3412 Beverly Drive, 3414 Beverly Drive, family compounds, Highland Park, modern traditional, Robert Elliott, Rogers Healy

Imagine living on Dallas’ most desirable street, owning not one but two amazing properties on Beverly Drive. This is pretty amazing stuff coming to us from Rogers Healy, who has listed 3414 and 3412 Beverly Drive on the market for $12 million.

CandysDirt.com Approved Builder Robert Elliott built this luxury estate that our own Karen Eubank dubs modern traditional when she wrote about 3414 Beverly Drive’s completion in 2017. Now a year and a half later, this home has the rare opportunity to become a family compound in Highland Park.

The family purchased this home to live in, bought the house next door, tore it down and began building entertaining quarters to create a luxury family compound. But as they say, other adventures came calling. And so we present to you, your future Park Cities compound.

The sprawling estate at 3414 Beverly Drive is 10,282 square feet with six bedrooms, six baths, and two powder baths. It’s situated on 0.29 acres, combined with next door’s 0.31 acres, you’re looking at over half an acre on prime land. (more…)

Here’s a Mid-Century Gem in the Shadow of White Rock Lake

Those windows. Those beautiful, enormous windows that give you a glimpse inside this mid-century gem and look out to this beautiful Old Lake Highlands neighborhood of 50s- and 60s-built homes.

Here’s an Outer Lake Highlands Beauty With a Blue Door to Love

5 Comments

This is the part of Lake Highlands that people forget about. It’s my part of Lake Highlands located outside 635 that’s so close to Richardson, these Dallas residents go to RISD schools like I did. So naturally I’m partial to this four-bedroom, three-bath at 9722 Burleson Drive near Abrams Road and LBJ Freeway. It’s listed by Bruce Yamini of Northpoint Real Estate for $364,900. Actually it’s one of several beautifully-updated homes in this part of Lake Highlands near Chimney Hill. Now I’ve personally seen a couple of lime green doors around here, but this is the first teal blue door I’ve seen. It seems bold colors are back!

These Highland Village Homes Are the Lakefront Fort You Always Wanted

Highland Village is a beautiful suburb lining the southwest shores of Lake Lewisville, full of beautiful homes ranging from $300,000 to $1 million, but today’s selections for Suburb Sunday have a common theme: The lakefront fort you always wanted. These three unique homes embrace lake living with rich woods, stunning views of the water, and architecture that’s one with nature.

A Backyard You Wouldn’t Believe

Address: 426 Remington Drive, Highland Village

4 bedrooms, 4 baths
3,322 square feet
$520,000

We’ll start with the best part of this home, the backyard oasis. Walk out onto the multi-level backyard and descend down the stairs to find a beautifully shaded wood deck, pool, and spa (with new equipment in 2017). A corner lattice-covered sitting area by the spa gives this backyard a retreat-like feel. Plus, there’s an enclosed air-conditioned cabana with cable and audio setup. All of this, plus a spacious four-bedroom with two living areas, a double-door office, wood-deck balcony, and large garage with shelving.
