Classic Urban Homes:
Classic Urban Homes built this 3,135-sq.-ft.-house as a final tribute to designer/builder extraordinaire Tom Greico. Tom, one of Dallas’ leading designers and builders, helped pioneer Mid-Century modern design that is so prevalent now in North Texas. He passed away on January 12, 2019.
This design is based on Tom’s original design for his personal home on this very lot.
Boasting 5 bedrooms and 4 ½ bathrooms, the home’s owner’s suite is on the main floor along with a bedroom perfect for a home office or living space for an aging parent. The other three bedrooms are upstairs, adjacent to a game room suitable for even the best video gamers or a secondary home office. There is also a second-floor open air deck featuring a walkout balcony.
Classic Urban Homes:
Previously built as a one-story home for another client, the new owners loved the home, but needed more space for their lifestyle and son. Enter the team of Classic Urban Homes, Marek Architecture and Smith and Ragsdale Design to the rescue. The addition involved adding the second floor en suite and living areas, including a loft for their son above the garage, a transitional space from the main house to the upstairs addition, converting two bedrooms into office spaces for the new homeowners and a very challenging outdoor pavilion situated on the side of a creek overlooking the backyard.
