Dallas Home Builder’s Pride in Hot Devonshire is Dripping With Charm

This is a beautiful almost newly constructed home at 5735 Stanford in the heart of Devonshire that was taken down to the studs in 2012 by quality home builder LRO Construction (a CandysDirt approved home builder) and expanded. When you see it, you will think it’s a brand new house. The traditional charm just evokes images of a fairy-like setting and New England cape cods. Put your feet up on that porch. The structure is quite traditional, but still jam packs a lot into the square footage.

There are four bedrooms, three full and one-half bath. And get this: the master and TWO bedrooms are downstairs, with only one bedroom and a game room upstairs. How versatile is that? Perfect for a long term guest (I’m talking about grown up kids, boomerangs?) or little kids and a playroom. How about the kid with the best grades gets to live upstairs away from mom and dad? And the kitchen — love that planked painted ceiling! The kitchen sports the open concept, embracing the family room. I love that the mud room & laundry room are by the back door, near the entrance to the two car attached garage. (What are people thinking with no mud room to buffer your entrance to the house?)

The floor plan rocks,  with a roomy back yard to boot for kids or grandchildren to make family memories. Or fill it with a pool for the ultimate in zero lot line, maintenance free exterior living. The master bedroom is huge, and I love the elegant master spa bath retreat. The home totals 3563 square feet, on .5 of an acre with two stories. A complete and unfettered remodel from a home built in 1960. Asking is $1,149,000 listed with Marc Ching of Allie Beth Allman.
