Beloved custom-built family home ready for its next wonderful chapter!
Our jewel: In 1999, my husband and I found the most perfect wooded acreage lot with more trees than we could count in the heart of Hillcrest Estates, a hidden controlled-access neighborhood in North Dallas.
We fell in love with the Live Oaks, particularly the huge, winding branch hero of the front yard. As one child was entering high school, the other college, we moved into a home we designed with the capable guidance of the late Don Caperton. We wanted a warm, loving home, a haven to entertain family and friends, host benefits, relax and work in. Working from home, I created an efficient home office zone connected to my closet (the primary has dual accessibility), adjacent to the library/study. We built a FEMA-approved safe room tornado shelter, tucked hidden closets into every space — check out the genius hidden closet in the formal dining room IF you can find it — and a lockable chilled wine closet off the pantry and behind the bar.
Outside, we created a wholesome environment for teenagers and friends with a cozy gathering porch, heated pool and spa, grassy fields for soccer or baseball games, and exterior entrance pool bath. My husband always loved the outdoor showers of his childhood in Maine, so we created one where kids could go from pool to shower to jammies.
Time marched on and soon our children had families of their own. As our dogs took the role of "children" in our lives, we created a turfed side yard and exterior dog wash adjacent to the large laundry room and pool bath. They truly enjoy full gallop romps in the huge back yard.
What is this home’s greatest asset? Environment. The prime location & perfect rectangular lot loaded with Live Oak, Pecan, Red Oak, Pin Oak, Dogwood, Crape Myrtles, Holly Hedges, Rose of Sharon, Magnolia, Hydrangea, Gardenias, Weeping Willow, Ficus and fruit trees in a highly-sought neighborhood where a run around the circle is exactly one mile, a mile and a half if you meander to Wander Lane. We are one-third of a mile from the Northaven Trail.
While the location is pure gold, 11407 West Ricks Circle is the epitome of space efficiency. Come make it your own!
The home is pristine, meticulously maintained by a compulsive physician owner, with updates to improve a classical floorpan and clean-lined original design.
$4,499,000. Love and good vibrations included.
