It\u2019s true what they say: There\u2019s no place like home for the holidays. And, if you\u2019re like me, there\u2019s no place I\u2019d rather be than cozied up at home with loved ones during this special season. It\u2019s truly when a house feels like a home. With a fire burning, cookies burning in the oven, and friends swinging by when they\u2019re in the neighborhood, you simply can\u2019t beat it. December has a way of reminding us that the right home isn\u2019t just where we live; it\u2019s where life gathers.<\/p>\n

And if this time of year has you imagining a new beginning, you\u2019re not alone. Perhaps this holiday season has you thinking you\u2019re ready to find your family\u2019s next perfect home. December couldn\u2019t be a better time. It\u2019s one of my favorite months for buyers \u2014 motivated sellers, beautifully priced opportunities, and a market that rewards those who move thoughtfully and strategically. It\u2019s a smart time to buy. I\u2019m delighted to share three exceptional homes that embody Dallas luxury living at its finest and will have you whistling a jolly good holiday tune.<\/p>\n

\"December3205 Caruth Blvd.<\/p>\n

The home at 3205 Caruth Boulevard<\/a> is a transitional Mediterranean masterpiece in the heart of the Park Cities you simply can\u2019t miss. <\/p>\n

With its ideal location on one of University Park\u2019s most coveted, tree-lined streets, I love how the custom home is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining with ease. Resembling a California, indoor\/outdoor living lifestyle, rooms flawlessly spill from one to the other, picking up where the other ended. <\/p>\n

Move from the family room to the outdoor patio to enjoy a glass of wine, or transform the outdoor space into your own by adding a green space or pool just in time for next summer. The opportunities are endless to get creative and tailor the home to fit your lifestyle from the inside out. I imagine many Fall nights, summer soirees, and epic New Year\u2019s Eve parties at this house. Listed for $5.75 million. Could the host be you?<\/p>\n

As you move into Preston Hollow, let me show you inside 11460 Strait Lane<\/a>. Featured on the AIA Home Tour in 2020, this architect-designed contemporary home combines the finest in design, craftsmanship, and setting. <\/p>\n

\"December11460 Strait Lane<\/p>\n

My favorite feature? This architectural masterpiece sits gracefully on a lush creek lot along iconic Strait Lane. Nature is your backyard! Walls of glass frame nature like art \u2014 swaying trees, layered greenery, and the quiet shimmer of the creek beyond. <\/p>\n

Its custom Mondrian-style windows create a rhythm of light that moves across the interiors throughout the day. For my clients seeking modern elegance in a peaceful estate setting, this home delivers a rare balance: refined design, architectural significance, and nature. Listed for $4.975 million.<\/p>\n

Lastly, step inside one of my favorites on the market right now: 5045 Lakehill Court<\/a>. Offered for the first time since 1985, 5045 Lakehill Court is a rare piece of architectural history \u2014 designed and built as the personal residence of noted Dallas developer Hal Anderson. Talk about big shoes to fill! <\/p>\n

\"December5045 Lakehill Court<\/p>\n

Set on a secluded, one-acre cul-de-sac lot in the heart of Preston Hollow, this 1973 Midcentury-style home is truly one-of-a-kind. From the moment you step inside, you\u2019ll be swept away by its dramatic entry, extensive marble flooring, walls of glass, and seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. Listed for $4.7 million.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re relocating, right-sizing, or simply exploring your next move, I\u2019m here to offer a discerning, market-savvy perspective on Dallas\u2019 premier neighborhoods. December is one of the smartest, and most rewarding times to buy. Let\u2019s talk about the possibilities and let \u201chome for the holidays\u201d take on a beautiful new meaning this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"3205 Caruth Blvd. by Susan BaldwinSpecial contributor, Realtor with Allie Beth Allman It\u2019s true what they say: There\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":440696,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[203392,203393,203394,129542,5229,1596,151606,203395,203396,117949,157799,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,48919,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-440695","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-11460-strait-lane","9":"tag-3205-caruth-blvd","10":"tag-5045-lakehill-court","11":"tag-allie-beth-allman-associates","12":"tag-america","13":"tag-dallas","14":"tag-dallas-luxury-real-estate","15":"tag-hal-anderson","16":"tag-mid-century-modern-homes-in-dallas","17":"tag-preston-hollow","18":"tag-susan-baldwin","19":"tag-texas","20":"tag-tx","21":"tag-united-states","22":"tag-united-states-of-america","23":"tag-unitedstates","24":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","25":"tag-university-park","26":"tag-us","27":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115702444627087393","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=440695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440695\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/440696"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=440695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=440695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=440695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
