8538 San Pedro Parkway

This contemporary farmhouse design nestled on a quiet street and large shaded lot in Forest Hills, only a short stroll from the Arboretum and White Rock Lake, offers both refined family living and entertainment in a bucolic setting.
Once inside you'll find soaring ceilings and a lovely office with built-ins just off the elegant entry. An open floor plan in the heart of the home - a gracious den-kitchen-dining area overlooking the backyard, pool-spa and wrap-around patio with built-in gas grill and gas firepit - practically glows in natural light. The kitchen's custom cabinetry is complemented by Thermador appliances: a six-burner range and griddle; double-ovens; microwave; and built-in refrigerator. A fabulous marble island, large enough to seat six, provides a conversation point in an area warmed by a gas fireplace and enlightened by a wet bar-wine chiller in a delightful corner niche.
The jewel of a plan that fuses function with beauty is the first-floor primary suite: vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace, built-ins, views of the backyard and a spa-inspired bath boasting dual vanities, freestanding tub and frameless glass shower.
Three additional bedrooms - one more downstairs, two up - as well as another room that could be utilized as a nursery, workout room or office accommodate families of any size. A large entertainment area anchors the second floor, which also offers a bonus: a 25 X 22 unfinished room plumbed and ready to be transformed into a media room, workout center or deluxe suite.
The entertainment possibilities are endless out back, where you can take a cool dip, rinse off in the outdoor shower and warm yourself around the gas firepit while the steaks sizzle and you're streaming your favorite show. Or a brisk walk or short drive can take you to the lake and some of East Dallas' favorite haunts. The choice is yours.
