Between White Rock Lake and the heart of Lake Highlands, 8635 Strathmore Drive delivers a rare combination for East Dallas buyers: a fully renovated two-story with five bedrooms, a first-floor primary suite, and a low-maintenance backyard built for Texas summers - all inside Barkley Square's established grid of tree-lined streets. Wide-plank LVP flooring runs through open, light-filled living and dining rooms framed by oversized picture windows, matte-black ceiling fans, and a clean modern palette. The reimagined kitchen anchors the main level with quartz countertops, shaker cabinetry, matte-black hardware, a farmhouse apron sink, subway tile, and a statement island range with stainless hood; the laundry room sits just off. A first-floor primary suite offers a walk-in closet and spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, black fixtures, and a glass-enclosed shower. Four additional bedrooms upstairs allow flexibility for offices, guests, or media use, with two full baths carrying the same clean design. Outside, a black-fenced backyard delivers a covered patio that lives like an outdoor room, a stock tank pool for easy summer cooling, an electric-gated motor court, and a two-car carport with attached exterior storage. Additional value: refrigerator, washer, and dryer convey; roof replaced July 2024; and an active Lifetime Transferable Foundation Warranty. Zoned to Dallas ISD with quick access to LBJ (I-635) and North Central Expressway (US-75), plus White Rock Lake trails, Lake Highlands Town Center, and Casa Linda and Lakewood dining.
