Custom Little Forest Hills home with outstanding ADU was designed with an emphasis on environmental sustainability, industrial aesthetics & natural light. Situated on a deep corner lot & hilltop crest, the landscape features drought-tolerant plants with seasonal colors, patios & keyhole raised planters. Completed in 2015, every effort was made to create a home with modern amenities while respecting the history of the neighborhood & its funky, iconoclastic design vibe. Within walking distance of White Rock Lake, yet tucked away in its own magical world, Casa San Tavaros, is a home with a point of view. With deep roof soffits, a rich, warm exterior of dark stained Cedar slats & extruded steel siding with a paint grip finish, the home is distinct. Much thought was exercised to create indoor-outdoor spaces that connect & provide a lot of visual depth. Indoors are tall ceilings for large art & clerestory windows bathe rooms with naturally changing light & shadows. On the 1st floor is the 2-story great room, an open kitchen & dining area. The kitchen has quartz counters, stainless appliances, lots of storage & an island with a dining bar. The primary suite is a private retreat on the 1st floor, separated from the main living areas. It has a walk-in closet, & a natural light-filled bath & dual vanity. On the 2nd floor are 2 bedrooms, a full bath & 2nd living area. A few feet from the home via a covered walkway is a light-filled air-conditioned garage. Beyond the garage is a carport, driveway, gate & 5 rain harvesting barrels. Power lines are buried, & the backyard is fenced. The ADU is accessed from inside the garage. This tree house like apartment features a living-sleeping area, kitchen, full bath & balcony. Landscaping was designed by the home’s owner who operates an award-winning East Dallas design-build company. The home was featured on the White Rock East Garden Tour. Note- The square footage of 3435 is composed of 2814 sq ft in the main home & 621 sq ft in the ADU.
