Patio weather is at our doorstep and if there’s one thing we learned last year, our outdoor spaces are our personal oases. But wanting to spend as much time outdoors as in, requires they be pretty darn perfect. Many people have used COVID downtime and financial resources that would have been spent elsewhere to make improvements to this important area, adding a deck or a pergola here, a fire pit with seating there.
Others — and maybe, dear reader, you’re one — have gradually realized home is still not all they want and need it to be, and it requires much more of an upgrade to get there. So if you’re ready to trade up, here are some listings that nail it both externally and internally. (But for purposes of this story, primarily externally.)
1050 Three Oaks Drive in Fairview
Want to live like the VIP you are? This modern, luxurious estate is perfectly positioned on a secluded 2-acre lot at the end of a cul de sac in a custom enclave. The attention to detail inside is pretty spectacular – dual studies, multiple flex rooms, a prep kitchen, and heated floors in the primary bath, to name a few. The incredible outdoor living spaces include two fireplaces and two fire pits. A stunning infinity pool/spa, an outdoor kitchen and living space, plus a sprawling park-like yard with turf area surrounded by mature trees so it’s completely private. There is no other home like this one on the market — that’s why it went straight to pending Wednesday!

1111 Pebble Beach Drive in Mansfield
This next gorgeous golf-course estate was redesigned and rebuilt on the 17th hole of Pecan Course at Walnut Creek, so you know it’s going to have a fantastic, open backyard. The light and bright interior is rendered in a neutral color palette, ready for your personal touches. The large open concept kitchen was redone in 2015 with designer finishes including top-of-the-line appliances. One of two primary suites is on the first floor with a private office, living room and exercise room. It also accesses the relaxing pool and a private courtyard, where you’ll undoubtedly enjoy life in the year-round moonlight (aka, professionally lit trees).

10023 Windledge Drive in Lake Highlands
You’re going to want to get your iPhone trigger finger limbered up for this next one. Owned by an interior designer, the upscale modern transitional home in the heart of Lake Highlands has been completely renovated. (You might remember this one from last week’s Splurge vs. Steal.) It offers an open concept floor plan with waterproof wood floors throughout the main areas. The kitchen is complete with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and updated appliances. The main living area features a wet bar and a wall of windows overlooking the putting green and gorgeous pool with a recently added LED lighting system and spa. Retreat to the primary suite upstairs with a spa-like bath, spacious closet, and 575 sq. ft. custom roof deck with artificial turf. Three oversized bedrooms and two full baths are on the main level. The home also has custom black-out shades, though they would undoubtedly make it more difficult to ogle your backyard through.
10023 Windledge Drive is offered for $699,900 by Cindy O’Gorman and Holly O’Gorman Siglin in the Ebby Preston Keller Office. 972-380-7389 / [email protected], 972-672-2886 / [email protected]
2328 W. Colorado Blvd. in Oak Cliff
This Austin stone home in Stevens Park Village sparkles like new with lots of natural light pouring through the double-pane windows. Not only does it have a relaxing pergola for enjoying mornings and evenings, it also has a charming front porch for those days when you’re feeling gregarious. It’s a hidden jewel with 2018 updates galore. While maybe not exciting to read, there are so many, it will make you think twice about overlooking this one. Updates include: quartz countertops and subway tile; stainless steel oven with gas cooktop; dishwasher; additional attic insulation; new wooden fence; new AC compressor; new sprinkler system; hand scraped, engineered wood flooring throughout; interior and exterior painting; new lighting fixtures; new window coverings; remodeled baths; and extensive landscaping.
