Situated east of Dallas, just south of Lake Ray Hubbard, Sunnyvale offers so much to its suburban residents. With proximity to an abundance of public parks and the lake, this city is perfectly poised for recreation in all forms. Of course, it also offers easy access to all that Dallas has to offer via both Highway 80 and I-30. In fact, being so close to all the amenities of a bigger city, Sunnyvale is able to retain that small-town charm that so many residents seek out.
For this edition of Suburb Sunday, we’re excited to explore three homes within this quaint community. While these properties are distinct from one another in many ways, they all share a commonality of quality craftsmanship and move-in-ready appeal. Let’s take a look.
A Spacious Lot With Serene Surroundings
609 Pecan Creek Drive
- Four Bedrooms, Three Bathrooms
- 2,988 Square Feet
- $929,501
We’re starting this week with a stunning property set on over two acres. Surrounded by a lush Texas landscape and just seconds to Highway 80, this home allows for both privacy and proximity to town.
“There is a lot to love about this property,” said listing agent Johnson Baby with MIH Realty. “With two acres, a beautiful swimming pool, and even its own private pond, it’s a dream for anyone who loves the outdoors. Also, the big trees and beautiful surroundings provide a peaceful retreat that’s not too far from the city.”
Of course, there is a lot to love on the inside as well.
“The home was just repainted inside and out and includes all-new appliances and even a new roof,” said Baby. “It’s immaculate and turnkey. It’s been so well cared for, new residents will feel immediately at home.”

A Sunnyvale Custom with a Smart Floor Plan
308 Claire Court
- Four Bedrooms, Five Bathrooms
- 3,647 Square Feet
- $1 million
There’s something about custom homes that sets them apart both in terms of style and function. When a space is built around those who know exactly how they want to use it, it just becomes that much more intimate and intuitive. This next home is an excellent example of that custom feel.
“Unlike other homes in this community, this one is 100 percent custom,” said listing agent Cindy Dunnican with Coldwell Banker Apex. “It’s a single story with a three-way split, separating the primary suite from both the guest suite and two bedrooms rooms at another end of the house. This makes for a really smart floor plan, providing elements of privacy for all residents. Also, I just love how the beamed cathedral ceilings meet you as you walk in. You get this incredible view of the pool out back. It really amps up that wow effect.”
Sunnyvale is becoming more and more popular for its community amenities and school district, which this home certainly benefits from as well.
“Sunnyvale ISD is a huge attraction to buyers,” said Dunnican. “Also, the Stoney Creek community offers so much including ponds, a community pool, and walking trails. Also, it’s just 25 minutes from town.”
Cindy Dunnican with Coldwell Banker Apex lists 308 Claire Court for $1 million.
An Entertainer’s Dream
313 Melshire Street
- Four Bedrooms, Three Bathrooms
- 2,499 Square Feet
- $519,000
With a sprawling open floor plan and an incredible backyard, our final home this week is perfectly suited for spending time with friends and family.
“It’s an entertainer’s paradise,” said listing agent Justin Hearn with Coldwell Banker. “My favorite part about this home is the incredible backyard. It features a fire pit, a covered sitting area, and even a turfed cornhole area. Also, there’s an enclosed glass sunroom which would be perfect for a pool table, media setup, or anything you’d like to add for that indoor-outdoor entertainment aspect.”
Like our first home, this one has been thoughtfully updated throughout and is in turnkey condition for a stress-free move.
“This is an immaculate property,” said Hearn. “We’ve kept much of the original design but updated much of it with new fixtures, hardware, and a fresh coat of paint. To find a home like this in the five hundreds is almost unheard of.”
Justin Hearn with Coldwell Banker lists 313 Melshire Street for $519,000.
