Lake Highlands is sought after — that’s no revelation. So when we found three homes in three different price points that all have open houses this week, we knew we hit the jackpot for our Daltxrealestate.com Open Houses of the Week.
This week, our houses range in price from $489,000 to $1.175 million. Which ones will you visit?
ARCHITECT’S HOME IN URBAN RESERVE
Open house: Sunday, Oct. 21, 1-3 p.m.
We say it time and time again — if you ever have the chance to buy an architect’s personal home, do it. And 80 Vanguard Way, the home of architect Evan Beattie, is definitely your chance to do that.
This Lake Highlands modernist home was designed by Beattie with sustainability in mind and constructed by Brian Gream. It’s at the end of a cul-de-sac and backs to a park. And if all that nature at your back door wasn’t enough, the White Rock Creek Trail is across the way.
An open floor plan with soaring ceilings that make the generous common areas seem even grander and spacious is anchored by reclaimed hardwood floors, museum-finish walls, and metal windows. An entertainer’s kitchen with quartz counters is open to both the living and dining areas, which have separate terraces, and the master suite boasts its own covered patio, along with an en-suite with a soaking tub, dual head steam shower, and a large walk-in closet.
The four bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home also has another guest suite downstairs, and two more bedrooms and a game room upstairs. Outside, a courtyard with a fire pit and fountains invites al fresco entertaining.
The home was listed Oct. 12 by the Perry-Miller Streiff Group for $1,175,000.
UPDATED TRADITIONAL TWO DAYS ON THE MARKET
Open houses: Saturday, Oct. 20, 2-4 p.m.; Sunday, Oct. 21, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.
Move-ready and beautifully upgraded, this traditional home built in 1978 is truly turnkey. Located at 10102 Dove Trail Circle, its upgrades aren’t just skin deep, either — we’re talking some practical upgrades like a new roof and improved foundation, too, as well as new HVAC units and water heater.
And the curb appeal on this home — pulling up to the curve, you aren’t going to be able to resist going in to check out the new finishes that came along with this updated home — like new engineered hardwood floors in the common areas and carpet in the bedrooms to keep toes nice and toasty in cooler months. New windows bring in light and make the five-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath home feel airy and bright.
The inviting kitchen is ready for holiday entertaining, too, with its new stainless steel appliances. Add in a gorgeous master suite with access to the big backyard, and bathrooms that have been refreshed to include new shower glass, vanities, and LED mirrors.
Outside, a patio with a deck overlooks a big backyard perfect for a family.
The home was listed by Oct. 17 Phyllis Song of Keller Williams Realty Arlington for $649,950.
HIGHLANDS WEST HOME ZONED FOR MERRIMAN PARK ELEMENTARY
Open houses: Thursday, Oct. 18, 1-6 p.m.; Friday, Oct. 19, 8 a.m.-6 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 20, 8 a.m.-6 p.m.
Tree-lined streets? Check. Great schools? Check. Gorgeous remodel? Check.
This Highlands West home got a complete renovation with entertaining in mind, and a layout that is also family-friendly.
From the new wide-plank hardwood floors that are present throughout the home to the open concept floor plan, the three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath home at 7704 Lemmonwood Dr. is waiting for a family that needs a place to host those holiday parties and Thanksgiving dinners.
Take that kitchen, for instance, with its quartz counters, amazing light fixtures, and new stainless steel GE appliances — that place is just waiting for some platters of Christmas cookies and makings for hot chocolate.
And the upgrades don’t stop there — all the bathrooms (including the master en-suite) have new tile, upgraded vanities and polished chrome fixtures for bright, sleek, modern looks.
In addition, the home has a second living room upstairs, a sunroom, and a backyard with a lovely deck. And bonus, it’s zoned for Merriman Park Elementary.
The home was listed by Hunter Fendley with Bungalo for $489,000.
