White Rock Valley is one of Lake Highland’s most beautiful areas. Nestled next to Flagpole Hill’s 107 acres, it’s as if the parkland wraps the neighborhood in a warm hug. Living here is about as close as you can get to nature in Dallas and still live in luxury.
“I love this neighborhood,” Local Resident Realty Realtor Amy Timmerman said. “White Rock Valley is unique for a few different reasons. It’s in the city, but you have the luxury of Richardson ISD and the extremely desirable White Rock Elementary School. The neighborhood has wide streets and rolling hills. You can walk across the street to get to the trail access and near all the great locally-owned shops. Flagpole Hill and White Rock Lake are minutes away. It’s like being in a small town in a big city with the best of both worlds!”
The Dallas Morning News chose White Rock Valley to be one of the 10 Best Neighborhoods in the city as early as 2013.
With White Rock Creek Greenbelt and Flag Pole Hill Park to the south and west, this corner of Lake Highlands is a surprising neighborhood. Didn’t know this is one of the places in the region with the best access to parks and green space? Residents do.
And indeed, the residents do know what a great place this is to live. That’s why it’s so hard to find a home here, but if your luck holds, this beautiful White Rock Valley timeless traditional might still be available after the holidays!
Originally built in 1959, the home was taken to the studs in 2007 and entirely rebuilt by Jody Kennedy, who was known for only accepting a few commissions each year, generally in the$4-5 million dollar range. That’s significant because builders working in that range are always dedicated to quality, regardless of list price. And that is evident throughout this gorgeous home, from the herringbone-patterned hardwood flooring in the foyer to the fine millwork details. When you think about attention to detail, in 2007, no one was producing small marble tiles, so Kennedy had craftsmen hand-cut imported marble for the kitchen’s backsplash to match the countertops.
We know buyers today long for a timeless traditional floorplan. After two years of being in close quarters, we know private spaces are essential to family harmony. With 5,765 square feet, five bedrooms, four bathrooms, one powder bath, and two game rooms, the entire family will be happy here!
“It’s a home with true generational versatility,” Timmerman said. “With both the principal and guest suites downstairs, and three upstairs, it’s an excellent option for families looking for a multi-generational living concept.”
With a location close to a significant green space, you will not be dealing with noise, and privacy is a given in this timeless white Rock Valley traditional home. That’s an important home feature when you understand how much time you’ll be spending outside. There are two covered patios, an outdoor kitchen, and a necessity for any Texas summer, a Riverbend Sandler resort-style pool!
“It takes your breath away when you walk out onto the porch,” Timmerman said. “It’s like being on vacation.”
Amy Timmerman has just listed this White Rock Valley timeless traditional at 9733 Shoreview Road for $2.56 million.
