6817 Blessing Drive, Dallas, Texas 75214
I got the chance to tour this property the other day, and I was truly blown away! The house is incredible from the moment you walk through the front door! This home was very thoughtfully designed, and includes designer finishes throughout. This home is located in the Hillside neighborhood of Lakewood in East Dallas, on an oversized creek lot with tons of "forest-like nature" and mature trees in the backyard. The outdoor/indoor living spaces are really well done, with the screened-in outdoor living area right off the living room. The spaces are divided by accordion sliding glass door, combining the indoor living spaces and the outdoor dining table, grill and outdoor kitchen. The flow is seamless, as you walk from the entryway to the kitchen and dining areas and then outside. The kitchen is equipped with statement stone surfaces, top-of-the-line appliances and a large butler's pantry. Custom curated finishes throughout the house include salvaged tiles from a 19th century farmhouses and chateaus in the south of France. The kitchen and butler's pantry include Arabescato Marble and black mist honed countertops. All of the bedrooms are upstairs, with the exception of the primary suite, which is right off of the kitchen through a small hallway by the stairs. There is also a dedicated office downstairs, with built-ins and a large arched window overlooking the front courtyard. Upstairs, there is a large game room or secondary living/flex space. In addition, there is a space that could act as a kid's work room, a second office or a small home gym. There are also laundry hook-ups and units both upstairs and downstairs!
Upgrades and features include: New electrical service to 200 AMPS, 2 new air conditioning units (one for downstairs and one for upstairs), new gas service to the house and all new gas lines to the appliances, a new tankless water heater, all new gutters around the entire home, new drainage system to flow water away from the property, 2-car front entry garage and additional storage closet in the garage, new spray foam insulation and a post-tension slab foundation!
My favorite part of the home was the screened-in back porch and outdoor living/dining space. I LOVE a good screened-in outdoor area, and this one is great! I love the combination of the exposed brick, stone flooring, wood- paneled ceiling and the black accordion doors. It's a great mixture of traditional styles with modern accents. I could see myself watching football out there, relaxing after a long day of work or even gathering with the kids and family to eat dinner (when it's a bit cooler of course)!
