This North Dallas Home Is Updated, Offers Views, and the Built-Ins Are the Business

This is a gorgeous, well-updated home set on a corner lot in Dallas’ Prestonwood West neighborhood. The way the home is situated — with its wraparound stone wall and landscaping — adds to the grandeur. Plus you have a circular driveway, which means you have yourself a natural valet set-up for your holiday party. That’s grandeur.

Inside, it’s all top-of-the-line everything. High ceilings throughout, an incredible floorplan, spacious and well-appointed kitchen. There’s a buzzword for you. Well-appointed. What does it mean?!?!?

Well, great appliances, wine fridge and dry bar, double oven, fresh cabinetry, and tons of counter space, plus an incredible island with lots of built-in storage underneath. The sink and dishwasher are also tucked into the island. That’s well-appointed.

All the light, bright neutrals are the perfect complement to the dark hardwood floors. And look carefully at that living room picture. Those are up-close-and-personal views of the backyard swimming pool from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Plus, peek that classic Gazebo in the backyard as well. Like one of the ones with balusters and a roof that’s covered in the same composite shingles of the house. If you’ve ever wanted to eat outdoors in a semi-pro setting, this is your chance! Seriously, is there anything this house doesn’t get right? Let’s all just go live there. Show of hands??

The primary bedroom is extremely generous and has something I think we all need to be bringing back — built-in drawers and shelving.

Built-ins are the perfect place to display photos of family and friends and maybe even a knick-knack or two. Get some old leather-bound books and make believe like you actually read the classics. Then probably buy a pipe and a smoking jacket to round out the narrative.

Nice bathroom too, with a huge shower, freestanding bathtub, a notched-out vanity, and a TV so you can catch up on E! News while you suds away your day. Final thrill of the day? The primary closet with its own island of drawers and yep, you guessed it — more built-ins. I think we’re on to something here.

In addition to this being a beautiful house, it’s a good school bonanza, too. It feeds into Plano ISD and Haggar Elementary, one of the most desirable schools in PISD, and crescendos into Plano West Senior High. If you’re up for private school, Trinity Christian Academy and Shelton are basically within walking distance as well.

Dave Perry-Miller’s Valerie Neely has 5704 Timberbent Drive listed for $940,000. Neely will host an open house on Sunday, April 23 from 2 to 4 p.m.. Check out those built-ins for yourself.
