We just love this house, because it has everything we (meaning, I) am looking for in (our) my next home: fantastic spaces, storage, elegance, rooms you can use, and just enough green space. I always seem to be at war with sprinkler systems and that’s it, I’m over them. Give me turf, give me gravel, just get rid of the grass!
1809 Westover Drive is also gated for maximum security, so you can lock her up and leave to go hiking in New Zealand, sailing in the Carribbean, or babysit the kiddos in Northern California.
And yet, when you are home, you are not cramped into a condo or have to deal with getting in or out of lobbies.
Instead, there is a courtyard entrance with a pretty terraced garden pathway. Inside, the place is a total knock-out!
The home is located in Westover Square, the “newer” end of Westover, an oasis of heaven. Cross over Roaring Springs Road and you are in the high rent district of Westover Hills.
The lot is only .16 of an acre, not even one quarter, but who cares? The home is 6267 square feet of beautifully decorated, yummy space that will melt your heart.
Enter into a handsome foyer, wallpapered. Works for me, as the design blends right into the beautiful, oversized light fixture. Oh wait: that fixture stays with the sellers, never mind: change out the paper and get a new light.
The home has tall (12 foot) ceilings plus open spaces, symmetry and balance. The foyer flows to formal living which flows into the dining room, then kitchen and breakfast room, and the family room. The home was deftly remodeled recently with extraordinary craftsmanship and impeccable materials.
Just take a look at the kitchen!
Built in 1983, the home is on a slab with a three car garage and golf cart garage. There are four bedrooms, five full (and one half) baths and the master has his/her’s separate baths — really the only way to go. A sun porch off the master is being used as an exercise room. There is an elevator to the upstairs bedrooms, and a community pool which will set you back all of $325. a month. Imagine, a pool at your disposal with no maintenance or upkeep!
Why oh why can we not have more homes like this in Dallas? Listed with Virginia Cook’s Ivey Ramsey for $1,395,000 only on the market since June, 2016.
I guess I am just going to have to move to Fort Worth!
