Magical Lakewood Mediterranean Is Like a Siren Calling Creatives Home

I have been in this home not once, but twice! It was on the 2013 Lakewood Home Tour, which was my second dose of 7130 Brookcove; The first was a few years before. I was auditioning for a role in a film the owner (the homeowner) was shooting there. The beautiful front archway leading to the front door appealed to me immediately. I mean, what a way to distinguish your home!

And now, this home is on the market, creating a wonderful opportunity to buy a home that no one would dare call “cookie-cutter.” In fact, this home cuts the cookie!

“The minute you drive up and see the arches and sculpture garden, you want to see more,” says listing agent Jean Bateman. “This multigenerational home bustles with energy and talent, while at the same time envelops you in pure family warmth.”

The home is spacious and surprisingly large at 7,648 square feet, but you will never realize how spacious it actually is. Rooms are colorful and warm, utilizing tile, thick plaster walls, colorful paints, and wood accents, be it beams, cabinetry or accent wood. There are curved walls and fireplaces, and the home is large enough to accommodate a family of five-plus.

It has formals and the most cook-friendly kitchen in East Dallas, complete with an enormous center island, all the best appliances, and a walk-in baker’s cupboard plus walk-in pantry. (Everyone who bakes should have one of these. It keeps all utensils organized and findable.)

There are five bedrooms total, including two primaries — one up, one down — all completely en suite. There is a two-bedroom guest house, a three-plus car garage, plus a great room with a wet bar that opens up for seamless entertaining.

It’s like the perfect home to grow up in: the artist’s touch is evident everywhere.

The Perfect Two-Office Home

“I love holding it open and having the resident artist greet everyone in what she calls ‘Paradise’ — her two-story art studio. This space would also function for so many uses such as a workout space, home office, and more,” says Bateman.

It is spaces like those that are coveted in homes now more than ever, as families find themselves working at home and needing not just one but two offices.

We have not even mentioned the exteriors! Forget the family vacation, everyone will gravitate to 7130 Brookcove’s backyard. Lush gardens are everywhere, dotted with creative arches and sculptures. The backyard is definitely a resort with a huge, custom-designed pool and spa, fountain, pergola, covered kitchen, bar, and firepit.

Walk to White Rock From Green Cove Estates

The location is, of course, pristinely perfect. You are in Green Cove Estates, right off GreenTree Lane and within walking distance to White Rock Lake. Close enough to Mockingbird for quick access, not too close for noise.

This amazing home has more flavor on its front porch than most homes do in their entire square footage. Jean Bateman at Allie Beth Allman and Associates has listed 7130 Brookcove for $2.8 million.
