Dazzling One Story Home in Frisco, Texas

4903 Oak Knoll in Starwood - Frisco - This stunning, Bob Bobbitt Custom Home, was designed for great living as well as entertaining. Great attention to detail went into the planning and building of this one story nearly 4200 square foot masterpiece residence. Bob Bobbitt is well-known for the superior finish out of his homes, and in this situation, he surpassed even his own expectations.

The home site is at one of the most prestigious locations in perhaps the most prominent neighborhood in all far North Dallas. Walk to the Starwood Community Center for a meeting with friends or a quick workout. Take a stroll along Stewart’s Creek and enjoy the magnificent Spanish Oaks.

When you approach the home you will be impressed with the stone, cast stone, and brick façade. The home is reminiscent of much larger homes, and in fact, viewing this home from the front gives you the feeling that it is much larger than 4200 square feet. This is a result of the unique yet practical floor plan that is arranged in a “C” shape to maximize the exterior space.

The attractive foyer provides panoramic views of marvelous rooms for you to enjoy. The large formal dining room with columns and arches hints at the quiet and comfortable feeling of this home. The super large family room which is almost 21’ by 21’ includes extras like a marvelous double stack cast stone fireplace and rich built-ins. The crown molding and special features of this room will make you relax, even after a stressful day. Sit and enjoy for a moment. This will allow you to unwind and open the senses for the feast to follow.

The “Chef’s Delight” kitchen includes lots of storage and built-ins. The appliance package is commensurate with a luxury home in Starwood. There was no “cutting of corners” in this home as is typical for a Bob Bobbitt masterpiece. There are upgrades everywhere, and of course granite and stainless steel and special wood trim. An additional prep sink in the island, as well as a wine refrigerator and decorative display space are great additions.

Just outside you will find a spacious covered patio with all the extras for a fabulous outdoor living space. Robert Browning wrote, “I trust in nature for the stable laws of beauty.” This is truly the case in this magnificent back yard living environment. Landscaping is the only design area that is by nature intended to evolve over time.

The owner’s personal landscape in this home has aged well and certainly evolved to create an atmosphere for living outdoors. Enjoy great views of the splendid pool, spa, and lush landscape from numerous rooms.

The outdoor kitchen provides opportunities for parties and family fun. The corner lot allows for a back yard experience that is private and happily doesn’t include views of other properties.
The master bedroom is a “Kings Domain” and certainly “has it all.” Great window views with superior window treatments combine with moldings and ceiling treatments that inspire a poet to greatness. The luxurious master bath and oversized closets round out the central rooms for great living and enjoying the fruits of your labor.

The extra bedrooms were built in anticipation of visitors and friends staying over for a spell. Be careful however, they may not want to leave after getting settled in to a home like this.
There are few homes in Starwood that are as special as this one. One story homes of this quality are difficult to find. Who needs more space when the space you have is so perfectly planned. “A beautifully designed, meticulously planned residence becomes a home when you apply your personality and style.” Imagine the possibilities…

Darling Homes in Prosper, Texas

When Darling Homes determined to build 4060 Chimney Rock in a dazzling setting in The Whitley Place Neighborhood in Prosper, they made the decision to choose "Quality" over size. This spectacular property is the epitome of, "I want the best!" rather than "I want the most." As you approach the home, you cannot help but notice the graceful side patio with French doors to the study inside, as well as the brick front terrace enhancing the front façade.

You are greeted by an impressive "Grand Hall" Rotunda Foyer highlighted by a soaring two story ceiling, crown molding, gorgeous light fixtures, and hand scraped hardwood flooring.
The large arched entry to the dining room is inviting and features hand textured walls, and the flooring is hand scraped hardwood. The plantation shutters on the French Doors and Double Windows provide more than ample light to set the mood for entertaining friends or family in style.

The richly appointed study sits to the front of the home and is located to the left of the entry at the foyer. The study is large with practical and usable built-ins, and features judges paneling and hand scraped wood floors, as well as French doors to the Patio.

Delightfully open to the family living center, the kitchen and breakfast nook are up to the minute in every way and provide a great space for family fun and casual entertaining. The kitchen is a chef’s delight and features granite countertops and Viking and Asko stainless steel appliances, including a professional style Viking Cooktop with 6 Burners plus Griddle. The "inspiration piece" island features finishes that complement the rich wood stained cabinetry in this delightful kitchen. Rachel Ray never had it so good!

Added features include a butler’s pantry with glass front cabinets designed to serve the dining room, and a working butler’s pantry with built-in Viking Microwave. The breakfast room offers enough space for a crowd and also provides a large granite topped serving counter befitting a wonderful buffet for a celebration brunch or dinner. The many arches from various rooms into the kitchen and family area provide a European old world style that is both charming and warm.
The open family room has a beautiful stone and brick fireplace and a wall of windows viewing the outdoor living space. The hand scraped hardwood flooring continues throughout this area and the hand textured walls provide a soft ambiance for living and entertaining. There is ample room for furniture and video equipment to be positioned for fun and enjoyment.

The master suite, in the back of the home, is off an alcove allowing it to be private and not viewed from any of the living areas. It is also secluded and split from the other first floor bedroom at the front of the home. A charming sitting area with windows offers fantastic views of the backyard and there is a convenient door to the back patio. The master bath has oversized tile flooring, granite topped vanities, and a door to a private patio. The large walk-in closet has abundant built-in shelving and custom dressers. A neat addition is a door to the utility room through the master bedroom closet.

A wonderful guest suite is located at the front of the home, far from the master suite. It is large and cozy with a private bath and large walk-in closet. The guest bedroom has an attractive bay window that looks out to the terrace in the front of the home. This is a delightful setting and the home site is set high to allow for excellent visibility.

Whitley Place is a beautiful setting that features rolling hills and large native trees. You will love this great community. Visit www.ebbyhomesdfw.com for a Virtual Tour and lots of photos.
