In spite of the current problems in the real estate market across the country, Southlake TX will be hosting the Kaleidoscope of Homes luxury home tour this year. Believed to be the only luxury home tour at a single location this year, the Southlake luxury home community of Shady Oaks will feature four homes valued between 2 and 3 million each. The event will begin on October 9 and continue for three weeks. Southlake is home to several luxury home communities, Shady Oaks being one of the newer ones.
The home builders featured at this year’s show are Venetian Custom Homes, Simmons Estate Homes and Harrell Custom Homes. Two of the homes have a Tuscan design, one is an English Tudor, and the other is a Spanish colonial design. The homes feature beautiful designs and cutting edge technology and any possible amenity the discriminating luxury home buyer would desire. The featured homes range from 7000 to 9000 square feet. The current phase of Shady Oaks offers half acre home sites. An upcoming phase will offer one third acre lots. The community offers walking trails through an oak shaded park with a pond and fountain.
Southlake TX is located northeast of Fort Worth, close to DFW International Airport. Shady Oaks is a 100 acre community south of Highway 114 and north of Highway 1709. Southlake is known for its Town Square, an outdoor shopping center home to several upscale shops and dining establishments. All of the public schools in Southlake’s Carroll school district have received exemplary ratings for the past several years, which makes Southlake attractive to families.
Proceeds from the Kaleidoscope of Homes show benefit the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. What an awesome way for a family friendly community to help other families with children struggling from orthopedic conditions, neurological disorders and learning disabilities. Tickets for the event are available at area Tom Thumb stores and also are available at the event.
