Property Description

RARE HALF-ACRE OPPORTUNITY IN FOREST HILLS

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 tall (10ft) and vaulted (12ft) ceilings, parquet floors, window shutters and abundant built-ins. A spacious game room and 12 foot vaulted sunroom with tile flooring add distinctive character and flexible living space. Outdoors, mature privacy trees, landscaped grounds, a front 23×5 covered porch and rear expansive 59×10 patio partially covered (18×10) with 12 foot vaulted ceiling, circular drive, additional parking and 20×12 carport within the envelope of the house (easily could become enclosed oversized 1 car garage) create a private and welcoming setting.

Forest Hills is known for its tree-lined streets, generous lots and proximity to White Rock Lake and the Dallas Arboretum. The neighborhood is experiencing significant renovation and new construction, making this an especially compelling setting for those seeking the scale and privacy of an established estate neighborhood.

Enjoy trails, lake activities, gardens, restaurants and the vibrant culture of East Dallas, while remaining just minutes from Downtown Dallas. The property also benefits from a quiet setting adjacent to the Episcopal church, a longstanding and peaceful neighbor.

A distinctive offering for the buyer with vision—preserve the character of the existing home, undertake a transformative renovation, or create something entirely new on this exceptional piece of Forest Hills.
