Oakdale Opulence
Get ready for a game-changer.
The stunning home at 17628 Woods Edge Drive serves up decadence for slightly below $2 million.
Safety comes first in this five-bedroom, seven-bathroom mansion spanning more than 6,000 square feet. It features a 24-hour guarded and gated entrance to the fabulous Oakdale community in North Dallas. A pool with a spa feature complements the fenced backyard.
The kitchen is fully loaded with stainless steel appliances, a center island with a gas cooktop, a seated bar, and a butler’s pantry.
While there’s no need to gather ‘round the gas fireplace just yet, you’ll want to hang out in the large family room surrounded by built-in bookshelves and a view of the back terrace.
The primary ensuite bath features dual vanities, an oversized shower, and walk-in closet with a center packing island. The second story has three bedrooms with ensuite baths, two game rooms, a library, and a study.
The area is zoned for Plano ISD and is close to restaurants and shops.

Beat the heat in a four-bedroom, four-bath abode at 10802 Dove Brook Circle in North Dallas.
This updated corner-lot home on a cul-de-sac features three living rooms, a three-car garage, and a special throwback front porch begging for a Sunday afternoon visit with glasses of sweet tea.
Guests will love the covered back porch with a remote-control screen wall and swimming pool. An open great room with soaring ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace is a great spot for gathering after dinner. Kids can retreat upstairs to the updated media room while the adults gather in the modern open kitchen. Schuler cabinets, dual walk-in pantries, a gas cooktop, a coffee bar, and an eat-in space will draw a crowd to the area, which opens to the great room and has a door to the side yard.
The primary suite includes a spa-like bath with separate vanities and a custom closet.
The location offers easy access to Ursuline Academy, Hockaday School, and NorthPark Center — just in time for Dallas CASA’s Parade of Playhouses. The home has a ton of updates and is listed for $980,000.
