A Bluffview Gem With a Beautiful Backyard Retreat

Just northeast of the iconic Bachman Lake, Bluffview is a haven for both quaint American architecture and arresting natural views. This northern Dallas neighborhood is near University Park and Preston Hollow. Therefore, it features easy access to dining, entertainment, and the greatest shopping our city has to offer. For those who like the best of both worlds, this slice of paradise combines open air with avenues of excitement.

In this week’s Inwood Home of the Week sponsored by Inwood National Bank, Mohammed Jaber of Compass Real Estate has a great gem in this area at 9126 Valley Chapel Ln. This 2,180-square-foot home is listed for $575,000. Here’s a look inside.

From the outside, this house is classic. Red brickwork and a large privacy glass window give the home a neat, manicured curb appeal. It’s an appealing standout even among other classic homes on the cul-de-sac.

From the moment you walk into this home, you feel welcome. An open layout with vaulted ceilings and ample natural light make this feel so airy and accessible. Also, the grooved plank flooring and fresh paint throughout highlight the updates this 1982-built home has undergone.

A bright formal dining room with tray ceilings sits just right of the foyer. This would make the perfect place to entertain, yet offer privacy while dining, courtesy of the bay window with privacy glass in a rain-textured glass design.

Then, the rest of the first floor unfolds around a spacious open living room with a cozy painted brick fireplace.

The kitchen is well-suited for the family chef with immaculate granite countertops, a four-burner gas range, and stainless-steel appliances. Also, it features a beautiful island bar that makes a great gathering space for friends and family, plus a breakfast nook that is currently a sitting area.

Three split bedrooms offer plentiful space with two downstairs and one upstairs. The first-floor primary suite has an en suite bath, French door access to the patio, and a verdant view of the beautiful backyard (more on that to come).

The primary bathroom is a true retreat. It includes an oversized walk-in shower and giant soaking tub. Also, dual vanities round out this perfect spa experience. A walk-in closet is just off the bathroom and is big enough to accommodate any wardrobe.

Another bedroom and bathroom featuring a walk-in shower with sleek, modern fixtures and a cool pool blue hue round out the downstairs rooms. Upstairs, the third bedroom features a fireplace, en suite bathroom, and walk-in closet.

Last but not least, the backyard is a getaway all its own.

It backs right up to a tree-lined creek and gives the whole home a feeling of natural seclusion from the commotion of the city. Here, a treehouse-like deck extends wide for creek views while tons of play space below makes this yard a dream backyard for kids or pups.
