If you know the Peninsula neighborhood, you know how special it is. Winding streets, beautiful homes, mature trees, and White Rock Lake just a short distance away give this pocket of East Dallas a character all its own. And if you have ever looked for a place to build here, you also know how rarely an opportunity like this comes along. 9345 East Lake Highlands Drive offers an oversized .31-acre building site, larger than many lots in the neighborhood, with beautiful mature trees and gently sloping topography that opens up interesting possibilities for custom architecture. With approximately 65 feet of frontage and an irregular shape extending as deep as 233 feet, there is room to think creatively about what could be built here. But what makes this property even more unusual is what is across the street: a park. Instead of looking directly into another row of homes, the property enjoys views of green space, creating an open, natural feeling that is increasingly difficult to find in the middle of a major city. Trees, park views, winding streets, and the lake nearby make the setting feel surprisingly removed from the density of metropolitan Dallas. And then there is White Rock Lake. From the property, it is just a short distance to the lake and its extensive trail system, putting walking, running, biking, and some of Dallas’s best outdoor recreation practically outside your door. Located in Dallas ISD and feeding to Hexter Elementary, this is a rare opportunity to build a dream home in the Peninsula on an oversized lot near White Rock Lake. Building sites here are difficult to find. One with this much land, mature trees, interesting topography, park views, and such easy access to the lake is something truly special.

In the Peninsula neighborhood near White Rock Lake, a flagstone walk leads past mature shade trees to a pergola swing and a front door of wrought iron and glass. Inside, dark-stained timber beams run the length of the main living spaces above hardwood floors, and a fresh coat of white throughout lets them do the talking. The owners renovated with a designer's eye, and the kitchen shows it first. Cabinetry was reinvigorated to a soft gray-white, a new backsplash brightens the walls, and added lighting above the cabinets lifts the room after sunset. An oversized granite island holds the center, with a gas cooktop, double wall ovens, and glass pendants, built as much for a slow Sunday breakfast as for a full table. Every chandelier and fixture was replaced to speak to the next, from the brass piece over the dining table to new art lighting in the living room, where a stacked stone fireplace sits beside French doors to the courtyard. The primary bedroom carries the beams through, with lit built-in shelving, a new ceiling fan, and its large picture windows to the yard. In the bath, a solid shower wall was cut down to open the room while keeping privacy, a glass-free choice that lets the skylit soaking tub breathe. The secondary bath refreshed with large vanity and new countertops. Nearby, a home office with a built-in desk and floating shelves looks out onto the garden. Behind a black horizontal-slat fence, the deck becomes an outdoor room, with a gas fire pit, a working grill connection, and landscape lighting after dark. The work that never photographs got the same care: a new impact-resistant roof, two new inverter AC systems with an ERV and HEPA filtration, professional crawl space renovation, a transferable foundation warranty, and new screens on every window. White Rock Lake and its trail are minutes away, Lakewood a short drive. Evenings here end under the trees, the fire still going.
