5205 Royal Lane, Dallas, Texas

LOADING ..
Tucked off Royal Lane in a quiet cul-de-sac, this home sits on a rare one-acre, heavily treed lot in Russwood Acres. It does not face Royal, you feel that the moment you turn in, with the canopy from all the Live Oaks. This is a 1970s modern home that still honors the architect's original vision. Stone stack walls move from outside to inside. A 20-foot porte cochère sets the scale. Heroic Sunburst front doors greet you at the threshold. A full cosmetic and systems renovation in 2020 brought everything current without erasing the soul. The powder bath stays original, because that 70s vibe is the point. The unseen star is the glass. Windows of every size bring nature, the light, and the views of the pool in. The kitchen runs on Wolf and Miele, with custom cabinets built for the way you actually cook. Downstairs holds four dedicated bedrooms, including a primary that opens to the pool. Upstairs adds a second primary suite, a great room, a balcony over looking the pool, plus a loft that works as an 2nd office or gym. The current office overlooks the pool with a full en-suite bath, so it can flexes as another bedroom whenever you need it. For visiting parents, in-laws, or a college kid back for the summer, the second floor gives them their own world. The upstairs is already plumbed for a bar when it's time. This home was built to host. A graduation party that flows from kitchen to pool to lawn without anyone bumping elbows, or the best 300 person baby shower. The three-car garage fits a lift for a fourth if you want. Lutron Caseta runs the lights. A fire suppression system is present. The crawl space is encapsulated, lit, with a sump pump and dehumidifier. There are 5 HVAC units to ensure your comfort. You are central to everything Dallas. Love Field & DFW airports and downtown are short drives. One-acre, mature trees, private, this is rare ground.
