Fall in Love With This Shorecrest Beauty

This week’s Inwood Home of the Week, sponsored by Inwood National Bank, takes us to Lakemont Drive in the ever-popular Shorecrest neighborhood of Dallas. This lovely neighborhood of 1950s-built homes is nestled in the shadow of Bluffview near Love Field, where large lots, beautifully mature trees and landscaping, and natural amenities are the norm. Bachman Park, a secret little gem, is just steps away and Bachman Creek meanders north of this verdant neighborhood.

But I’d consider this home listed by Chris Hickman of Ebby Halliday Realtors to be in the creme de la creme of Lakemont because it’s located in a secluded little cul de sac of homes that enjoy over-oversized lots and hardly any street traffic. Needless to say, this home at 8818 Lakemont has a lot going for it.

Inside, you’ll find the bones of a 1953-built Ranch style updated with 2020s sophistication and style. This three-bedroom, three-bath has two living areas in this open floor plan that’s great for entertaining. The formal living and dining have great flow to the kitchen with large island. The kitchen offers marble counters, display cabinets, and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen also opens to the second living area with a fireplace and overlooks the large backyard with pergola and an outdoor kitchen.

The large primary suite stuns with a perfectly gray-blue accent wall. When you head to the open house this Saturday, resist the urge to run your hands along the relief of the wall. At least try. There are two additional bedrooms, each with their own updated bathroom.

Chris Hickman of Ebby Halliday Realtors has listed 8818 Lakemont Drive for $1.2 million.
