Contemporary Lake Highlands Patio Home Shines for This Week’s Tuesday 200

For this week’s Tuesday Two Hundred, we found this Lake Highlands patio home at 9646 Baseline Drive that’s a great lock-and-leave option for downsizers and frequent travelers, listed for $265,000 by Mitchell Sanders of Robert Elliott and Associates.

Located in a quiet enclave of detached patio homes with a community pool, the 2,151-square-foot home has four bedrooms and three baths that have been fully updated. A sunken living room features a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, arched ceilings, a wall of north-facing windows, and nearby wet bar.

The kitchen features black granite countertops, white cabinets, built-in microwave, oven, dishwasher, and casual dining that opens out onto the private back patio. Upstairs you’ll find the master bedroom, second bedroom, and a high-ceiling loft with fireplace and built-in bookshelf.

Homeowners association fees cover weekly mowing, landscaping, and maintenance of the community pool and spa. This home has two gated stone patios that offer outdoor living and space for entertaining, but privacy and security for the perfect lock-and-leave lifestyle. It’s zoned for highly-rated Richardson ISD in the attendance zone for Aikin Elementary, Forest Meadow Junior High, and Lake Highlands High School.
