Peek inside this Dallas spec house on Strait Lane and marvel at the modern details – The Dallas Morning News

This 6,616-square-foot new build on Strait Lane fits the streets reputation for large, elaborately designed homes. The design is open, modern and minimalistic.

Listing agent Janelle Alcantara said the home has a unique design.

This is really dramatically different from any other house thats out there, Alcantara said.

The home was built by architect Doug Guiling, who has worked primarily in commercial architecture but wanted to build a speculative home. This is the second home he has built on Strait Lane. The other is next door.

The home has five bedrooms, five bathrooms and three half-bathrooms. The open concept in the living areas is magnified by large windows and natural light.

Neutral tones flow throughout the home with varying colors of wood throughout.

The living, kitchen and breakfast area are in a large room that is open to the second level. The room overlooks the natural backyard and the pool on the back porch through a wall of windows. A secondary kitchen (or catering kitchen) sits behind a wall in the primary kitchen, making more room for entertaining and preparation. Wood cabinets in the kitchen match the paneling details throughout the living room and on the stairway that leads to the second level.

The grand stairway is accented by a large, round window of glass that looks between the stairs and the living room.

A formal dining area, living area and wine room are also on the first floor.

The primary suite, a first-floor room, overlooks the backyard and porch. It has an attached sitting room with a fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows.

The remaining four bedrooms are on the second floor, each with their own en suite bathroom. An upstairs living area, study and a play room with patio access add to the homes living space.

Outside, there is a covered pool adjacent to the back patio of the home with a nearby sitting area. The remainder of the back yard is open and has a natural feel.

11468 Strait Lane is listed for $3,695,000 by Janelle Alcantara of Briggs Freeman Sothebys International Realty.
