Tucked away on a serene, tree-canopied street, this attractive hill country residence in Forest Hills offers a rare blend of tranquility, charm, and modern convenience—just steps from White Rock Lake, the Dallas Arboretum, and the vibrant heart of Downtown Dallas. Bordering a lush greenbelt and creek, this home is on one of the coveted streets in big Forest Hills. The inviting front porch, framed by multiple French doors, is perfect for morning coffee or star-studded evenings unwinding in the Texas breeze. Step inside to discover an open, light-filled layout featuring four spacious bedrooms, three and a half elegantly updated baths, a dedicated study with built ins and a fireplace, and a second floor flex space. The primary suite and a fourth bedroom are thoughtfully positioned on the main level, while two additional bedrooms and the flex space await upstairs—ideal for family living or visiting guests. The home was recently updated, including the kitchen with granite counters and gas range. The home’s flow encourages both lively entertaining and quiet retreat. Outdoors, the large private backyard and saltwater pool create a peaceful oasis. Lots of room to expand if you choose, with an addition, or build a casita on this almost half acre lot. The home features a two-car attached garage with additional room for a golf cart or workshop area. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. Don’t miss the chance to experience one of the most charming homes in Forest Hills, enveloped by nature but just minutes away from urban amenities.
