The Style in This Lake Highlands Listing Is Through the Roof — Literally

After covering thousands of homes, highlighting countless features, and celebrating an array of styles, one thing is clear: ceilings are often overlooked.

We’re always dazzled by original hardwoods and admire artistic moldings. However, how often do we look up and appreciate the upper echelon of the home? More importantly, how often do we have the opportunity to?

I made it my mission to find the coolest ceiling in the city and discovered a true winner in Lake Highlands. This four-bedroom, three-bathroom, 3,630-square-foot home is fabulous from the floor up. But the roof is really where it’s at.

Built in 1977, this classic Lake Highlands home sports a timeless exterior. With a white brick façade, tiered masonry planters, and a wraparound driveway, it screams chic before you even step inside.

However, once you open the door, your eyes will immediately ascend to the massive recessed skylight in the living room. Complemented with dynamic lines, crisp finishes, and blankets of natural light, the interior architecture is some of the best we’ve seen.

The layout itself is incredibly accessible, featuring arched passageways and extended partitions. The main living room adjoins the kitchen’s accommodating island and is anchored around a sophisticated hearth. Therefore, it’s the ultimate entertainer’s domain, elevated by the eye-catching ceiling.

The kitchen serves as a chef’s paradise. With custom cabinetry, expanses of counter space, and a quaint breakfast nook, it sets the stage for incredible culinary experiences. The ceilings take a hard slant here, giving this area energy and individuality.

Then, the spacious primary suite extends under its vaulted ceilings for a palatial feel. The room is also incredibly accommodating, allowing residents to arrange it any way they desire.

One of the highlights of this home has to be the en-suite bathroom. Like the rest of the home, this retreat is defined by style. Dual vanities, a statement soaking tub, and a grotto shower complete the full spa package. Then, another recessed skylight takes this escape to the next level.

In all, this home features an abundance of space, making it accommodating enough for families of all sizes. From the secondary sitting room to the wet bar, it offers everything under the sun. No, really… There’s another incredible skylight there.

Of course, the ceiling on luxury doesn’t stop there. The backyard is a low-maintenance resort escape. Complete with a sparkling swimming pool and plenty of paved deck space, this Lake Highlands oasis is sure to be your summer headquarters. In this part of the house, the sky is the limit.
