Glen Abbey is the one neighborhood in Dallas that has a guarded and gated formal entrance and the graciousness of estate properties on bluffs and creeks surrounded by a nature preserve, park, and greenbelts, only twenty minutes from downtown Dallas.

Glen Abbey Modern Home

Modern home designed by Oglesby·Green in the Glen Abbey neighborhood.

One of the finest Architecturally Significant modern homes in Dallas is found in the gated community of Glen Abbey.

Glen Abbey Provides the Privacy, Topography, and Security You Desire

If you love an environment with endless views of beautiful land, dramatic topography, a wide flowing creek, and at the same time desire a small, secure gated and guarded prestigious neighborhood of architect designed estate homes, then Glen Abbey is perfect. The streetscape of this very quiet neighborhood reflects the high power executives, business owners, athletes, and their families that comprise the collegial atmosphere of Glen Abbey. When one enters a home in this neighborhood, the street disappears and the beautiful gardens, mature trees, and gorgeous views appear.

White Rock Creek flows behind many of the homes, separating Glen Abbey from a nature preserve and greenbelt. The sights, sounds, and lights of the city are pushed further back by Preston Trail Golf Club and Bent Tree Country Club that form a perimeter wrapping around the greenbelts adjacent to Glen Abbey neighborhood.

Glen Abbey is a Neighborhood of Architect Designed Estate Homes

The vast original estate property of Lupe Murchison was known as being some of the most beautiful land in Dallas. Here, the Glen Abbey neighborhood was created to capture the splendor of the land for architect designed estate homes. Designed guidelines require the craftsmanship and design dexterity of fine builders and architects. The best example of the quality of architecture found in Glen Abbey is the home designed by Graham Greene of Oglesby Greene, the 2010 Dallas chapter AIA firm the year. Its front facade draws from centuries old European homes while the interior exudes modernity and opens up to nature as adeptly as any home in Dallas.

The Wagging Tail Dog Park

As a home owner in Glen Abbey, you will be able to walk your dog to Dallas’ first dog park. The city of Dallas opened Wagging Tail Dog Park in 2009. The city maintains and monitors this seven acre park for unleashed dogs and their owners to enjoy this natural setting. The Wagging Tail Dog Park located between Keller Springs Road and White Rock Creek is another amenity of nature that embraces the Glen Abbey neighborhood.

Preston Trail Golf Club and Bent Tree Country Club Further Insulate the Homes of Glen Abbey From the Commotion of a City

Concentric circles of creeks, small lakes, greenbelts, parks, and golf courses surround the Glen Abbey neighborhood. Glen Abbey is not a golf course development. Here you are looking over a bluff not a tee box. You do, however, have the advantage Preston Trail Golf Club and Bent Tree Country Club around the corner. If you are a member of Preston Trail Golf Club, you might even hike through the nature preserve and across the greenbelt and arrive on the seventh green of the golf course.

Glen Abbey is Only Twenty Minutes From Downtown Dallas

Long time Dallas residents are just beginning to realize that, with the expansion of the Dallas North Tollway and North Central Expressway, the Glen Abbey neighborhood, in what was once considered far north Dallas, is now surprisingly close to the commercial center of downtown Dallas and the Dallas arts district. The elite private schools are only ten or fifteen minutes away. Access to the private and public airports are also very convenient.

Glen Abbey Clubhouse and Exercise Facility

Glen Abbey is an easy neighborhood to stroll or take brisk walks or run through the curving streets of this private neighborhood with very little traffic. Glen Abbey homeowners can also go to the clubhouse and exercise facility for more intensive workouts.

From graduate student looking work on the first le From graduate student looking work on the first level of the Guggenheim Museum, Alex Katz’ work ascends to the highest level and to the triumphant and concluding piece of the exhibition, which was loaned by Dallas’ own art collector, Marguerite Hoffman. Katz’ wife was a reoccurring subject matter throughout his 60-year career, including the oversized faces Katz is best known for. The final piece in his show has his wife’s back to the viewer, and yet we still can tell exactly who it is. A retrospective this linear is also nice as we see the evolution of an artist’s work and in this case the distinct evolution of styles and attitudes of each decade. As you slide through the images, you will be able to see the final picture of the back of the woman repeated six times on the canvas. This piece is destined to become part of the Dallas Museum of Art’s permanent collection. *Katz Ascends

Michael Lee, a brilliant designer and a Highland P Michael Lee, a brilliant designer and a Highland Park native, has reclaimed Dallas as his home and continues to reclaim Dallas architectural components and artifacts from architecturally significant homes and merge them into new spaces. A celebration at his new retail space at Nick Brock on Slocum in the Design District provided the opportunity to see how a collection of individual pieces offered for sale were placed in a graceful composition that was as enticing as each individual piece. Additionally, sunlight illuminated the space. When Michael moved to Malibu, his genius was quickly recognized. His California work was featured in Architectural Digest and he was the talk of the town. Simultaneously, his projects in Dallas were equally revered. It is so fun to have Michael and Gatsby back in Dallas. When you see them, you are bound to see many of the most talented and delightful people in town.  Here we see the Director of the Dallas Opera, the North American CEO of Christie’s Auction House, and Carol Lee, who with her late husband John Ridings Lee, lived and entertained in iconic modern and historic homes that were the toast of the town.  From business leaders to aesthetic leaders and interior designers, this space glowed with talent and love that always surrounds Michael Lee. *Reclaim Dallas

Pure ice on the first day this architecturally sig Pure ice on the first day this architecturally significant historic home was on the market. Today, my clients are enjoying their new home on a sunny day.  Ice is a buyer’s best friend.
 
