Property Description

A home built by the people of East Dallas, for the people of East Dallas. Looks can be deceiving — and this home is the definition of it. From the street, it carries the charm and façade of an original 1940s Little Forest Hills home. Step inside, and it opens up into a surprisingly spacious interior designed for modern living surrounded by trees. This home was custom designed just for this very lot. Three exterior walls were preserved from the original house to maintain the authentic facade and charm of the neighborhood. This pier and beam home’s footprint is nestled among the existing trees, the second story is tucked behind the canopy. Offering 2,708 square feet, the home features 4 bedrooms and 3 baths with a layout that lives much larger than it appears from the street. The open-concept main living area centers around a spacious kitchen designed for entertaining, flowing naturally into the dining and living spaces without wasted square footage. A cedar-covered back patio extends the living outdoors and creates an ideal setting for gatherings. This custom home offers flexibility with two primary suite options — a private suite on the first floor, or the opportunity to use the entire upstairs level as a primary retreat. Quality and efficiency were prioritized throughout, including a Pella Lifestyle Series window package, spray foam insulation, 5-8-inch drywall, electric HVAC systems with dedicated heat-pump system, a tankless water heater, and an oversized 2-inch gas line ready for future outdoor additions. An oversized two-car garage features dual garage doors, allowing the space to open directly to the backyard and function as an extension of the entertaining area — seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. Located less than one mile from White Rock Lake and the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, with access to the 10-mile trail system. Enjoy walking to the neighborhood farmers market just down the block during spring, summer, and fall.
