Make Yourself at Home in This Turnkey Classic Minutes from White Rock Lake

Set amongst mature tree-lined avenues and majestic natural amenities, Lake Highlands is a lifestyle mecca. Whether you’re an outdoors enthusiast or you enjoy the quaint cache of local restaurants, this Dallas district delivers it all. Around here, White Rock Lake, Flag Pole Hill, and the Arboretum converge to create the perfect organic complements to exciting city life. Homes here reflect a diverse community developed over decades.

For this week’s Inwood Home of the Week sponsored by Inwood National Bank, we’re excited to show a turnkey opportunity mere steps from the main attractions.

Built in 1950, this updated three-bedroom, three-bathroom, 2,388-square-foot home combines quality craftsmanship, classic character, and contemporary touches.

From the exterior, the bay windows and solid brick façade indicate its timeless appeal. The sizable front yard hosts multiple mature trees, framing it in an idyllic suburban setting.

Inside, an open floor plan creates a seamless flow between the spacious living and dining areas, ideal for gatherings both large and small. Of course, those bay windows bring in a ton of light to capture the comfort and warmth inherent to this home. Updated fixtures, antique molding, and fresh finishes complement the layout.

Then, the updated kitchen features ample cabinetry, generous counter space, and modern finishes, making it perfect for any culinary undertaking. Set adjacent to the living room with a connected formal dining, its placement makes entertaining incredibly intuitive.

The large primary suite also benefits from a big bay window and a scenic neighborhood view. The ensuite bath is thoughtfully updated with multiple amenities, including dual vanities, a dual-headed shower, and a well-organized walk-in closet. The crisp cabinetry and sleek tiles add those essential updated elements.

Then, the other two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, and both offer private access to the enclosed sunroom.

In an area as beautiful as Lake Highlands, sunrooms make for incredible extras. This home features a massive, light-filled sun porch with beautiful wall-to-wall red brick. Residents can enjoy the ambiance of the outdoors, whether it’s the dead of winter or 100 degrees outside.

And when the weather is perfect, there’s no better way to enjoy it than with a beautifully imagined backyard. Here, an elevated deck extends from the home to provide the perfect setting for outdoor relaxation or alfresco dining. Two large trees drape this retreat in shade, creating a picturesque slice of privacy and paradise.

With its inviting layout, character-filled touches, and unbeatable location, this White Rock Lake gem is move-in ready and waiting to welcome you.
