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.

Its ample courtyard is as architecturally beautiful as it is functional. There’s room for a pool, an outdoor kitchen and beautiful zen-inspired landscaping.

The family room, dining room and kitchen offer an open floor plan making this house great for entertaining. Additional features include an impressive minimalist-styled kitchen with seated island, built-in bookshelves over a wood burning fireplace and hardwood panels wrapping the floating staircase.  The sliding patio doors in the living room seamlessly connect the outdoors with the interior of the home.  Natural light is abundant in this house.

A unique architectural style with many outdoor areas for lighting make this home just as

beautiful in the dark of evening as it is in the light of day. Tom’s signature design evokes the essence of mid-century modern homes with a minimalist form and function.

“Tom was an inspiration and a mentor to me as I was developing my career in custom home building. It seemed fitting to dedicate this home to Tom’s legacy,” said Michael Turner.
