Designed to blur the lines between indoor & outdoor living, this exceptional contemporary residence captures picturesque views of its resort-inspired backyard from nearly every room. Perfectly positioned on an oversized corner lot in the heart of Lake Highlands, it offers a rare combination of striking architecture and a backyard that's nearly impossible to find. Unlike many homes where the pool consumes the entire yard, this outdoor retreat features a saltwater pool with spa & waterfall, an expansive grassy lawn for pets & play, a covered patio, gazebo with TV hookup, and dedicated sunbathing area—creating an outdoor lifestyle that's as functional as it is beautiful. Inside, oak hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, where the dramatic living room showcases 12' ceilings, a gas log fireplace, and a dramatic wall of windows that frame picturesque views of the backyard oasis while filling the home with natural light. A conveniently located half bath with nearby backyard access is ideal for pool guests. The main-level primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with its own fireplace, spacious ensuite bath, and large walk-in closet. A dedicated home office comfortably accommodates dual workstations, while the well-appointed kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking double ovens, and a five-burner gas cooktop. Upstairs offers three bedrooms, a beautifully remodeled bath with dual vanities, a versatile landing niche perfect for homework or reading, and durable luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. Located in the heart of Lake Highlands within highly sought-after RISD's Merriman Park Elementary, this exceptional home also offers convenient access to the White Rock Lake trail system, parks, shopping, dining, and major commuter routes. Offering a seamless blend of contemporary architecture, exceptional outdoor living & an unbeatable Lake Highlands location, this is a rare opportunity to own one of the area's most distinctive homes!
