6984 Santa Barbara Drive Modern design meets the rugged beauty of the outdoors at this newly constructed residence on Santa Barbara Drive. Positioned directly across from the neighborhood's premier trail system and nestled on a sprawling, private .357-acre lot, the property offers a rare connection to nature just moments from the shores of White Rock Lake. This isn't just a home; it's a front-row seat to the best of the Lakewood landscape. The architecture is a masterclass in transparency, defined by soaring walls of glass and three massive sliding door systems that blur the line between the white oak interiors and the lush, creek-side surroundings. Every detail has been curated for the design-conscious, from the industrial-chic steel doors to the whisper-quiet soundproofed windows that ensure the interior remains a serene sanctuary. At the heart of the home, a towering limestone fireplace anchors the great room, flowing naturally into a kitchen that feels like a piece of sculpture. Wrapped in Taj Mahal quartzite, the culinary space features a massive statement island and a discreet butler's pantry for effortless hosting. The adjacent dining area, equipped with dual wine coolers and custom storage, is ready for a serious collection. The lifestyle continues upstairs, where a secondary lounge with its own beverage station opens to one of two private balconies. The primary suite is a study in understated luxury, offering a sophisticated retreat from the day. With five bedrooms in total, the layout is as functional as it is beautiful. Outside, the oversized lot serves as a private park, further enhanced by professional landscaping. The heavy lifting has already been done with approved City of Dallas pool permits in hand, allowing for the immediate addition of a custom aquatic retreat. Complete with integrated security and high-end millwork throughout, this is a residence that balances bold architectural intent with the ease of a lakeside lifestyle.
