​Agent Elly Holder of Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty recently tasked me with a challenge - breathe new life into the property romance for a rare-to-market offering in the legendary 3525 Turtle Creek Dallas high-rise. The result was not only a blast for me, but ended up as a story on CandysDirt.com. Elly’s reaction? Priceless. Here is an excerpt from the voicemail she left me after first reading my copy: 
​

“Amy, this is Elly Holder. My jaw is just on the floor, I had to immediately call you! I can't even believe this. This romance is so fabulous, you are so incredibly talented, I am going to use you every single time! I know we had a lot to work with, but you took it so many steps further. You're amazing, and I just want to say thank you! This is fabulous and you are a Rock Star. I couldn't even get finished, I kept wanting to call you. Just amazing! I so appreciate it. Have a great day, and I am looking forward to using you on the next one." 

​Needless to say this made my day! And I couldn’t wait to share this amazing property with you! You can read the full CandysDirt.com article here or scroll below for a closer look at the breathtaking property photos, along with the marketing copy I wrote to accompany the unbelievably chic listing.

Few residential high rises compare to the Howard Meyer designed beauty at 3525 Turtle Creek, and the coveted unit at 7AB is no exception. Historically significant with impressive south, east, and west facing views, the 7th floor townhouse affords breathtaking panoramas of the downtown Dallas skyline, Turtle Creek, and surrounding landscape, with a level of privacy and sophistication that is unrivaled. The completely renovated 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom condominium boasts 4,827-square-feet of light-filled entertaining, coupled by unmatched building amenities that include a 24-hour concierge/valet, sparkling pool, exercise room, dog park, guest suites, and access to The Turtle Room a fabulous party venue that is sure to have seen many celebrities over the years.

Every inch of the home is wrapped in thoughtful, timeless design, providing open airy living spaces awash with light and sky. From the hand-painted, embroidered wall coverings in the foyer and master suite, to the carved wood ceilings and museum finished walls, no detail is left unturned. You ll find a variety of elegant finishes throughout, including wall coverings by Maya Romanoff and Phillip Jeffries, rich textures of silk, suede, leather, flannel, linen weaves, feathers, gold cork, and mother of pearl, and jaw-dropping French Brown wood surfaces, some featuring marble inlay.

A newly remodeled gourmet kitchen by Bentwood of Dallas has been luxuriously appointed with rich custom cabinets, butcher block counters, and top-of-the-line appliances, creating an inviting culinary space for the home chef. Host dinner parties with ease in the exquisite formal dining room, complete with intricate moldings, chair rail, a convenient silver and china closet, and a butler's pantry. After dinner, choose from any one of the gracious living areas to unwind, each outfitted with designer details, soft lighting, and impeccable views. For a quiet place to conduct business or curl up with a good book, the handsome private study/home library lends a welcoming space, marked by lighted geode panels and built-in bookcases that are ideal for showcasing books, art, or sculpture.

Perhaps nothing is more relaxing however, than the home s tranquil master suite, with picture-perfect views of the Dallas skyline, a comfortable sitting area, and en-suite spa-quality bath with jetted tub and shower. Gorgeous marble vanities, white custom cabinets, antique mirrored door fronts, mosaic tile floors, and custom wall coverings come together to create one masterful retreat. Guest rooms are equally sumptuous and carefully designed, each with en-suite baths. Other items of note include HOA covered utilities, four designated parking spaces, and two sizable storage units.

For over 50 years, 3525 Turtle Creek has been home and host to many legendary entertainers, politicians, entrepreneurs, and philanthropists including academy award winning actress Greer Garson, country singer Jimmy Dean, and the American mezzo-soprano singer, Blanche Thebom who performed at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City for nearly twenty years. 

Today the famed building lives up to its legendary reputation of excellence, craftsmanship, and luxury living with a warm and inviting ambiance, and prime location near the Katy Trail. Minutes from lush parks, dining, shopping, and entertainment, you'll live in the heart of Dallas with vibrant city arts and culture right out your front door. 

I hope you've enjoyed reading about this one-of-a-kind gem!

Cheers,
