Take a Closer Look at This Jewel Box One Block From Highland Park Village

We sometimes use the word “jewel box” to describe a home that is so well put together and sophisticated it looks as if it has been carefully chiseled to perfection to shine like a gemstone.

Such a home is 4437 Livingston Avenue in the heart of Highland Park. It is about a block from the jewel that is Highland Park Village with Park House, Sadelle’s, Cafe Pacific, and the new Dior Cafe said to be soon opening.

You can also walk to Bradfield Elementary in Highland Park ISD, in one of the finest school districts in the state.

The 4,126-square-foot traditional modern home was built in 1979, but you would never know it from the detailed renovation. Every room is polished, sleek, and sophisticated. The home is perfectly suited for a professional couple who entertains frequently, empty nesters, or a bustling family.

Bottom line: This house is ageless and flows from one room to the next.

A Jewel Box That is Also Romantic Fireplace Nirvana

There is a wide-open floor plan with multiple gathering spaces, five fireplaces, and a sophisticated Sonos sound system both indoors and out. The home is blessed with ultra-chic interiors and remodeling by Crown Control Homes, LLC. There are so many state-of-the-art amenities I could write all night long. But let me point out the stunning light fixtures — absolutely divine — and the numerous flat-screen TVs everywhere. I feel like this home must belong to a famous movie director … I digress.

On the main floor, you have stylish oversized formal rooms with handsome hardwoods plus chic Phillip Jeffries grass-cloth wall coverings in the foyer. The living room is perfect for wine tastings and conversation with its fluted limestone-and-marble fireplace and immense quartzite waterfall wet bar, featuring lots of storage plus U-Line refrigerator drawers, a Scotsman ice maker, and — look at that gorgeous white marble tasting sink. 

The other thing I just adore is the dining room — first of all, this home has one and it is defined with a glam branch globe iron sputnik chandelier. The dining room is elegant yet spacious and proximate to the kitchen for ease of serving.

The Waterfall to Beat All Waterfalls

As for that kitchen, it boasts sleek white quartz waterfall countertops. The gourmet cook’s perfect island kitchen and breakfast area are loaded up with name-dropping appliances like a Wolf six-burner gas range top and warming drawer, Miele dishwasher, Bosch double ovens, plus a Sub-Zero refrigerator with refrigerator drawers and freezer.

There is also a wine column refrigerator in the kitchen plus a secondary in the adjacent utility room. With its marble-surrounded fireplace — yes, in the kitchen/breakfast nook area! — the space also boasts a hidden coffee bar/appliance house, a double recycle bin, generous pantry storage, and a mud nook. 

A WFH Office Plus a Designer Den

We know you or a spouse likely work from home, so don’t miss the spacious office, which showcases a herringbone marble-surrounded fireplace and stylish powder room for clients.

The heart of this jewel box is the unique, show-stopping den-media room. This mood-uplifting space is the Rx for relaxation. Boasting a dramatic custom wood-plank herringbone ceiling, it also features a tiered marble-surrounded linear ventless gas fireplace and is conveniently equipped with an oversized Sony flat-screen TV complete with a sound bar and Sonos surround sound system speakers. Custom wall coverings black out the room for perfect movie-watching. 

But that’s not all! Solid steel sliding doors open to a screened outdoor living space creating indoor-outdoor living that sets the tone for entertaining. Or meditating! And it’s accessible to the patio and pool.

The upstairs is equally impressive: The home has four spacious bedrooms in total, all of which are ensuite.

The knock-em-dead primary suite is luxurious with its 10-foot tray lighted ceiling, gorgeous custom blackout draperies, and motorized woven wood roman shades plus abundant closet space. The primary spa bath is an ocean of sparkling white quartz countertops and porcelain tile floors, an oversized double shower, a vessel soaking tub, and the most efficient custom cabinet solutions I have seen in the oversized closets.

Also upstairs, within close proximity, are the second, third, and fourth bedrooms, all ensuite with hardwood floors and abundant storage. 

The pool and spa, patio, and double-screened living areas crown the backyard and bring the entertaining experience full circle. Yes, we said “two screened porches,” one with a gas fireplace outfitted with fireballs, both with ceiling heaters, fans, and more Sonos. You will be cool on the hottest day in August, and toasty come the January freeze. Talk about comfortable outdoor living year-round!

Maybe Your Car Likes A/C?

Even your cars will be happy. The two-car detached garage has a standing-seam metal roof and steel-and-glass doors plus its own HVAC system and another flat-screen TV, perfect for the car enthusiast.

Location, sophistication, and attention to detail — fall in love.
