Relax in the wonderful backyard of this North Dallas home.

This week, we will be looking for a charming and updated farmhouse in North Dallas. It is a perfect combination of old and new.

The North Dallas house was built in 1963, "a bit like a modernized Beaver Cleaver house," said listing agent Brian Davis. Although the white picket fence is not visible, the comfortable porch, large and attractive trees and skylights give the house a classic curb charm, while the interior provides all the luxury of a modern home.

The spacious kitchen is less than 156 square feet and includes plenty of storage space, natural stone countertops, stainless steel gas appliances, wine and coffee bar, with a separate wine cabinet and wine storage room.

From the central island, you can see almost every room downstairs. "If you are cooking," Davis said, "you can watch TV on the island, look at the fireplace, look at the solarium, and look at the backyard."

Although the layout downstairs is partially open, you can still find your own private moments in one of the four bedrooms in your home. There are two separate bedrooms with a shared full bathroom downstairs, while the guest room and the owner are upstairs.

"It's very unusual because if you have children, it can separate you from your children very well," Davis said.

The master bedroom suite includes a walk-in closet, a luxurious free-standing bathtub, a walk-in shower and a double wash basin with natural stone countertops.

However, the real highlight of the home is the outdoor space. The house occupies a little more than a quarter of an acre. The backyard includes a terrace space ideal for entertaining; a calm and picturesque koi pond; and walk-in chicken coops and chicken coops, perfect for those who wish to join the continuous development Anyone in the Texas chicken community.

There are a lot of trees and a large piece of grass in the yard to run around. "It feels like there is no other house above you," Davis said.

In addition, there is an independent climate control shed that can be used for home offices, gyms, or even just storage rooms. Davis said this is "a good place to escape everything that happened inside the house."

The residence is located at Richardson ISD, within walking distance of Spring Valley Elementary School. Access to the toll road, Central Expressway, and LBJ Expressway are all easy, but Davis said Rolling Hills Lane is quiet and private.

"It gives you a rare feeling of being in the country," he said, "even though you are in the middle of a city."
