Certain things come to mind when picturing a forever home, meant for growing old in and enjoying endlessly with loved ones through the years. That usually includes a pool, a spacious and adaptable layout, and the ability to live on one level. In Dallas’s lovely Lake Highlands neighborhood, a circa-1963 residence just listed that ticks all these boxes and more.
Prepare to fall in love with this all-American dream home that will ebb and flow with you through all stages of life. As you stroll up the winding walkway to the timeless façade, passing trimmed hedges and tall trees, the red front door greets you. A charming first impression, it already feels like coming home.
Stepping inside, an elegant foyer awaits. Imagine welcoming guests here before leading them into the open living and dining area where everyone can mingle and laugh around the fireplace.
With the pool in view through huge windows, it’s the perfect setting for stylish parties as you can swing open the doors allowing everyone to flow in and out with ease. Fabulous for formal or casual entertaining, friends and family will love stopping by to cool off in the water and sip cold drinks in the shade of your chic outdoor seating areas.
But, besides the exciting possibilities for entertaining, what is it that makes this property an ideal fit for young professionals, growing families, or empty nesters? That’s easy: The home’s flexibility. Offering five bedrooms and two bathrooms, there are many ways it can be configured to fit your evolving lifestyle. Currently, the primary suite sits on the first level with four bedrooms upstairs, but it would be easy to adjust the layout to fit your needs to a T.
For example, you could always turn this first-floor bedroom into an expansive home office and merge two bedrooms upstairs to become your ultimate sanctuary. In the future, if work has slowed down a bit and so have you, move downstairs with ease and make your former upstairs suite into a media room, luxurious guest room, or playroom for grandkids.
Making the home even more desirable, the 9817 Estate Lane address places you in a wonderful school system. A great value in a great location, this is a listing you don’t want to miss. To set up a showing, contact Susan Bradley of Allie Beth Allman & Associates at 214-674-5518.
