Lovely Lake Highlands Abode with Big Attention to Detail

Some renovations just try too hard. They layer on trend after trend until the overall feel is generic and unmemorable.

Not the case with our Thursday Three Hundred at 10316 Longmeadow Dr. in Lake Highlands. This 1958 traditional had good bones and the owners kept the character, adding stylish updates that enhance the overall feel and function without overwhelming. 

This home has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living areas, and 1,470 square feet on one story, and it was just listed last week. Let’s take a peek before it goes under contract. 

The curb appeal is darling, with a brick exterior, mature landscaping, and arching shade trees.

Inside, you’re greeted by original refinished hardwood floors and a built-in niche with glass shelves in the front living area. To the right, pocket doors lead to a bedroom. Straight ahead, sliding track doors cross an oversized doorway to lead to the open dining area and kitchen. Three large windows keep this living area bright. 

The dining area-kitchen is on-trend, without being cloying. Hardwoods extend to this area, where a large window and French doors look out onto the backyard. The kitchen features quartz countertops and a butcher block island. There are also new cabinets, a detailed backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range.

The master bedroom has those hardwoods and a walk-in closet. Its ensuite bath offers dual sinks, gray cabinets, storage closet, and a glass shower with a wall niche. 

The backyard is a pleasant surprise, with big trees, custom water feature, lighting, covered patio, detached two-car garage, and an electric gate that expands the usable entertainment space in back.

This home was listed July 9 by James Donovan with Keller Williams Realty Plano for $359,000.
