(Almost) New Home in Lake Highland’s Urban Reserve Is Priced To Dwell

We’re still discovering some random silver linings from the great tornado of 2019. This multi-level, 3,379-square-foot Urban Reserve home, listed by Rhoni Golden of Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate’s Lakewood office, is one of them. 

First, for those who haven’t lived here long, Urban Reserve is an eco-friendly neighborhood of 50 homes on 14 acres in a secluded section of Lake Highlands. So secluded that many who have lived here long don’t know about it because it’s off the beaten path. Any house built here must adhere to the design standards set out by Urban Reserve developer and current resident Diane Cheatham. Those standards include sustainable and regionally sourced materials. It was ahead of its time when it was taking shape in the mid 2000’s, and it still is.

Like the nearby Forest Lane Home Depot that was resurrected from the dead earlier this year, 21 Vanguard Way took a hit from the twister but is back better than ever. You are basically getting a brand new house here (60% was rebuilt) that is a tremendous value for the area.

Golden says, “Anyone who saw this home featured in the CandysDirt.com Open Houses of the Week for last weekend will want to take a closer look. The price has just been dropped and we had new photos taken to give a better sense of its potential. It has a very versatile floor plan. And this is the lowest price per square foot in the neighborhood – leaving room for someone to add their own finishing touches. It’s an excellent opportunity to get into this special community.”

The three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath home towers over White Rock Creek Trail with fantastic treetop vistas. Enjoy the green views from the second floor living room and kitchen while you cook, relax or entertain. There are also two outdoor spaces, dual primary suites, en suite secondary bedrooms and a third floor loft that could be a home office, fitness room or playroom.

The whole “basement” level is a separate 650-square-foot apartment with its own entrance, galley kitchen, full bath, walk-in closet (with its own laundry!) and deck. And guess what else? You can rent it out for additional income as the HOA allows for short-term and long-term rentals!  Of course, it’s perfect for a live-in nanny or college student as well. 

What’s that saying again? “If you rebuild it, they will come…” In this case, someone certainly will.

Rhoni Golden has priced 21 Vanguard Way at $969,900. Call or email for a showing: 214-552-5555 | [email protected].
