Welcome to your own private arboretum nestled in the heart of one of East Dallas’s most naturally beautiful enclaves. Located just minutes from White Rock Lake, this spacious custom one-story home sits on Lake Gardens Drive, a quiet street, embraced by mature trees and a forested canopy that gives the entire neighborhood a secluded, park-like atmosphere. Step inside through a charming leaded glass door into a bright, open foyer with views of the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Elegant custom ceilings, crown molding, plantation shutters, and rich hardwood floors set the tone throughout the home. Enjoy scenic views from nearly every room, with lush front and backyard landscaping offering privacy and serenity. The kitchen features glass folding doors, granite countertops, a pantry, water filter system, a recently upgraded Frigidaire dishwasher 2025 and Frigidaire refrigerator and freezer 2023. Extensive renovations completed in 2021 included fully reframing and expanding both the primary and secondary full bathrooms, featuring new vanities, toilets, tile, fixtures, plumbing, and lighting. The third full bathroom was completely renovated in April 2025. Throughout the home (excluding the kitchen), walls and ceilings were refinished in a sleek museum-quality finish, and the original hardwood floors were beautifully restored and sealed. Outdoor living shines here with a custom multi-level deck, perfect for entertaining, featuring an upper level that was refinished, painted, and sealed in 2024, and a newly rebuilt lower deck. A new 8’ privacy fence was added on the east side of the property in 2024. An attached garage, additional off-street parking, and a circular driveway provide ample space for guests. With thoughtful updates, timeless design, and a rare forest-like setting just a stone’s throw from the lake, this home offers the best of peaceful retreat and city convenience.
