Architecturally distinctive residence in coveted Little Forest Hills, ideally located within walking distance of White Rock Lake and the Dallas Arboretum. Designed and built by BuildTX, the home pairs dramatic contemporary architecture with warm natural materials and an exceptional connection between the interior and surrounding landscape. The striking exterior combines brick, natural wood and expansive black-framed windows beneath dramatic pitched rooflines. Inside, the main living and dining spaces are defined by soaring cathedral ceilings, exposed beams and floor-to-ceiling glass at both ends, filling the home with natural light and creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. Wide-plank wood floors carry throughout the primary living areas, while a dramatic fireplace anchors the living room. The kitchen features custom black and natural wood cabinetry, marble countertops and backsplash, fluted-glass display cabinetry, an oversized island, designer lighting and a premium stainless steel appliance package. Large windows overlooking the backyard continue the home's emphasis on indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. The private primary retreat features a beautifully finished bath with warm natural materials, marble surfaces, custom cabinetry, a freestanding tub and oversized frameless walk-in shower. A separate flex space provides the perfect setting for a private office, game room or additional living area. Upstairs, a rooftop deck surrounded by mature trees creates an unexpected outdoor retreat. Two separate rear-entry garages provide additional flexibility, with one oversized to accommodate storage. Thoughtfully designed, highly detailed and unlike the typical new construction found throughout Dallas, 8645 Redondo offers a rare combination of bold architecture, quality materials and comfortable everyday living-just minutes from some of East Dallas' best outdoor amenities.
