Description
Storybook charm meets sophisticated design in this one-of-a-kind Little Forest Hills cottage, where warmth and character come together in a truly special setting. At a time when the neighborhood is evolving, this home offers a beautiful balance; honoring the charm, mature trees and creative spirit that have long made Little Forest Hills so beloved while providing elevated spaces designed for modern living. Inside, rich architectural details and custom touches create an inviting, collected feel. Vaulted ceilings and soaring windows fill the living room and kitchen with natural light, while expansive views of the gorgeous, peaceful backyard create a breathtaking backdrop. The primary suite is privately positioned on its own side of the home and features a fireplace and generous ensuite bath with an oversized dual shower and separate vanities, offering both shared and individual spaces. Two additional bedrooms are located on the opposite side of the home and share a Jack-and-Jill bath. Additional features include a Café double-drawer dishwasher, water filtration and integrated indoor-outdoor audio. A large, fully floored attic with a custom storage system provides exceptional functionality. Outdoors, the backyard is an enchanting private oasis beneath a canopy of trees. The expansive covered Trex deck, completed in 2024 at an investment of approximately $50,000, creates an idyllic setting for quiet mornings, intimate dinners and effortless entertaining. On the opposite side of the home, a screened porch off the secondary bedroom offers a separate, peaceful place to unwind. An additional dwelling with a full bath provides endless flexibility as a guest house, private office, fitness studio or creative retreat. Major improvements include a 2020 roof, main HVAC replaced in 2022 and a dedicated primary-suite HVAC replaced in 2026. Romantic, refined and unmistakably East Dallas, this is a rare opportunity to own a home that feels both timeless and entirely its own.
