About this home

Rare single-story updated home in a prime location in the private-school corridor in North Dallas, on an oversized corner lot featuring an expansive backyard retreat. The home is designed as well for entertaining as it is for everyday living. The oversized corner lot adds a welcome sense of privacy and gives you something hard to find: a pool, covered outdoor spaces, and a large lawn, with plenty of room for all three.

Inside, the vaulted ceilings give the house a great wide-open feel. Hardwood floors run throughout the living areas and bedrooms. French doors connect the main living spaces to the backyard and bring the outdoors into view. The split bedroom layout places the primary suite privately at one end of the home, separate from the four additional bedrooms and two full baths.

The kitchen sits at the center of the house, with an oversized island and seating for five. It includes a Thermador refrigerator and freezer, a six-burner Thermador range with two ovens, a separate GE oven, a Bosch dishwasher, a wine refrigerator, a farmhouse sink, and a walk-in pantry. There is plenty of room to cook while still being part of what is happening in the living areas and outside.

The primary bath has an oversized glass shower with multiple shower heads and a bench, a freestanding tub, and dual vanities.

Outside, the covered patio and pergola create separate places for dining, gathering, and relaxing around the pool, while still leaving a substantial lawn. A gated drive and detached three-car garage complete the property.
