Over in South Dallas, there’s a family home with a dream layout. It’s set on one-third acre in Bretton Woods. Inspired by Craftsman architecture, but new construction. It’s like the Anthropologie of homes. It looks “vintage” but it’s basically brand new.
Dave Perry-Miller’s Emily Ruth Cannon said the side garden is the jam. It’s an impressive area with raised Tetris-shaped beds on top of a stretch of gravel. The fence is wrought iron so you can really flex your green thumb skills and showboat just a little bit for all the neighbors. You can practically see the Yard of the Month sign in the front yard.
Speaking off, with low maintenance landscaping and just the right amount of covered front porch, the curb appeal on this one is palpable. In the backyard there’s plenty of space to create your own oasis and you already have a pretty legit head start with the poured concrete patio. Gorgeous roses climb the cedar-wrapped posts and create an inviting space due in large part to that ceiling fan popped up top. (Talking about yesterday’s climbing temps, y’all.)
On the inside you’ll find hand-scrapped hardwoods, encaustic tile in the bathrooms, neutral paint, a few architectural elements like the notched out bedroom ceilings and on-trend details all over the place.
Of all the rooms in this house, the kitchen just might steal the show. It’s large, impressive and efficient. There’s plenty of cabinet and countertop space and the hand-painted cabinet pulls offer a little extra something to make it feel special.
Now about that family home dream…well, the backyard has a lot to do with it. As does the split Primary bedroom and the additional two bedrooms that share a bathroom. But what really makes it shine is the entire in-law suite upstairs.
All that and there’s room behind either side gate to park an RV in case you want to make like the Partridge Family and take this show on the road.
Cannon has 3116 Larkspur Lane listed for $579,000. It will be open on Sunday from 1:00pm to 3:00om.
