But you may not be quite sure yet.
So, why not rent a gorgeous luxury home that will offer you fantastic amenities until you find the lot, builder, and location of your dreams?
That’s what this gorgeous 2008 home at 2805 Rosedale offers. It’s in the northwest area of University Park, in a neighborhood called Summit Lawn. It has five bedrooms, six full and one half bath, and almost 5,000 square feet including an office, a huge master suite, and a game room above the two-car garage. And you can lease this beauty, which is inside Highland Park ISD, for $8,000 a month.
It’ll be available June 1 through the Hickman Weber group of Dave Perry-Miller and Associates, and it’s just phenomenal for anyone who wants plenty of room for their family. With formals and a large wet bar/butler’s pantry, plus three fireplaces, you’ll find a place and a reason in this home to relax. And it has some wonderfully charming details for a home just 6 years old. Check out the cool leaded glass, beautiful hardwood floors, wide baseboards and trim, and transom windows. Lovely!
The kitchen is well-appointed with two-tone cabinets and a huge island. Commercial-grade appliances fit in perfectly, and the breakfast nook has a cool bench and great lighting. You’ll also love the way this area opens to the family room, which has tons of built-ins and windows that look out to the small, easy-to-maintain backyard.
The master bedroom is upstairs and, thanks to the sharp pitch of the roof, has some dramatic vaulted ceilings. It’s spacious at 15 x 16, and has some lovely details, including a fireplace and plenty of room for oversized furniture. A lovely feature of this suite is the separate vanity in the hallway. It works so well with the space, and gives a lovely reprieve for those husbands who easily tire of vanity clutter on the shared countertop.
The master bath is a sleek, transitional five-piece affair with frameless glass shower and jetted jacuzzi tub. The suite also includes a huge walk-in closet and tons of built-ins for keeping yourself organized despite your habits (trust me, we all lose our glasses when they’re perched atop our heads!).
So if you’re still wondering about what the fuss is about living in University Park, but not quite ready to dip your toe into this very competitive market, this home would be a fantastic way to try it on before you buy!
