EAST DALLAS We care about our community and it shows. Our agents are the leaders of civic groups, volunteers in philanthropic and educational initiatives, and top fundraisers for nonprofits.

East

Dallas

is

a

vibrant

community

of

fabled

neighborhoods dating to the 1860s. The Town of East Dallas was incorporated in 1882 and annexed by the City of Dallas in 1890. Now the area is bordered on the south

by Gaston Avenue, west by US 75 ( Central Expressway), then north and east by I-635 (LBJ Freeway).

Rich neighborhood traditions are attracting young residents and the east Dallas energy is evident. Lake Highlands has formed a Chamber of Commerce, reinforcing the small business core of the community while welcoming major additions such as Timber Creek Crossing and Lake Highlands Town Center.

Lower Greenville Avenue, a favorite hangout, is gaining noted foodies Trader Joe’s and Chicago-based Green Grocer, plus a Walmart Neighborhood Market.

Casa Linda Plaza, built in 1945, is Dallas’ second oldest shopping center and is being restored to its original grandeur.

Landmarks of this popular community include the Lakewood Country Club, home of Dallas’ second 18 hole golf course, built in 1912, and the legendary Lakewood Theater, the sole remaining single screen movie theater in Dallas in original condition, built in 1938.

East Grand/Gaston will welcome the

Arboretum Village shopping center and Skillman/Live Oak continues to expand its eclectic mix.

Everyone’s favorite Lakewood Shopping Center is reenergizing and Lakewood was named one of the Top 10 Best Big City Neighborhoods by CNN Money.

Schools enjoy fervent parental support. The Lakewood Neighborhood Association, sponsor of the annual Home Festival, has raised over $1 million for school enrichment.

Of course, Dallas’ cherished pastoral setting is White Rock Lake, the 100 year old civic landmark with trails, biking and boating. National attention has been focused on the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden on the shores of White Rock, which attracts more than 600,000 visitors from more than 50 countries in a typical year.

We’re pleased to be a signifcant part of the east Dallas energy - enrichment, entertainment, education. We’re here to nurture dreams that become lifestyle. Call us.

A Message from ALLIE BETH ALLMAN

Dallas is the place to be.

It’s summertime and Big D is a hotspot by any measure.

For the first half of 2014 housing prices are at a record high, 8% above pre-recession 2007 and 20% ahead of 2009. Local home values are rising about twice as fast as a normal long term rate.

But the price growth spurt is moderating. From 1984 - 2013, Texas home prices rose an average 3.2% annually. By the end of 2014, economists predict prices will stabilize, as will sales. Despite five straight declines in bond buying by the Federal Reserve, there are no plans to raise the short term rate so mortgages remain affordable.

Inside Mortgage Finance says this one of the best times ever to shop for jumbo loans.

Our firm in the first half of 2014 had 200 transactions over $1 million and 9 of 18 sales over $5 million. The luxury market is real and responding to our Texas and Dallas economy.

According to the US Department of Commerce, Texas ranked 8th nationally for gross domestic product growth from 2012 to 2013. If Texas were a country, it would be the 13th largest GDP in the world.

Our DFW area expects to grow to 10.5 million by 2040, employing more than 6.6 million in a well diversified economy and pro-business culture.

Our housing market will respond to these needs with traditional single family homes, condos and townhomes. Forbes magazine rates Dallas as the #2 competitive metro area in the nation. That spirit is attracting a fresh younger generation. The Torontobased Youthful Cities organization ranked 25 cities from five continents on how attractive the cities are to people between ages 15 - 29. Dallas ranked fourth - behind Toronto, Berlin and New York, ahead of Paris, Chicago, London and Los Angeles. Our blend of youth, energy and drive balances the stability and growth characteristic to Dallas.

Allie Beth Allman and Associates continues its listing and sales leadership in our key markets and maintains our premier position as the dominant single office firm in Dallas County. Like our communities, we blend youth with maturity, energy and experience and unflagging respect for our clients who trust us for guidance.

Robert A.M. Stern Masterpiece

5950 Deloache Avenue

Preston Hollow

$37,500,000

Iconic Preston Hollow Estate

Erin Mathews Executive Vice President 214.520.8300 erin.mathews@alliebeth.com

Recognized by world leaders and influencers for their headline-making legal accomplishments and countless philanthropic endeavors, attorneys Lisa Blue Baron and Fred Baron undertook the creation of a one-of-a-kind showplace in Dallas.

The renowned estate has hosted presidents, world-acclaimed celebrities and international decision makers on its palatial grounds. The home is the result of legendary architect Robert A.M. Stern’s mastery, described by Architectural Digest as Stern’s “finest pied-à-terre.”

Within Dallas’ prestigious Preston Hollow neighborhood, these pristine nine acres are hidden from the rest of the world with mammoth hedges. After entering through the electric gates, the driveway leads to a paved courtyard and a wonderland of beauty. The tennis court with its shaded viewing area is discreetly hidden behind artfully landscaped shrubbery near the front of the home.

The main house, an “English Regency sifted through American Federal” mansion, epitomizes craftsmanship and materials found only in Europe’s most fabulous palaces. The ground level’s T-shaped design of public rooms makes entertaining seamless. The reception hall opens to an oversized formal living room and adjoining conservatory with limestone floors and white-on-green lattice work. Stern described it as— “the Sunday Times reading room.”

On the northern side of the conservatory is the elegantly paneled dining room that can easily accommodate twenty for supper. Found opposite the conservatory is a handsome library with exquisite wood paneling and bookshelves and marble fireplace.

Nearby, the dramatic natatorium opens to the outdoor pool and terrace.

