A modern farmhouse in Old Lake Highlands, walkable to White Rock Lake and zoned to acclaimed and just newly re-built Hexter Elementary. Built by EIB Custom Homes on a deep 130x60 treed lot with a solid cedar-post porch wrapping the front, fitting the neighborhood with classic styling. Three living areas give the house real flexibility — one for company, one for everyday, and a third that makes a great home office off of the master. White oak floors, 5 8 inch thick, run throughout. Custom 8 foot doors, level-4 smooth drywall, custom iron stair rails, and an Edison-bulb iron chandelier at the entry. Walls are expansive and finished clean to highlight your art collection. The kitchen runs on Jenn-Air: 48 inch built-in refrigerator, gas cooktop, double insulated convection wall ovens, hood with up lights, microwave, and a wine cooler. Custom cabinetry with soft-close throughout, an oversized island with storage on both sides, a farm sink, and a walk-in pantry that actually holds a week of groceries. The primary suite is behind its own custom door — quartz double vanity, Jacuzzi tub, Kohler fixtures, and a closet the size of a bedroom. Every bedroom has bath access. The fourth bedroom has a built-in Murphy bed, so between it and the third living area you have two real options for working from home — and the Murphy bed room still converts back to a guest room the week you need it. The construction is the part you don't see and will feel every month: pier and slab foundation engineered to a geotechnical report for this specific lot, 4x6 framing, Zip sheathing, five-eighths inch Advantech subfloor, open-web joists, 5.5 inch of spray foam against a 3.5 inch standard, Carrier 16 SEER HVAC, tankless water heater, LED throughout, and Milgard windows. Out back, a covered cedar-post patio and a yard under mature trees. The lake, the trail, and the Arboretum are minutes away, with Lakewood shopping and Casa Linda just as close.
