House-hunting season is officially ramping up. With school winding down and summer on the horizon, homebuyers are already putting feelers out for their future homes. For many, this means sitting down and selecting the features, amenities, and requisites for purchasing a new pad. Of course, location, square footage, and style often come into play. However, if you’re looking for all of the above plus incredible curb appeal and a rare elevated ambiance, we found that perfect “house on the hill” in the Casa Linda Forest neighborhood.

This three-bedroom, two-bathroom, 2,162-square-foot home offers flexibility, space, and tons of entertaining potential. Oh, and it’s located in one of Dallas’ most scenic neighborhoods. Let’s have a look.

Built in 1959, this home presents with the clean lines and curb appeal of a midcentury bungalow. The low-pitched roof, large front porch, and white brick façade give it distinct character in this dynamic setting.

“This home sits on a beautiful elevated lot,” said listing agent Tessa Mosteller with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty. “I love this because it’s so rare in Dallas, as Texas is typically pretty flat. Also, it’s incredibly close to White Rock Lake and the Arboretum, so it offers some of the city’s top attractions just a stone’s throw away.”

Then, the interior is updated and elegant, benefiting from both a renovation and a refresh by its previous residents. Fresh finishes, clean hardwoods, and sleek fixtures give the home a modern feel.

“The home was very well cared for, and it shows throughout,” said Mosteller. “It features high-quality finishes, tons of natural light, and it’s great for entertaining. It just feels so inviting as soon as you step inside.”

The floor plan is open concept, allowing an intuitive flow from one area to the next. With multiple dining areas coalescing around the kitchen and hearth, this is an ideal home for hosting.

Of course, the main living room is spacious as well, providing a relaxing foundation for residents and guests.

This Casa Linda Forest Home offers it all.

“The huge living area is certainly a highlight of this home,” said Mosteller. “It’s a perfect space for gathering friends and family with plenty of room to spare.”

We often say the kitchen is the heart of the home. This one truly earns the adage, though. Featuring stainless-steel appliances and a center island, this space is the center point of the home. Therefore, all culinary experiences are convenient and communal.

Then, the primary suite is large, well-lit, and calming with cool grey finishes. Also, it has enough space to suit any bedroom arrangement.

The ensuite bathroom recently underwent a refresh as well. A sleek walk-in shower, dual vanities, and smart finish-outs make this space a thoroughly modern bathroom retreat.

Of course, the other bedrooms and bathrooms throughout this home feel cohesive and up-to-date as well. With two extra bedrooms, there is plenty of space to suit any lifestyle or resident type.

Finally, the backyard is a scenic escape. With a large wooden deck and a pergola, it’s a peaceful setting to host gatherings and get-togethers. It’s also a great place to simply enjoy the serenity of this classic neighborhood.