The second level’s living quarters offer a rarefied escape, thanks to a luxurious master suite with library and two offices plus two guest bedrooms. Also found in the main house is a stunning leather-walled billiard room, two side loggias, his-and-hers powder rooms, an over-the-top culinary center, a cylindrical tempietto breakfast room, and so very much more.

Across the auto courtyard with garages for multiple vehicles is a two-story guest house with two bedrooms and bathrooms, a living room, kitchen and porte-cochère.

“We’ve all heard the saying, ‘green with envy’ — make your home the envy of others by adding a touch of green. It’s fresh and clean and it goes with everything — just take a look outside. Creating the right look and feel when positioning your home for the market is the key to getting top dollar in record time. Let green be a breath of fresh air.”

3228 Rankin Street Univerisity Park This gorgeous home, completed in December 2011, is located in coveted University Park.

3541 Marquette Street University Park Not very often does a 105 foot wide lot come along in such an incredible location in University Park. Here is the opportunity for you to build your totally custom home on this large lot. Waterside Properties Dallas has been building custom homes in Dallas for over 20 years, specializing in stunning high end quality vs. quantity of square footage.

Projected home can feature: 5 Beds/5.2 Baths/3 LAs/Office Game Room/Approximately 5500 SF $4,995,000

Brenda Sandoz Senior Vice President 214.202.5300 brenda.sandoz @alliebeth.com

BUILD TO SUIT

For years the building trend included homes with large formal rooms, and lots of square footage. The market is changing, and I think it’s for the better. The seldom used formal living room has given way to comfortable open spaces that reflect a more relaxed atmosphere. Advancements in construction materials and smart-home technology have brought about greater sustainability and new energy efficiencies, all of which add long-term value, lower maintenance and utility costs.

I find that today’s buyers are very savvy and want their home to reflect quality in design and construction, not necessarily more square footage.

Refined Tuscan Villa

9639 Hollow Way

$11,995,000

Hidden from public view behind manicured hedges, this remarkable Preston Hollow estate is surrounded by nearly two acres of magnificently landscaped grounds with fountains, statuary and majestic trees. Just beyond the electronic gate, and down the landscaped driveway, this towering, 14,000-square-foot villa with its terra-cotta tiled rooftops, stucco walls, arched windows and doorways, three-car garage and oversized covered terraces makes a breathtaking first impression.

It’s obvious—from the hardwood and stone floors, four interior fireplaces, three stairways and amazing barrel-vault, beamed, domed, and coffered ceilings—that only the finest craftsmanship and materials have been incorporated during meticulous renovations.

Elegant entertaining spaces on the ground level, which include formal living and dining rooms, a den, and library with wet bar, allow for comfortably hosting events of any scale, be it a private dinner or soiree for hundreds.

An oversized culinary center, with island and breakfast bar, world-famous appliances and keeping room, is only enhanced by the butler’s pantry, prep station, fully-equipped catering kitchen, silver closet, and wet bar with wine closet. Completing the main level is an ensuite guestroom and for those outdoor occasions, an expansive covered terrace with fireplace is nearby offering the perfect setting to take in the multi-tiered grounds featuring a pool, spa, and cabana with kitchen and full bath.

Located on the upper level of the home are two luxurious ensuite guestrooms, large enough to be mistaken for master bedrooms, along with a full-service utility room, huge cedar closet, and unbelievable storage.

A true highlight, the master bedroom suite opens to a private-covered terrace with stunning views of the backyard. Adjacent to the owner’s retreat are separate sitting and exercise rooms, but the total experience is achieved in the his-and-her bathroom and dressing areas that feature a spa-like soaking tub, steam shower, heated towel rack and coffee bar.

A spacious guest apartment and craft room are found in a separate wing of the floor.

The third level of the residence has two additional ensuite guestrooms, plus its own game room and additional sitting area. For convenience, an elevator services all three levels.

“It’s important in today’s fast-paced market for Buyers to use an aggressive, knowledgeable agent with multiple accesses to finding available properties.

“Now, more than ever, buyers must be up-to-the-minute on the market. One of the biggest trends has been properties selling prior to even coming on the market — or selling on the first day! Buyers want to be sure that their real estate company is plugged in and networking with other agents to be the first to find them the best

house. Over fifty percent of my

sales this year have been properties on the market

less than a week.”

“White kitchens remain classic and sophisticated, especially in luxury markets. And clients love Danby marble from Vermont. It’s more dense than imported marble and not as subject to stain — so it lasts.

When paired with hardwoods, white kitchens are clean crisp and gorgeous. ”

“Another take on a sophisticated white kitchen is to create a textured look to add interest. Placing backsplash tiles in a herringbone pattern is unique and I love seeing them paired with vintage elements, such as hand-blown glass pendants and French apron sinks. These accents lend a kind of simplicity that is both timeless and very current.”

“Relocation is absolutely booming! This translates into clients coming here with ideas based solely on internet searches.

It’s my job to help them filter that data with information about all properties in all neighborhoods. That makes for intelligent choices. Also, with properties selling so rapidly, it’s still smart to put your house on the market

instead of relying on word-of-mouth.

In fact, that single move will likely mean multiple offers that will maximize pricing!”

“Even in a seller’s market with low inventory there can still be obstacles to selling your home.

We recommend creating a clean, blank canvas for buyers with neutral, bright colors and low-pile carpet or hardwood floors. Also, remove heavy draperies and valances and replace them with blinds or shutters. Updating baths can be as simple as replacing the countertops with neutral stone and under-mount sinks. As for kitchens, paint them white and replace appliances with stainless steel.

This is good news for sellers because buyers will spend more if they have to do less!”
