Welcome to 8416 Santa Clara in the sought after Forest Hills neighborhood in Dallas, TX. Sitting on nearly a .50-acre lot and boasting one of the most private backyards in all of Forest Hills as not one neighbor has a view into the backyard. A rarity in this neighborhood. Pride of ownership abounds as many of the home’s main mechanicals have been recently replaced or upgraded! New roof in 2023! Updates as of 2021 include 3 new HVAC systems & a whole house tankless water heater system! Spray foam insulation and a mosquito misting system present (although the misting system is not currently connected). Also present is a wet bar and a 170-bottle wine grotto with the addition of a dual temperature zone wine chiller! The downstairs owner's suite overlooks the spacious backyard with views of large mature trees (and not houses)! The owner’s suite also boasts dual vanities in the bathroom, a custom shower with dual shower heads, a jetted tub underneath a large, but private window, and dual closets! Also, downstairs is another bedroom and a full bath, but please know that this bedroom is separate from the owner’s suite as it sits on the other side of the house. Stepping into the family room, notice how the ceilings absolutely soar and allow in all the natural light! Also notice how the family room opens up and flows nicely to the breakfast and kitchen area! The kitchen is appointed with a Viking appliance package, loads of cabinets for storage, a large breakfast bar area and a spacious walk-in pantry… this kitchen is ready for you to make it your own for YOUR entertainment events! There are 3 main living areas in this home…. 2 downstairs and 1 upstairs. The upstairs living area is over the 2-car garage and thus far away from the owner’s suite. It also features a wet bar area with an undercounter fridge. So please make a note… with the upstairs game room so far away from the owner’s suite, there should be no worries about noise from the second floor affecting the owner of this home. Also upstairs are 3 large secondary bedrooms each with their own private en suite and large, walk-in closets. There are 1-2 studies/offices in this home depending on your use of the rooms. Also, there are 3 fireplaces on the property - 2 of them being inside, and 1 of them located on the 375 sq. ft. covered rear patio! On the topic of patios, there is also a small patio area on the front of the house (just off the formal living/study), perfect for those afternoon breaks, or a relaxing coffee spot in the morning. The 3-car garage boasts custom wood doors and ceiling heights tall enough to accommodate car lifts, so the vehicle storage capacity could certainly go up if desired. Ideally located just to the east of White Rock Lake and the Dallas Arboretum, come take a tour of this beautiful home and let’s imagine what you could do with it to make it your family’s home for the next many years to come!
