Property Description
Tucked away on coveted Emerald Isle, a hidden enclave along White Rock Lake known for its mature trees and classic 1950s character, this beautifully expanded residence offers a rare blend of timeless charm and thoughtful modern living. Set on a landscaped .30-acre lot, the home provides a peaceful, private setting just a short walk from the lake at the end of the street. A recent addition has enhanced both space and functionality, now offering four bedrooms, three baths, a dedicated office and two light-filled living areas designed to connect seamlessly with the outdoors. A wall of windows frames views of the expansive backyard, bringing natural light and a sense of calm into the heart of the home. The design-forward eat-in kitchen features granite countertops, abundant white cabinetry and a built-in appliance garage for concealed microwave and pantry storage. A custom banquette beneath picture windows creates an inviting dining space, anchored by a distinctive custom light fixture that adds architectural interest. The private office is enclosed with glass doors and overlooks the backyard, creating an inspiring work-from-home environment. The newly added primary suite offers a refined retreat with dual vanities, an oversized glass-enclosed shower and a generous walk-in closet. The utility room is thoughtfully designed with extensive storage, a sink and convenient access to a fenced dog run through a dedicated doggie door. Additional features include a Generac generator for peace of mind during Texas storms and mature landscaping that enhances privacy and curb appeal. Quiet, established and moments from White Rock Lake, Emerald Isle offers a truly special lifestyle - and this home delivers it with style, space and intention.
