We’re Lusting Over This Lakewood Modern That Lives Like a Loft

Say you’ve always dreamed about living in one of those iconic loft buildings that Deep Ellum and the Farmers Market area are just littered with (our favorite is 2220 Canton St.), but after a marriage and a kid, and maybe a dog or two, you’ve outgrown your urban life. It’s time to move to the suburbs. 

Or is it? Can you retain your street cred and live in a posh neighborhood like Lakewood? Actually, with our High Caliber Home of the Week presented by Lisa Peters of Caliber Home Loans, you can. 

“The architecture is sleek and contemporary with an open floor plan, yet the rooms still have definition,” says Robert Kucharski, the David Griffin & Company Realtor listing the Lakewood modern at 6420 Kenwood Dr. “The quality of the materials used to build the home are superior to most others.”

That’s a high compliment for builder Marlon McMakin with Modern Custom Homes. The house was completed in 2015, and still looks just as fabulous as the day it was built. 

As you can see, 6420 Kenwood is just as gorgeous inside as it is from the curb. And there are a lot of upgrades in this four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath, 4,414-square-foot modern, including a state-of-the-art A/V system throughout the home.

Kucharski has listed this gorgeous home for $1.45 million, which seems like a great value considering what you get. And it has so much style that you won’t miss that loft living fantasy with the backyard, detached garage, and high ceilings this home has to offer. Plus, you’re inside the Lakewood Elementary School attendance area — perfect for your growing family — and you’re close to White Rock Lake, too. 

Of course, there’s so much to love here, Kucharski notes.

“My favorite room in the home is the private media room located off the main living room, which can be secluded by closing the over sized custom barn door,” he said.

And he’d be remiss to forget the stunning details, including the wire-brushed, wide-plank white oak floors, which are found throughout the home — there is no carpet. And there’s nothing quite like the staircase chandelier.

“Most buyers are attracted to the oversized glass doors, which can be folded back to allow access to the outdoors,” Kucharski said. “The doors are located off both first-floor living areas, as well as off the master bedroom and second-floor family room. The clerestory windows and the positioning of the other windows (all commercial grade) give the home an abundance of light.”
