CUSTOM RENOVATED RANCH WITH MODERN FLARE IN LAKEWOOD ELEMENTARY ZONE
Open house: Sunday, Sept. 24, 3:30-5 p.m.
The custom home at 7115 Shook Ave. in Lakeshore Hills has so much going for it: a hot neighborhood, excellent elementary, and gorgeous renovations, to start. This house has four bedrooms, four bathrooms, two living areas, two dining areas, and 3,899 square feet on one story, built in 1955 and remodeled in 2011. It sits on the southwest shores of White Rock Lake, near Garland Road and Gaston Avenue.
The long list of updates includes new electrical, three-zone HVAC, plumbing, water heater, aluminum-clad Pella windows, and landscaping. The kitchen impresses with soft-close alder cabinets, a bi-level island with breakfast bar, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances, including a gas cooktop. The oversized master suite features a sweet bathroom with contemporary soaker tub, dual sinks, and separate shower. There’s a 900-square-foot attached guest quarters with a kitchen and its own separate attached garage — perfect for a mother-in-law suite. The low-maintenance backyard offers a large concrete patio, pretty landscaping, built-in grill, horizontal board-on-board privacy fence, and an arching shade tree to keep it all a little cooler.
JUNIUS HEIGHTS PRAIRIE CRAFTSMAN THAT MARRIES HISTORIC AND NEW

TOTALLY UPDATED CUTE COTTAGE WITH FAB LOCATION
Open house: Sunday, Sept. 24, 2-4 p.m.
Get a fabulous location for under $400K with the house at 4915 Wren Way near West Mockingbird Lane and Inwood Road in the Shannon Estates neighborhood. It offers immediate access to the Dallas North Tollway and is close to Dallas Love Field, Inwood Village, Uptown, and Highland Park Village. This home has three bedrooms, one bathroom, and 1,508 square feet on one story, built in 1947.
It offers contemporary design with big buyer “wants” throughout, from cute curb appeal and hardwood floors to a totally renovated kitchen and gray-and-white color palette.

Hardwoods extend into two of the bedrooms and the bathroom is updated, as well. The backyard has a pergola-covered deck, a detached two-car garage, privacy fence, and lots of grass.
