With towering trees and storybook drive-up appeal, this inviting Casa Linda Estates home has an abundance of character and a picturesque setting. Just a few minutes from the shores of White Rock Lake, the house sits on more than a third of an acre. Expanded and fully renovated in the mid-2000's to include a den/family room, new attached garage, mud room and a full second level, the interiors feature both vintage appeal and modern-day finishes. Expansive windows bring natural light into the formal living area, which overlooks an elegant dining room. Built in bookcases frame the wide doorway from living to dining room, adding visual interest and definition of space. To the right of the front door, French doors open to a sitting room that is both enchanting and refined, with soft colors and sunlight; perfectly suited for use as an office. Open to the kitchen at the back of the house, the breakfast area offers outdoor views through the bay window to a flagstone patio and backyard foliage beyond. The modern, on-trend kitchen, finished in shades of grey and white, was completely renovated in 2014. A glass backsplash in a quatrefoil pattern adorns the walls, and is complemented by white shaker cabinets, sophisticated gold-toned pulls and white marble countertops with subtle grey veining. A stainless-steel GE Monogram six-burner cooktop, Jenn-Air double ovens, Kitchen-Aid dishwasher and paneled front refrigerator complete the appliance suite. The kitchen opens to a spacious, yet intimate family room. Timber beams enhance the lines of the vaulted ceiling, and a wood-burning fireplace with a stone facade serves as a focal point on the far wall. Windows and French doors on three of the four walls provide sight lines across a front yard that is deep and lush, and to a side yard behind the family room. A hallway connects the house to the garage and serves as a mudroom, with built-in cabinetry and hanging areas for backpacks and jackets, just inside the garage door. Upstairs, a game room of substantial proportions offers room for a ping-pong or pool table, media seating and a desk area. Two large closets provide great storage space. A cathedral ceiling with a striking architectural window at the peak lend drama and volume to the master suite. Opposite the bed, a recessed nook with TV connections will allow for a dresser or media console. A closet on the same wall supplements a large walk-in, accessible through the master bathroom. The master bath is thoughtfully designed, offering plenty of storage and space for two. The vanities are separated, occupying two different walls. Travertine floors and vanity tops create a neutral palette. With an oversize garden tub and generous shower, the bathroom is large enough to hold an armoire or chest of drawers. The first of four total bedrooms occupies a downstairs corner of the house with windows on three sides, and is served by a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo, and doubles as a guest bath. Two additional bedrooms upstairs are connected by a shared bath. One of them features vaulted ceilings and a loft with a built-in ladder. The fourth bedroom is currently used as an office. A full-sized laundry room and a large storage closet are located between the master and the 3 rd bedroom. The backyard, with a shady covered patio will accommodate both a seating area and a dining table. The backyard includes sizeable green space and robust landscaping with the added-bonus of a sport court (2014), including a state of the art hoop, at the back of the lot. The court also allows for attachment of a volleyball net. Enclosed in a wood/wrought iron fence, the yard and court provide a place to play basketball and a secure environment for younger kids to ride bikes, skate or play.
