This Lake Highlands Beauty Is a Breath Of Fresh Air

A character-rich Lake Highlands home just hit the market and offers a pool and privacy for under $500,000! And that’s not all. It sits on a mature corner lot with not one but two home offices, making life for those who work from home that much easier.

Throw in an abundance of natural light, plenty of architectural detail, and scenic trails nearby, and you have the recipe for living well. 

The house at 9512 Whitehurst “is a home that’s been maintained with love,” says listing agent Nicole Piccola with Compass. “My clients have really loved this home and all of its charm. When they chose to purchase it, they loved that it wasn’t a typical flipped property.”

Let’s take a closer look and see what makes this Friday Four Hundred so special.

The Lake Highlands Looker Sits On A Mature Lot With A Pool And Privacy

First of all, we adore the lush corner lot with grassy lawn and blooming trees. Even better, the home rests in a sought-after Lake Highlands enclave, backing to trails and sits just minutes from all things Dallas.

But behind the scenes there is so much more to love. This includes a sparkling pool and patio with total privacy, just in time for summer entertaining.

“All of the landscaping in the spring and summer really come to life with all the blossoms of the crate myrtles, canna lilies, Hibiscus, and peonies behind the pool, turning it into its own little oasis in the city,” reveals Piccola.

Light And Airy And Packed With Charm In Prime Lake Highlands

Step inside the four-bedroom, two-full-and-one-half-bathroom home and you’ll quickly see the charm. From the vaulted beam ceilings, to the Austin stone fireplace, and elegant archways, there is nothing cookie cutter about it – a dream for someone looking to add their own designer touch. 

“The wood floors and the Austin stone fireplace wall really make the living room special,” adds Piccola. “It has two areas that can be used for working at home, or even a little homework and playroom.”

We love the vaulted living room with skylights, detailed paneling, and refinished floors. Plus, it offers a hidden wet bar to craft your own cocktails.

Eat-In Kitchen Affords A Sunny Bay Window Breakfast Nook

Nearby, the granite kitchen comes complete with sunny bay window breakfast nook for morning coffee, met by ample white cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, including double ovens and a wine fridge. A formal dining with intricate moldings and two flex spaces to create your home office make this one fab find. 

Oversized Primary Suite Is A Tranquil Retreat With Two Walk-In Closets

For rest and relaxation, head to the tranquil primary suite. It offers double walk-in closets, as well as an en-suite bath with separate shower and garden tub. Guest rooms are equally comfortable and spacious, offering plenty of space to spread out in this 2,704-square-foot home.

Outside, Your Private Oasis Awaits

Lastly, you’ll enjoy a lovely breezeway leading to your sparkling pool and patio for cooling off when the temperatures rise. Per the listing, the corner lot also allows for plenty of guest parking for summer pool parties and events.

Perfect For Those Who Want Cozy Charm And Access To Nearby Elementary

“I think this home would be great for a buyer with similar tastes, that appreciate the cozy charm of this 70’s build,” says Piccola. “It’s great for a buyer that doesn’t mind making a few adjustments to bring it to the 2021 trends in a home with great family layout.”

“It’s chilly today, but when we get back into our Texas Summer, the new owner will certainly appreciate having their own pool to cool down,” Piccola said. “And right across the street is the elementary school that is currently getting a $2.8 million upgrade.”
