If You’re Looking to Live in Glen Lakes, This Is It (Literally)

The planned community of Glen Lakes, just north of NorthPark and east of Boedeker, is one of the best-kept secrets in all of Dallas, even after almost 50 years in existence. Since it was developed in the late 1970s on a golf course that used to span both sides of 75/Central (there was even a tunnel that went under the highway for golf carts, if you can believe), it has been synonymous with innovation, luxury, leisure and convenience. 

Now if you have been in on the secret for a while and fancied living in this 286-home gated community one day, here is your chance. Tucked into a cul-de-sac of sorts is 1 Queensview Court, the only home currently for sale in all of Glen Lakes!

The home is set on a corner, but it’s not oriented toward another home, rather on the diagonal toward the walking trail/greenbelt. This placement allows for one of its standout features: a 2-story, double-wide porte cochere, providing not only a grand entrance but also additional multiple car parking, which is a rarity in the Glen Lakes community. 

Though the homes are primarily zero-lot-line, trails, lakes and ponds, pools and tennis courts more than make up for the absence of yards, and gardens and courtyards abound for those who like to have an outlet for their green thumb. In case you’re not reading between the lines today, Glen Lakes is a great place to downsize or move for the lock-and-leave factor — there’s not a lot of turnover for a reason!

Says Megan Stern, the listing agent for this extensively renovated home, “This house is a crown jewel in all of Glen Lakes, and the first one built in the north side. Unlike the majority of traditionally styled homes here, the exterior gives a nod to Mid Century Modernism. The interior was impeccably renovated over the course of 14 months, and it now has a subtle but sophisticated and contemporary style coupled with thoughtful functionality.” 

As part of the renovation, ceilings were raised throughout the downstairs. Combined with large room sizes and skylights, this improvement has resulted in an enhanced sense of space. 

Another noteworthy upgrade is the kitchen. Calling it a chef’s dream is a serious understatement, given that the current owners made a really serious investment in it — to the point where it might now be one of the largest and most updated kitchens in the whole community, according to Stern.

By adding custom-designed Wood Mode cabinetry and a lineup of Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Asko appliances, along with a walk-in pantry with floor-to-ceiling shelving, it’s no longer just a kitchen — it’s the departure point for some wildly exciting culinary adventures. 

The rest of the home is all about indulgence, about treating yourself to the finer things in life, but without being over the top. Step into any of the recently redone beds and baths, and you’ll be transported to your own personal oasis where elegant fixtures and luxurious finishes pamper your senses. Details such as heated floors, incredible storage, jetted tubs, black out shades – they all support the impending daily self-care routine you’re going to want to activate. 

Before we wrap up … the patio, y’all! With Trex decking, Equinox motorized shades, a built-in grill, firebowl, pot irrigation system and mature, well-maintained landscaping, you do have a private, protected space to gather for cookouts and cool evenings if you’re not in the mood for the communal ones. 
We repeat: 1 Queensview Court at $2.5 million is the only active listing in Glen Lakes. Get in while the gettin’s good! Contact Megan at 214-912-0425 or [email protected].
