Hospitality Meets Personality in This Palatial Lakewood Home

Lakewood is one of those neighborhoods that isn’t exactly easy to define from an aesthetic perspective. Unlike the M Streets with its proliferation of Craftsman and Tudors, or Preston Hollow with its hallmark traditional and transitional varieties, Lakewood offers a wide range of styles across an array of eras and architectural movements. Many of the homes here are so unique they defy convention entirely. It’s these homes that, at least for me, actually define this iconic Dallas neighborhood. Of course, whether they’re contemporary custom gems or French Eclectic eye-catchers, almost all homes in the Lakewood mix are masterpieces.

For this week’s Inwood Home of the Week sponsored by Inwood National Bank, we’re particularly pumped to show off a Lakewood home that is brimming with personality. This elegant three-bedroom, three-bathroom, 3,416-square-foot home definitely deserves a closer look.

Nestled on nearly half an acre, the home evokes a rare sort of Southern charm.  It’s not exactly a plantation style but blends many of those elements with traditional design and innovative features. The dual circular windows on the second floor especially give it a distinct style and balance the dynamic façade.

Upon walking into this home, elegance and attention to detail are defining characteristics. With multiple gathering areas including an ornate formal living room, this home was designed for effortless entertaining.

Then, everything opens up to an incredible kitchen complete with an enormous eat-in island, beautiful backyard views, and commercial-grade appliances. Also, a connected bar creates even more opportunities for those unforgettable entertaining experinces.

The primary suite is just as luxurious as you might expect. It features its own outdoor access and sitting area. The privacy factor is unparalleled. Also, dual closets allow for owners to organize their wardrobes easily and efficiently.

The ensuite bathroom blends unique style and luxurious sophistication. Here, a centerpiece soaking tub anchors elegant dual vanities and looks out on an impeccable view of the backyard.

The kicker for this home is that it includes a guest suite complete with a full kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and home gym. Whether providing a comfortable space for family or friends, this extra bit of square footage is an excellent answer for allowing maximum hospitality without sacrificing any of your personal space.

Lastly, all of this centers around an impeccable backyard paradise. An immaculate outdoor pool and an abundance of sitting areas allow parties to spillover into the great outdoors. Just imagine birthdays, holidays, and plenty of backyard barbecues — the sky is the limit.

After exploring this perfect Lakewood pad, it’s never been more apparent that this unique neighborhood features the best of all worlds.