My clients said ideally they would like a historic home, an architecturally significant home, a home on around a half acre of land, looking across from a golf course, and in the next six months before they were to be married. There has been virtually no inventory of homes for sale over the last six months. Where would you have recommended? They bought this home, a historic 100-year-old home, an architecturally significant home, on almost a half acre, overlooking a golf course, the day before their wedding. 
 
As I told this beautiful couple – NEVER a doubt! *Celebrating Home

The Dallas Museum of Art and Director Agustin Arte The Dallas Museum of Art and Director Agustin Arteaga continues to inform and delight with a wide and deep spectrum of exhibitions. Recently opening was “Saints, Sinners, Lovers, and Fools: 300 Years of Flemish Masterworks.” Art history is more than the history of artistic technique or expression, it is history itself. We heard from Dr. Katharina Van Cauteren that the 16th century paintings in Antwerp and Flanders was the start of the art market. Artists began painting speculatively rather than painting solely on commission. An art market broadens the subject matter of paintings from predominantly portraits to landscapes, still lifes, and other vignettes that were in demand. The paintings seen are primarily curated from The Phoebus Foundation collection with strong Flemish paintings from the DMA interspersed. Oil paint was invented during this period, allowing the intense detail we are seeing in these paintings. An entire wall is dedicated to 20 prints that portray inventions and processes of the day, such as the machinery pressing olive oil. The beauty of art can be emotionally elevating, but the history of art and why it was made can illuminate our history. *Entrepreneurial Art

Ford and Cece are in the house when you see a yell Ford and Cece are in the house when you see a yellow Corvette. For decades they have driven a new model yellow Corvette. In Highland Park Village at Cafe Pacific you see so many Bentleys, Rolls-Royces and Maybachs lined up it is hard to know which car belongs to whom and yet when you see a yellow Corvette, you know the owner. Ford and Cece are the only couple in Dallas where either one of them can be referenced by first name only – Ford or Cece – and people will know to whom you are referring.  Cece Smith founded the largest retail specialty venture capital fund. Cece has been on many corporate boards, is a past chair of the Dallas Federal Reserve, and current chair of the Dallas Symphony Board. Ford Lacy is the Highland Park resident intellectual, a Highland Park and Harvard graduate, he was a successful Akin Gump attorney and continues to dazzle others with his vast source of knowledge and insights on myriad subjects. Maybe the greatest contribution of Ford and Cece is their founding of the President’s Research Council (PRC) at UT Southwestern over 35 years ago. PRC grants annual distinguished research seed grants to promising young researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center. These funds are generated by community members of PRC who convene quarterly to hear about exciting research taking place at UT Southwestern. Lectures by the immensely talented clinicians, doctors and faculty at UT Southwestern provide the most exciting lecture series in Dallas.  Often emerging technology and medical breakthroughs are heard here years ahead of the TED Conference presenting them. Recently, Ford and Cece were honored at iconic Cafe Pacific for a fun PRC Appreciation Dinner for their founding PRC and underwriting the PRC annual dinner announcing research grants with PRC members seated with Nobel laureates, past PRC speakers and distinguished members of UT Southwestern. Among many honors Ford and Cece have received is being selected as academicians in the Academy of Raffination. *Ford and Cece

Jim Young, 40th employee of EDS, is presented firs Jim Young, 40th employee of EDS, is presented first ever Texas Business Hall of Fame Distinguished Service Award and given tribute by Morton Meyerson. In fact, Dallas icon Morton Meyerson, the 57th employee that became the EDS President and CEO, gave the finest and most important personal and historical tribute I have heard. Morton Meyerson said he had never told Jim Young this before, but when he arrived at EDS, which was only about two years old, it was a cold, stiff organization still trying to get established, where he felt out of place. Jim, with his elegant, warm, inclusive and supportive sense of humor, allowed him to survive and thrive at EDS. He credited Jim Young with creating a company-wide atmosphere of humanity and opportunity for the thousands of employees around the world. Pictured here are his wife, Carole Young, who has also made an incredible impact on Dallas and Texas, with even a Texas prison named after her; and Dale Petroskey, the President and CEO of the Dallas Regional Chamber of Commerce, who wrote a definitive LinkedIn post on Jim receiving this award. Dale is a good example of the incredibly successful people in Jim Young’s orbit that include Jim as a mentor, friend and inspiration, as I do. Jim Young has always placed his family (who have all been incredibly successful, including his daughter Kelly Stoetzel, who headed the TED conferences for several years and selected the TED speakers for 15 years, and his son Jim Young who received a Master’s Degree at University of Cambridge and started his own successful business) first, and treated those young and old around the world as if they were family – Jim was always incredibly interested, and generous with his thoughts, guidance and encouragement. The world is a better place because of Jim Young and everyone that knows Jim Young has benefitted. Thank you Jim! *Orbit of Jim Young
