Property Description
Set on approximately half an acre along quiet Highland Road, 1538 Highland offers a rare chance to own significant land in one of East Dallas's most desirable neighborhoods. Whether renovated to showcase its original character or replaced with a custom architectural residence, the property offers exceptional possibilities.
The 2,651-square-foot home features soaring vaulted ceilings, parquet floors, window shutters and abundant built-ins. A spacious game room and vaulted sunroom with tile flooring add distinctive character and flexible living space. Outdoors, mature privacy trees, landscaped grounds, a covered patio, circular drive, additional parking and carport create a private and welcoming setting.
