Cowboys legend Emmitt Smith listed his postmodern manor in Dallas on the open market this fall. The property is priced at $2.2 million and has already found a fan; it is currently pending sale.
The house measures in at 10,806 sq. ft. It was finished in 1995, and sports architecture that puts a contemporary twist on European manor styles. Its façade boasts a soaring porte-cochere. Its hipped roof suggests a bit of French influence.
Inside the home, the extraordinary staircase is the first detail to grab the attention; an open design of hardwood with a complex wood-and-metal balustrade, it stands out in relief against the black and white scheme of glossy tile floor, walls and ceiling.
The home’s living spaces continue with a more conventional mix of carpeted floors, backlit tray ceilings, chandeliers, marble fireplaces, and plentiful glass. Amenities in this house include a media room, a game room, and a master with a sitting room, and bath with spa and steam room.
