Architect Designed Estate Homes and Modern Homes in Glen Abbey

Glen Abbey is one of the last neighborhoods of enormous homes over 10,000 square feet designed by prominent architects. Since 2010 homes over 10,00 square feet have sold for approximately $4,000,000, often half of what the home originally cost to build. For those wanting a very large 10 year old home, Glen Abbey is a good place to find one at an attractive price.

Modern Home in Glen Abbey Torn Down

One of the most important modern homes in Dallas designed by Lake Flato, named AIA top architecture firm in the nation, was torn down in 2015. This 5,00 square foot home cost over $1,000 a square foot to build by the original owners of all the land that became Glen Abbey. After several years on the market this modern home in a tradition neighborhood was torn down so that the 1 acre lot could be sold for just under $1,000,000. This lot and several other lots in 2015 have had new large traditional houses built on them. Glen Abbey has been the last neighborhood in the Dallas city limits where one could purchase 1 acre of land under $1,000,000. There is one modern home in Glen Abbey that has not been torn down and that was designed by Graham Green of Oglesby Green Architects.

The Glen Abbey neighborhood represents the most beautiful land in North Dallas. Its topographical beauty is further insulated from the density of Dallas by White Rock Creek and the surrounding nature preserve, park land, and golf courses beyond. From your home in this guarded and gated neighborhood, it will only take you twenty minutes to arrive at the Meyerson Symphony Center, the arts district, or downtown Dallas. As you go past the guardhouse, you enter an intimate neighborhood of approximately two hundred luxury homes designed by prominent and award winning architects. You will enjoy the collegial atmosphere of the neighbors comprised of prominent business owners, CEOs, and talented athletes including Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.

Glen Abbey Modern Home

You will be pleased to find among the many traditional estate homes, a Glen Abbey modern home that does not draw attention from the street, but is dramatic and exciting once you enter the home.

Architect Graham Greene of Oglesby•Greene Architects, recipient of the Dallas Chapter AIA 2010 Firm of the Year Award, designed this award-winning home. This home at 40 Braewood Place also received the 2010 AIA Interior Architecture Design Award.

It is surprising to find a home in a Dallas neighborhood overlooking a bluff, White Rock Creek, and a nature preserve. It is even more surprising to find the extended topographical verdant views found in Glen Abbey in a small, private, gated community.
