Modern at White Rock Lake
There are two dominant real estate trends in Dallas right now. One is the increasing desire of buyers for modern and contemporary homes. The other is the escalating interest by buyers to be in Lakewood and close to White Rock Lake. This increased interest in modern homes in Dallas spans all generations. Young buyers have grown up on modern and older buyers are ditching their Tudors for the sleeker lines, windows and sunlight of a modern home.
Value of Modern Home is in Site, Location, and Design
This modern home is on Tokalon Drive one of the prettiest streets in Lakewood. The site emphasizes the modernity of the home, with its walls of horizontal windows, a second floor master bedroom and balcony, and a third floor roof terrace all of which look out to several acres of the White Rock Lake Park meadow, White Rock Lake, a forest and in the distance the Dallas Audubon bird counting sanctuary.
