Discover Modern Elegance: A Fully Renovated Contemporary Oasis in Dallas’s Prestigious Bluffview
Here at Daltxrealestate, we have an undeniable appreciation for architecture that defies expectations and captures the imagination. When Rocky Zablan of Dallas City Center Realtors unveiled this exceptional contemporary modern listing nestled in the highly sought-after Bluffview neighborhood, it immediately caught our attention. The striking aesthetics and remarkable transformation prompted us to delve deeper into what makes 9119 Chapel Valley Road a true standout in the Dallas real estate market.
From the moment you approach, this 2,162 square foot residence at 9119 Chapel Valley Road exudes an incredible magnetism. Its distinctively modern silhouette suggests a recent construction, leaving many to assume it’s a brand-new build. However, this is where the property truly surprises and delights.
A Timeless Transformation: Beyond Its 1980s Origins
Prepare to be pleasantly surprised. “One of the best compliments given by a broker was that you could not tell it was built in the 80s,” Rocky Zablan shared. Indeed, this architectural gem dates back to 1987. Yet, thanks to a meticulous and comprehensive renovation, this three-bedroom, three-bath, split-level contemporary home feels anything but dated. It’s a testament to thoughtful design and a significant investment in modern living.
The current owner orchestrated an impressive $110,000 renovation, breathing new life into every corner of this residence. The result, coupled with its unique exterior and an idyllic creekside lot, imbues the home with a vibe often described as distinctly “Austin.” Zablan articulates this perfectly: “The home has an ‘Austin’ vibe because of the updated interior and heavily treed and creek lot it sits on. And who doesn’t love Austin!” This blend of contemporary aesthetics and natural tranquility creates an urban oasis that feels miles away from the city’s hustle, even though you’re perfectly positioned within it.

The Heart of the Home: A Culinary and Social Masterpiece
The renovation’s impact is perhaps most stunningly evident on the first floor, particularly in the main living areas and, most notably, the custom kitchen. This space has been dramatically retooled and expanded, now boasting an impressive almost 13-foot long kitchen island that serves as both a functional workspace and a central gathering point. It’s an ideal setup for everything from casual family meals to sophisticated entertaining.
The kitchen is a showcase of contemporary luxury: pristine Silestone counters provide expansive prep surfaces, while sleek white cabinetry offers abundant storage with a minimalist aesthetic. Dual wine fridges ensure your favorite vintages are always at the perfect temperature, and a captivating glass backsplash adds a touch of modern artistry. The concrete flooring not only contributes to the home’s industrial-chic appeal but also offers durability and easy maintenance. All these elements work in harmony, making it virtually impossible to recall the home’s 80s vintage. Adding to the grandeur is a magnificent wall of windows that extends all the way to the top of the house, flooding the space with natural light and offering breathtaking views of the surrounding natural beauty.



The feeling of being transported to a serene sanctuary is a common sentiment among visitors. “The home is truly an urban oasis, people often comment how they don’t feel like they’re in Dallas right when they step through the front doors,” Zablan confirms. This unique atmosphere is a direct result of the thoughtful renovation and the property’s enviable creekside setting.
Luxurious Comfort: Private Retreats and Spa-Like Bathrooms
The commitment to modern luxury extends seamlessly into the home’s private quarters. All three bathrooms have been meticulously updated to reflect contemporary design principles and offer a spa-like experience. Each features elegant glass showers, chic floating shelves, and expansive 12×24 tiles, creating spaces that are both functional and visually stunning. These renovations ensure that every aspect of daily living is infused with comfort and style.
The bedrooms themselves offer generous proportions and thoughtful design. A distinct feature in all three bedrooms is the presence of rounded walk-in closets, providing ample storage while adding a touch of architectural interest.

The master retreat, a true sanctuary, is strategically positioned on the top floor, offering unparalleled privacy and stunning vistas. “The master retreat is perched up top overlooking the back deck and creek, with stunning views of the interior of the home from the top floor,” Zablan describes. Imagine waking up to the tranquil sounds of nature, with the creek meandering below, or unwinding in the evening while enjoying the architectural beauty of your own home from this elevated vantage point.


An Entertainer’s Dream and Outdoor Sanctuary
Beyond its striking interiors, this home is undeniably an entertainer’s paradise. With two distinct living areas, there’s ample space for hosting gatherings, intimate conversations, or simply enjoying quiet relaxation. The seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living is a key highlight, enhanced by an expansive outdoor deck that invites al fresco dining and lounging. For those seeking even more solitude, a private treetop balcony offers a secluded spot to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening cocktail amidst the natural canopy.



Smart Home, Smarter Living: Technology Integrated for Convenience
This Bluffview contemporary isn’t just beautiful; it’s intelligently equipped for modern living. Zablan highlights its smart home capabilities, featuring Nest integration throughout. This includes smart temperature control for optimal comfort and energy efficiency, state-of-the-art smoke detectors for peace of mind, and outdoor cameras ensuring security. Furthermore, August Moon locks provide advanced access control.
“You can unlock/lock the home with an app and it’s shareable with friends and family, so no more leaving a key under the mat,” Zablan explains. This level of technological sophistication offers unparalleled convenience, security, and control, allowing you to manage your home effortlessly from anywhere.
Prime Location: Experiencing the Best of Dallas from Bluffview
While the home itself offers an “urban oasis,” its location is equally desirable. Bluffview is renowned for its charming, tree-lined streets, large lots, and a sense of peaceful seclusion, all while being incredibly well-connected to Dallas’s vibrant amenities. You are mere minutes away from the highly-regarded Central Market, offering gourmet groceries and specialty items. The upscale Plaza at Preston Center is also within easy reach, providing an array of premier shopping, fine dining establishments, and everyday conveniences.
For commuters and those who enjoy exploring the wider Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, the easy hop onto the Dallas North Tollway is a significant advantage. This prime location blends the tranquility of a secluded retreat with the unparalleled access to urban conveniences, making 9119 Chapel Valley Road an ideal place to call home for anyone seeking the quintessential Dallas lifestyle.
