5240 Northaven Road

Situated on a sprawling one-acre lot in the quiet Russwood Acres neighborhood, this four-bedroom home feels like a personal retreat, even though it sits just minutes from popular shopping and dining spots and North Dallas’ in-demand private schools. Completely rebuilt in 2011, the traditional charmer encompasses more than 4,100 square feet and features numerous entertaining areas both inside and out.

With its expansive stone wall, tall ceiling, and paneled double doors, the foyer makes a grand first impression. Just off the entrance, a cozy formal living room offers views of the landscaped front yard and steps down into a spacious family room, where a stone-surround fireplace and built-ins add warmth, while a bar area with room to seat four makes entertaining easy. The comfortable family room opens onto an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, plentiful storage, and a center island with a built-in breakfast table. Just off the kitchen, a formal dining area offers more room for entertaining and features a sliding glass door leading to a private walled courtyard. Private areas include a large owner’s suite with a vaulted wood ceiling, fireplace, wet bar, and access to a covered patio, as well as a sizable bath featuring dual sinks and a separate tub and shower. The ranch-style floor plan also includes three generous guest bedrooms.

The amenities continue outside, where a 10-foot diving pool shares space with multiple outdoor sitting areas. Thanks to the oversize lot, there’s also room to add a tennis court, soccer field, or guesthouse. Other highlights include garage space for seven cars, solar panels with a 20-year lease, and an app-controlled ELAN smart-home system including security, media, cameras, and video.

With its revamped layout, oasis-like outdoor spaces, and desirable location in a well-established neighborhood, this rare home is a relaxing hideaway that has the added benefit of being close to the city’s many urban conveniences.
