartz countertops, custom backsplash, and dark island tie together beautifully with new stainless-steel appliances.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"A black feature wall directs the focus in the primary bedroom.<\/p>\n

\"\"Black, white, and gray are at play in the dining room.<\/p>\n

Beach Vibes Outside<\/p>\n

\"\"Poolside decor encourages conversation amid a beach vibe.<\/p>\n

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 \u2014 rain or shine.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the different sitting areas,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a great entertainment area with the banana trees and elephant ears that add a tropical essence.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"Natural elements add pops of color around the pool.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a vision,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cA good base foundation that\u2019s timeless lets you throw in a good mix of color.\u201d<\/p>\n
