Set on nearly half an acre of prime property in Dallas’ coveted Forest Hills neighborhood, this stunning home was extensively renovated and reimagined by the current owner in 2020-21. The thoughtful layout offers four bedrooms including a downstairs guest suite, powder and four full bathrooms, three living areas, and exceptional flow for both everyday living and entertaining. Walls of glass fill the main living areas with natural light and overlook the landscaped, park-like backyard. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with a spectacular La Cornue gas range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, stone countertops and island, pot filler, and an incredible pantry-scullery with a wine refrigerator and abundant storage. Other notable highlights downstairs include hardwood flooring, gas fireplace, built-in sound speaker system, bar area with custom metal cabinetry, recessed LED lighting, updated dual-pane windows, double staircases, mud room, second full utility room, and a charming den with custom built-ins and a vaulted ceiling. Upstairs you’ll find hardwood flooring throughout, an additional living area, two secondary bedrooms and full baths, and a utility room connecting to the primary closet. The primary suite features treehouse like views of the yard, a spacious walk-in closet, and a gorgeous spa-like bath with an oversized shower, soaking tub, dual vanities, and a Toto Neorest toilet. The amazing 100’x200’ lot offers large front and rear lawns, patio and porch areas, landscape lighting, and a stylish covered pergola extending the living space outdoors. The leafy, sought after Forest Hills neighborhood is adjacent to the best of East Dallas — the Arboretum, White Rock Lake sailing & trails, and shopping & dining in Lakewood Village and Casa Linda Plaza!
