Now, more than ever, families realize the joy of being in a small quiet neighborhood where children can ride their bikes through the curving streets or go through the gated fence to White Rock Lake Park and on to the lake.
White Rock Lake Home Has Open Floor Plan

An Open Floor Plan with Well-Defined Rooms

A formal dining room, a formal living room, and a well-defined kitchen give definition to a home that is visually open. Refinished hardwood floors throughout the house add additional continuity and connectivity to the rooms.
Floating Fireplace Wall with Open Fireplace
![Fireplace open to dining room and living room in Emerald Isle home.](https://architecturallysignificant.dougnewby.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/IMG_9016-scaled.jpg)
The stone fireplace continues the look of the stone exterior of the home. Since the fireplace opens to both the living room and dining room, you will be able to enjoy a romantic dinner and then retreat to a large living room.

You will enjoy the large master bedroom, large master closet, and elegant bathroom on the first floor. The rest of your family or guests will love the views of the lake and neighborhood from the upstairs bedrooms.

Home Office/Study
![Home Office in White Rock Lake home.](https://architecturallysignificant.dougnewby.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/IMG_9064-scaled.jpg)
On the second floor is a perfect home office or delightful study hall for children. Even from this room with sliding double glass pocket doors, there are expansive views of the park and White Rock Lake.

Backyard of Emerald Isle Home—View of Lake In Distance
![View of White Rock Lake from Emerald Isle Home](https://architecturallysignificant.dougnewby.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/IMG_9019-scaled.jpg)
This 3,900 square foot four-bedroom home is on .5 acres and looks over 100s of additional acres of park land and White Rock Lake. You will enjoy views of the lake from the living room and bedroom windows or the outdoor backyard pavilion with a kitchen and from the swimming pool. Immersed in nature and yet it is only 12 minutes from downtown and only 15-20 minutes to the preparatory schools of the Preston Hollow private school corridor.
White Rock Lake and the Dallas Arboretum are the epicenter of Dallas nature—flowers, birds, trails, boating, wildlife, forests—and yet they are quickly accessible to the most vibrant city cultural attractions of Dallas.
Dallas Is an All-American City and Emerald Isle Is an All-American Neighborhood
Rather than hearing the noise of traffic as you would in most city neighborhoods, here in this Emerald Isle White Rock Lake neighborhood you will enjoy the sweet sounds of songbirds or children playing baseball in the diamond at the bottom of the hill next to White Rock Lake.
White Rock Lake Home Also Opens to a Beautiful Neighborhood
![Interior front door of White Rock Lake home.](https://architecturallysignificant.dougnewby.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/IMG_9034-scaled.jpg)
While many would consider the main attraction of living in this Emerald Isle neighborhood in a home looking over White Rock Lake, I consider the beautiful Emerald Isle neighborhood an equal attraction. Entering the home, you are excited by the views of nature. Exiting the home, you continue to enjoy the warmth of nature.

Front Porch Frames Emerald Isle Neighborhood

From the front porch of this White Rock Lake home, it is so nice to be reminded that patriotism starts with a family, extends to your neighbors, your city and your country. Emerald Isle reminds us of a simpler, more enjoyable time.
