14th Annual Lake Highlands Home Tour & Auction is This Weekend!

One of the BEST home tours in town happens this weekend in Lake Highlands, and CandysDirt.com is proud to be a sponsor! Why is the 14th Annual Dream+Inspire+Design Home Tour of the best? One, the neighborhood just rocks it: Lake Highlands, or Old Lake Highlands, or whatever you want to call it is really the Austin of Dallas. The lake is right there, and you can easily cycle everywhere. There is a nature preserve on Van Dyke where you can see the Dallas skyline. They have fireworks and parties there every Fourth of July. People walk with their dogs or babies in strollers. It’s a super active community.” 

Know who told me that? Lake Highlands resident and Clay Stapp agent Barbara Arredondo.

Next reason: the tour benefits the lake Highlands Early Childhood PTA. Children + education = I’m all in.

The 14th Annual Dream+Inspire+Design Home Tour is April 7, 2018.  Tickets are $35.00 per person and include Brunch at Rosine Hall located within the Dallas Arboretum, plus all day admission to the Arboretum and a tour of Five Area Lake Highlands Homes. Tickets can be purchased at www.lhaecpta.org.

Now let’s look at some of the featured homes:

There’s a mid century stunner designed and built by Ju-Nel, the second home designed and built by this coveted Architect/builder duo.  The house provides abundant outdoor views, is flooded with natural light with its open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Of note: the living room exhibits the Japanese influence on the Ju-Nel style, through its wall cutouts and wooden screens. Add in the home’s two-way fireplace and wooden beams, and you have all of Ju-Nel’s trademarks exemplified.

Ah, the piece de resistance: a new build from New Leaf Homes, a Lake Highlands based firm that is exploding across the Metroplex with fantastic quality home construction. (Also one of CandysDirt.com’s newest select home builders!) This five bedroom, four bathroom home highlights a modern design aesthetic with functionality for today’s modern family and the way they live.

Featured home sizes range from 1600 square feet to 4500 square feet, a true taste of the variety of homes that Lake Highlands has to offer.

And like I said, all proceed benefit the Lake Highlands Area Early Childhood PTA. Fantastic!
