This Forest Hills Home is Fully Transformed for Leisurely Living

The secret to a standout renovation isn’t as simple as it may seem. For the perfect update, a few factors must come together. Of course, layout and interior design are some of the most important attributes. However, craftsmanship, quality materials, and location are also key. Harnessing and harmonizing each of these elements is an art. When done correctly, the home becomes more than just a dwelling. It becomes a statement.

For this week’s Inwood Home of the Week sponsored by Inwood National Bank, we have a prime example of renovation perfected.

This beautiful three-bedroom, two- and one half-bath, 2,671-square-foot stunner begs to be explored. Located in Forest Hills, this home not only offers incredible design but is in a destination East Dallas neighborhood. Let’s have a look.

From the curb, this home is classic and attractive. Soft slate finishes and a manicured lawn set the tone for the sophistication that awaits inside.

Upon entering, these expectations are exceeded. The $175,000-dollar renovation is immediately apparent with beautiful oak hardwoods, crisp finishes, and an open, inviting feel. Also, the 12-foot beamed cathedral ceilings add an element of grandeur that is striking from all angles.

Since the layout is so easy and open, it makes this home an entertainer’s dream. The living room features tons of charm and centers around a warm hearth. The elegant wood-burning fireplace adorned with linear brick will keep you warm this upcoming winter season. Also, since this space features direct proximity to the climate-controlled sunroom, it serves as a center to the all-encompassing experience.  

Then, the kitchen is easily accessible, allowing residents to prepare meals without missing out on gatherings. With granite countertops, a gas range, custom-crafted cabinetry, and a huge center island, it’s expertly geared for the gourmet in any home.

Then, this home raises the wow factor with a formal library. Surrounded by elegant shelving and enchanting design, this is an excellent space for taking a timeout and relaxing with a good book.

The primary bedroom makes for a dream retreat. This room is as cozy as you can imagine with ample light and comfortable quarters. Therefore, evenings spent inside couldn’t be better.

Then, the renovated bathroom allows for a serene escape. Here, a frameless glass walk-in shower, soaking tub, and custom vanity raise the bar for any morning routine.

Finally, the backyard is a spacious outdoor destination. With a covered porch that extends from the sunroom, entertaining could not be more dynamic.
