Craftsman Masterpiece With Resort Style Outdoor Living

This innovative interpretation of the classic Craftsman home at 6215 Norway carries an air of the resort lifestyle of the Hamptons or Seaside, Florida. Chosen for the AIA Dallas Home Tour in 2023, it is one of only a handful of homes with a private access gate to the St. Marks campus. The convenience and privacy this location offers are truly exceptional. Designed by architect Michael Malone and built by Manning Snelling, the 6,886 square foot, five-bedroom, six and a half bathroom residence is set on an extra-deep 100 x 200 lot. Malone drew inspiration from C. F. A. Voysey, and Frank Lloyd Wright to create this timeless look. Thick tapered columns, and the large gabled front porch create an immediate sense of invitation. A blue frieze line of tile at the top of the offers a memorable design element. An environmentally sound home, each major interior space has a corresponding exterior area, allowing for a continuous flow of light. A uniform set of finishes, including Carrera marble and white oak floors, is used throughout the house. Traditional and modern elements are beautifully balanced. Classic open living and dining rooms offer a unique twist, a grid pattern as a unifying design motif. The decorative grid paneling continues in the two-story family room, where a butlers pantry and a wine room are tucked behind the open-plan kitchen. The primary wing ceiling extends the grid pattern in a streamlined industrial touch, with French doors opening to the pool. The principal bathroom is wrapped in marble with a large shower and a vessel tub. Upstairs are four generously sized ensuite bedrooms, two that offer incredible panoramic views onto St. Marks campus. A playroom and exercise room complete the upstairs. With 1,200 square feet of outdoor living space, featuring a covered patio with a fireplace and grill station, a large grassy area, and a pool and spa, this is an ideal environment for both daily living and entertaining. A 3-car garage with room for lifts completes the home.
