Completely reimagined in 2022, this Forest Hills retreat sits on a rare .4-acre lot just minutes from White Rock Lake and the Dallas Arboretum. With most living space, including the primary suite on the first floor, this beautifully remodeled home offers modern comfort, exceptional privacy, and a setting increasingly hard to find in East Dallas. The home features 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths with a floor plan that largely lives like a single story. The primary suite, guest suite, game room, and main living areas are all located on the first floor, creating comfortable everyday living. The renovation included new plumbing, electrical, roof, framing, flooring, appliances, and designer finishes throughout, delivering the feel of modern construction while maintaining the charm of Forest Hills. The open kitchen is designed for entertaining with a large marble island, commercial-grade range, Serena & Lily lighting, butler’s pantry, walk-in pantry, and spacious breakfast area that flows into the family room. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath plus a landing ideal for a study or homework space. Outside, the expansive backyard offers ample room for a future pool while maintaining generous green space. Covered front and rear porches overlook mature trees, creating a peaceful retreat tucked within the neighborhood. Surrounded by winding streets and towering trees, Forest Hills remains one of East Dallas’ most beloved communities, with convenient access to White Rock Lake, the Dallas Arboretum, Lakewood dining and shopping, and Downtown Dallas.
