Modern Architectural Home Near White Rock Lake – Fully Renovated | 5 Bed | 4.2 Bath | 4,506 sq. ft. Striking contemporary residence in Old Lake Highlands is just blocks from White Rock Lake and the highly desirable Hexter Elementary School.
This home is a fully renovated 5-bedroom, 4 full and 2 half bath home offers 4,506 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with exceptional natural light, soaring ceilings, and refined modern finishes throughout. It features three expansive living areas with dramatic ceiling heights ranging from 9’–10’ on the first floor to 10’–14’ on the second, creating an open and airy architectural feel. Floor-to-ceiling windows and oversized glass doors provide seamless indoor-outdoor connectivity and abundant natural light.
Outdoor living and entertaining options include two large second floor balconies - one in front, and a back balcony that frames views of downtown Dallas just beyond White Rock Lake. The back balcony also provides sun and rain protection for the 600 sq. ft. patio below, accessible through the sliding glass doors in the kitchen, side garage door, and from the back yard. A large U-shaped front porch surrounds the stone paved courtyard entry right off the circular drive. Have morning coffee or just chill out on the cozy wooden deck, accessible through the French Doors in the Primary Bedroom Suite. The semi-flat TPO roofing could potential serve as a rooftop deck that offers the stunning view of the Downtown Dallas / White Rock Lake sunset shown in the image gallery.
The primary suite feels like a private retreat - spacious sleeping / lounging in the bedroom; lighted, floating double vanity with lighted, defogging mirrored cabinets; jetted / lighted soaking bathtub; a large frameless glass pane separates the double showers from the rest of the primary bathroom and private toilet closet; and the oversized walk-in primary closet is designed with generous space, large casement windows, and wide variety of built-in drawers, shelves, hanger rods, shoe cubbies, and a 6 feet long cushioned bench.
The soaring stairwell room is flooded with natural light from the four double casement windows on the first floor, and the three clerestory windows above, leaving enough space at the bottom landing for a simple home office, children's study carrels, or perhaps a lounge. Upstairs bedrooms are well-sized with outstanding bathrooms. The largest of the upstairs bedrooms rivals the first floor primary suite, and could be used as an "in-law" suite. In addition to the direct French Door access to the front walk-out balcony, it has more than sufficient space for seating and a King bed, large en suite bath, including a floating vanity with lighted, defogging, mirrored cabinet, linen closet, and built-out walk-in closet. The large family room at the top of the floating staircase serves as a buffer between the largest upstairs bedroom on the "South end", and the other three second floor bedrooms at the opposite end of the home. The largest of the three "North end" bedrooms has a nice sized en suite bath and built-out walk-in closet, while the two remaining bedrooms have ample closets and a shared bath.
The kitchen is designed for both function and style, featuring granite countertops, custom cabinetry, designer tile backsplash, and new smart stainless steel appliances. A pass-through counter with breakfast nook opens into the dining and main living areas, ideal for entertaining. A double-swing custom glass door connects the kitchen and walk-in pantry / laundry with generous cabinets, granite counters, sink, and space for an additional refrigerator or freezer.
Energy-efficient Pella and Andersen windows and doors enhance comfort, performance, beauty, and durability of the home. Interior finishes include solid red oak hardwood flooring throughout, custom tile in wet areas, and modern floating vanities in all full and half baths. Exterior features blend modern and traditional elements, including brick masonry, architectural metal panels, slate accents, Brazilian Teak wood soffits. A custom mono-stringer "floating staircase" with solid red oak butcher block treads connects the upper and lower levels, highlighted by the same elegant black stainless posts, wire railings, and handrails that encircle the mezzanine and outdoor balconies.
Features worth mentioning, that may not be readily apparent, include: Oversized 2-car alley-entry garage; Circular front drive for added parking and curb appeal; Dedicated laundry / pantry space; Nite-lite options on all the 96 can lights throughout the home; Lighted floating vanities with motion detectors that illuminate the pedestal lights on motion; All mirrored bathroom cabinets are lighted and have defogging switches; Most of the larger windows are casement windows that "crank" open outwards and have insect screens on the inside.
In many ways, this home is better than new - one owner for the past 25 years. During this period, all repairs, additions, and remodels, including the most recent complete renovation that began in 2024, were scrupulously designed and supervised by the current owner. This is a great opportunity to own a true custom home in this prime, still undervalued, neighborhood.
