103 W Northgate Drive Irving, Texas 75062

A piece of Las Colinas history. Built in 1970, three years before Ben H. Carpenter founded Las Colinas on his family's Hackberry Creek Ranch, this is the first home ever constructed at the west end of University Hills, at Northgate and Gentry. It was custom built for Bob Glatter, one of the first presidents of Northgate Homes, the builder that started the neighborhood. Glatter Falls in the Las Colinas Urban Center carries the family name. Set off Northgate Drive on a heavily wooded, landscaped lot fronting Las Colinas Country Club, the home looks out over the pond and rolling greens of the adjacent course. An intimate courtyard frames the view, which carries upward through balconies off both the first-floor bedroom and the second-floor primary suite. Mature trees buffer the property from the street, a seclusion rare this close to the Urban Center. No two homes in University Hills are alike, and this one least of all. Mid-century modern lines, clay tile floors, a 26x17 living room anchored by a gas fireplace, granite counters and built-in cabinetry in the kitchen, and a 12x15 upstairs loft with built-ins alongside a 22x21 primary suite with walk-in closet.
The rarest feature is one you will not find in another home of this era in the neighborhood: a private elevator serving both floors. Paired with a first-floor bedroom and full bath, it means every room in this house is reachable without a single stair, and the upstairs primary and loft stay in daily use rather than becoming a floor you visit.
3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 2 living areas, 2 dining areas, 2,682 square feet. Two-car side-entry garage with alley access and a circular drive. Brick construction, slab foundation, central gas heat and electric air.
Fifty-six years, one family, and a golf course lot that cannot be duplicated. Vacant and easy to show
