A Traditional Lake Highlands Home With The One Thing You Want Most

What’s the single most important thing in real estate? Location. It’s so important they say it three times just to aggravate you. And the latest listing from Dave Perry-Miller’s Janna Schick and Dixey Arterburn checks all three of those boxes.

It’s located in Northeast Dallas in Lake Highlands and feeds into Moss Haven Elementary, a highly sought-after elementary school in Richardson Independent School District. Since you’re in RISD, you also have the opportunity to lottery into one of three magnet elementary schools – Arapaho Classical Magnet, Hamilton Park Pacesetter Magnet, and Math Science Technology Magnet. (But if you are interested in learning about any of the magnet schools or program itself, check out the Information Meeting on Wed., February 22 at PDC Auditorium, 701 W. Belt Line Road.)

What else does this house have going for it? Well, how much time do you have? It’s a traditional, updated neutrally and there’s still room for your vision. Speaking of room, it’s roomy. With over 2,600 square feet, an open flow from the kitchen to the living and dining area, four bedrooms, and two living areas, there’s plenty of space to spread out a bit. And speaking of out, which is apparently a themed segue in this article, the backyard is fabulous.

There are actually two covered patios and one has a built-in stone and granite bar. There’s plenty of seating, an outdoor television, a firepit for when it’s a little chilly and you’re feeling those S’Mores and two ceiling fans for when it’s a little toasty and you’re craving a gentle breeze off your Mai Thai. And, of course, there’s a covered grill, too, for year-round outdoor cooking.

The pool is situated in a way where there’s plenty of decking for loungers, a water feature, and room leftover for low-maintenance artificial grass. The fence was recently stained, the pool refurbished, and again, let’s give it up for that coveted combo of Dallas address and Richardson schools.

If you want to check out 9201 Dove Meadow Drive, feel free to pop into the Open House this Sunday, Jan. 22 from 2 to 4 p.m.. Schick and Arterburn have Dove Meadow listed for $680,000.
