Neighborhoods like Hackberry Creek always remind me of growing up on military bases, which were undoubtedly the first gated community concept. Security was a given, and so was a great lifestyle. If you’ve ever lived in a gated community, it’s always the first choice. If you have not lived in one, trust me, you want to.
Everything has been considered when you live in a master-planned gated community, from layout to landscaping. Hackberry Creek offers beautiful vistas, meandering creeks, and jogging and biking paths. There are unique playgrounds, picnic facilities, and there is even a 9-hole miniature golf park! It’s hard to describe the feeling, but when you purchase a home in a gated community, you are enveloped in an exceptional lifestyle with an almost instant social life.
“Hackberry Creek has been a secret for so long,” RE/MAX DFW Associates listing agent Kimberly Barton with The Marci Barton Group. “People are discovering it because there is a strong desire now for gated communities. We have so much going on as far as social activities. There are lots of parties and gatherings. It’s a very friendly community. People are out and about, running and jogging, and it is so easy to meet your new neighbors.”
Drop Your Worries at The Gates
Built in 1998, you open the door to the porcelain tiled foyer with a dramatic winding iron staircase. The 3,520-square-foot home has been extensively remodeled with high-end finishes, custom floors, and a gorgeous kitchen with a double-island. Open to the great room with a gas fireplace and views over the pool. It’s a perfect area for entertaining.
Entering those gates means dropping the day’s burdens and your blood pressure. That’s one reason you don’t often find homes available like this two-story, move-in-ready Mediterranean-style beauty.
The main home office, which could easily become a fourth bedroom, is on the first floor, but the present owners have cleverly turned the upstairs secondary living area into more home office space. With so many of us working and learning from home now, this is an ideal setup.
Suite Dreams
The enormous owners’ suite is on the second floor with a completely updated bathroom that includes a vessel tub, custom shower, and a huge walk-in closet.
The laundry room and two additional bedrooms are upstairs, allowing for complete privacy from the public areas downstairs.
Resort-Style Backyard
We all love our outdoor spaces, and this Hackberry Creek residence offers a resort-style backyard. You can enjoy complete privacy here while sipping cocktails on the flagstone patio under the pergola in front of the fireplace while the burgers are grilling on the built-in grill. Of course, the feature here is the absolute necessity in Texas — a gorgeous swimming pool!
If you’d rather get out and socialize, the community has a full-color magazine-style newsletter covering all of the neighborhood events and social opportunities.
Barton has 2324 Dobbins Lane listed for $775,000. This is the only property for sale in Hackberry Creek at the moment, so our advice is to give Barton a call immediately.
