Just like that, it’s time to break out the swimsuits, dust off the picnic baskets, and book your summer rentals. In Dallas neighborhoods such as Lakewood and Forest Hills, the summer stretch is defined by backyard barbeques, fireworks on the Fourth, and the perfect pool days. Of course, in a climate like ours, it pays to have your own personal oasis.
More and more, buyers are on the lookout for a place they can park it during those days when the thermometer rises through the roof. Of course, as the May market heats up, these homes will undoubtedly be harder to come by.
Thankfully, we know where you can get your hands on the perfect home. For this week’s Inwood Home of the Week sponsored by Inwood National Bank, we’re showing a listing that blends a picture-perfect outdoor oasis with exquisite interior design.
Nestled in the sought-after enclave of Forest Hills, this three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom, 2,235-square-foot beauty blends timeless charm with quality construction. Also, it was custom-crafted for its original owners and framed with solid 2-by-6 planks.
From the outside, this home is incredibly picturesque. Bay windows, an adobe brick façade, and a covered front porch give it that classic appeal. Also, the well-manicured front lawn complements the beauty of the surrounding neighborhood.
Upon stepping inside, one feels instantly at ease.
A warm, welcoming hearth, soft interior finishes, and tons of natural light greet you with comfort. This home offers ample gathering space with a family room, a front sitting room, and a formal dining area. It’s almost requisite that owners entertain, especially during the beautiful spring and summer months.
The kitchen is absolutely exquisite. With a breakfast bar and bay window that overlooks the incredible backyard oasis, this space serves as the heart of the home. Also, an abundance of counter space and a solid gas range make it as practical as it is appealing.
Of course, the primary suite blends refined design and a relaxing atmosphere. With plantation shutters and plenty of space to stretch out, this cozy corner of the world is yours to enjoy.
The ensuite bathroom offers all the amenities for an excellent start to each day. Here, dual vanities and a glass walk-in shower allow seamless and stress-free experience for any routine.
Each bedroom in this home offers an abundance of space and ample closets, allowing family and guests to feel perfectly at home.
Finally, the backyard oasis is big, beautiful, and breathtaking.
Even though this home is just a stone’s throw from White Rock Lake and a short eight-mile drive to downtown Dallas, there is no other place you will want to be. With a sparkling pool and elevated deck, entertaining takes on a whole new meaning here.
Seriously, those Texas summers will never be the same.
If you’re in the market for a perfect summertime pad, we’re kicking the season off with a true Forest Hills stunner.
