Set well back from the road, the single-story brick custom home, built in 2000, provides over 4,100 square feet of interior living space. The main living area shares an open layout and 14-foot vaulted ceiling with the kitchen and dining area. It includes a brick, woodburning fireplace and 28-feet of windows overlooking the wooded backyard. The 2nd living area is more of a flex room, having been used for home-schooling with a large built-in bookcase and three computer desks, it would also be a great game-room or a private living area for the adjoining 5th bedroom and bath, which has its own outside access. The kitchen, with granite counters, includes a breakfast bar, island and two walk-in pantries. There are 5 bedrooms and 5 full baths. The master bedroom includes a large walk-in closet that is a storm/safe room with an additional underground shelter. The master bath has a Jacuzzi brand tub, a generously sized shower and two separate vanities. All the secondary bedrooms have walk-in closets and 3 of the 4 have private full baths. Near the kitchen and utility room is a large mud-room with ample space for an in-home freezer. The adjoining side entry oversized 3-car garage is deep enough to accommodate a crew-cab pickup. Accessible from the living areas and master bedroom is a 10x64 covered back patio.
The insulated and heated workshop on slab is 50x75, has a full bath and a 1,000 square foot, heated & air-conditioned office/workroom that could certainly be converted into living quarters for guests or ranch manager. With a 13 high overhead door and 50-amp electric connection, it is also set up for boat and RV storage. On the north side is a 12x50 covered overhand for additional storage.
The land has lots of character and is bordered at the very back by Wolf Creek bringing a variety of wildlife to the area. The front of the property is more open with pasture and scattered trees, and as you go past the house, it becomes more heavily wooded. There are 2 ponds and the Wolf Creek area is a beautiful area to hike with some incredible pecan trees. The soil is a good sandy loam, making it great for horses and there is a current ag exemption in place.
Located within an hour of North Dallas and the surrounding cities, the communities around this property still offer that small town feel with a variety of dining, shopping and recreational options.
