In terms of well-appointed elegant homes, Plano has always been a North Texas power player. With neighborhoods like Willow Bend and Shepard’s Glen, this Collin County suburb certainly has its share of stunning properties. Following the corporate relocation boom of the late 1980s, its inventory evolved to fit the tastes of America’s business class. Now, many of its classic properties are entering their next eras with incredible updates.
For this week’s Inwood Home of the Week sponsored by Inwood National Bank, we have an excellent example of a picture-perfect Plano home reimagined for its market re-emergence.
This stately four-bedroom, three-bathroom, 3,047-square-foot home is a great example of timeless elegance taken to the next level.
Originally built in 1992, this home sports a manicured lawn, modern lines, and charismatic touches.
Then, the interior is instantly inviting. Here, an open layout and natural hardwoods set the scene around impeccable design. Crisp finishes, beamed ceilings, and built-ins give it all the hallmarks of quality craftsmanship.
The layout leads you immediately into a regal, well-lit formal living area. Here, a sophisticated marble hearth serves as a centerpiece, allowing you to convene comfortably amongst big, open windows and soaring ceilings.
Then, the chef’s kitchen is meticulously reimagined with refined style and modern functionality. With quartz countertops, a large island, and ample space, this is a dream setup for any chef.
The primary suite features a cozy window ledge, plantation shutters, and plenty of space to make it yours. With picturesque neighborhood views, this room is a relaxing retreat in one of Plano’s most exceptional zip codes.
Of course, the en-suite bathroom also boasts expert updates with a chic soaking tub, sleek tilework, and a standing shower.
With four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and tons of space, this home opens up to accommodate just about any lifestyle or living arrangement. Therefore, it makes an excellent option for all residents.
“Buyers will love how much this house opens up,” said listing agent Paul Sanders with Compass RE Texas. “All of the main spaces, like the living area, primary suite, and kitchen, feel oversized. Then, the abundance of other rooms adds to the flexibility and feature set off this home.”
Finally, the backyard is rife with potential. With an abundance of green space and a large covered patio, there’s no limit to the amenities you could imagine here.
“I think one of the biggest selling points of this home is the sizable lot,” said Sanders. “The corner lot provides a ton of outdoor space for the family to enjoy. Also, the house is positioned diagonally, maximizing the front yard and giving it more of an estate-type of feel all around.”
In its next era, this Shepard’s Glen palace is the picture of suburban perfection. If you’re looking in the Plano area, add it to the top of your list.
Paul Sanders with Compass RE Texas lists 1401 Chesapeake Dr. for $925,000.
