This is a way cool home in a way cool neighborhood listed with two way cool agents who also happen to live in the neighborhood. It’s Wood Ridge West in Cedar Hill, right by Joe Pool Lake and Cedar Hill State Park, and was designed and constructed before the lake even existed.
The developer completed 14 custom homes in the neighborhood. They were all spec homes and what a freaking vision to develop this little pocket of Hill Country living just outside of Dallas’ city limits. Obviously, well within Cedar Hill city limits, but I digress. Or do I? I think I’ve just always wanted to say that. ANYWAY, y’all, how fun is this house?
It’s such a total artist’s retreat. The Saltillo tile, the BLUE bathtub, and the matching sinks plus blue tile on the shower floor. I mean, come on!
A Green Escape in Wood Ridge West
The current owners are master naturalists and needless to say the backyard is breathtaking. In fact, Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate’s Emily Ruth and Chris Cannon said the abundance of windows serves the very purpose of showing off the backyard because the outside is the art.
Like, there are so many windows — and a skylight — and each offers the most serene, peaceful, green-on-green-on-green views. On the property, there’s a waterfall and so many trees and shrubs, all meticulously maintained because again, MASTER NATURALISTS.
Just beyond the actual backyard, there’s Joe Pool Lake so it feels like it’s in your backyard, too. And that’s a fact that makes us all say, wait, why aren’t we all living out there?
Now on the interior — it’s not ALL about the blue bathtub, though it kind of is. But, you also have classic, clean lines and a sense of openness that you don’t find in a lot of homes from this era unless they’ve been reconfigured. It has log-cabin-meets-modern vibes. This amazing natural retreat that I sincerely can’t believe is this close to Dallas.
The primary suite is upstairs with a private balcony where you can go outside and take in your incredibly stunning views. In the listing description, Cannon says the waterfall “provides the soundtrack to relaxation.” Love that and isn’t it so true?! Like just looking at these pictures you breathe a little slower, your shoulders relax, and you seem to remember to slow down and enjoy life because baby, this one’s all we’ve got.
Cannon has 1710 Hidden Canyon Loop listed for $440,000 and there’s an Open House this Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m. Stop by, say hi, and then comment on how even the name of the street is serene!
