Everyone has a criteria for the perfect holiday home. Whether it’s Kinkadian curb appeal, large gathering areas for entertainment, or simply a standout hearth from which to hang stockings, we all have an idea of what makes an ideal home for the holidays. During this season, it isn’t uncommon for buyers to include that Christmas charm factor when browsing for their next abode. Of course, finding the perfect match in a marvelous location is how miracles are made. Thankfully, Old Lake Highlands Estates is here for the perfect holiday home.
For this week’s Inwood Home of the Week sponsored by Inwood National Bank, we’re so excited to show off a beautifully updated property that checks all the boxes.
Chris Hickman with Ebby Halliday Realtors has listed this cozy two-bedroom, two-bathroom, 1,681-square-foot gem that has everything you’d want in a cozy seasonal retreat.
From the curb, the home boasts that classic 1950s aesthetic with a pillar-bridged front porch and pocket gardens throughout. Its character is apparent from the outset.
Old Lake Highlands Estates Beauty Features Classic Design Elements
Of course, the interior is just as exceptional. Featuring a refined layout and multiple renovations, contemporary sophistication complements the classic design. Fresh finishes, new oak hardwoods, and handsome wainscoting immediately set the tone. Arched entryways and multiple built-ins add nuance.
The main living room is open and inviting. It features a beautiful wood-burning fireplace and exudes comfort. Therefore, it has all the stylings of a classic holiday home. Plus, it’s conveniently located next to the home office.
The kitchen is immaculately updated with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and ample storage space. It’s perfect for preparing everything from holiday meals to homemade hits. Also, a direct connection to the formal dining room makes entertaining easy and efficient.
This home boasts two beautifully updated bedrooms, making it excellent for out-of-town guests. Each room pulls in an abundance of natural light from multiple thermal windows and creates serenity for each space.
Both bathrooms feature modern updates and pristine design. They recently renovated the main bathroom to include both a jetted tub and a separate walk-in shower. The clean tilework and crisp finishes make this space both sleek and sophisticated.
For the holidays, it all comes back to entertainment and this home is the perfect example of excellence in this area. It features a big family room that is flooded with sunlight and views of an incredible outdoor oasis.
The backyard is a paradise all of its own. It features serene landscaping and a stunning saltwater pool. Also, all of it is surrounded by a board-on-board cedar fence and complemented by mature trees and a pergola.
