A Favorite Place: The Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Gardens : Shelly Brown-Qualls

I love the Dallas Arboretum. My family and I go often and attend a lot of concerts on the lawn there. If you haven't been, you must go. "Autumn at the Arboretum" is Dallas's favorite Fall tradition.

Enough Said.

Fabulous "double lot" waterfront property facing southeast at Cedar Creek Lake! This darling 2 bedroom / 2 bath home plus 1/1 guest cottage (sq ft quoted per owner and includes both structures) offers amazing views and plenty of privacy and elbow room. The main home has been completely updated with Pella windows and French doors, crown molding, Saltillo tile, copper top kitchen island and a shabby chic style that is magazine worthy. It has an open floor plan with lots of natural light, distressed painted kitchen cabinets, wood burning fireplace with a starter and a wall of windows to maximize the view. Both bedrooms face the waterfront and open to a deck that spans the length of the house. Covered decking adds cozy outdoor dining and living areas. The storybook guest cottage is down by the water and your guests may never want to leave! The neighboring homes are situated so that this one offers great privacy on the waterside and the front is fenced and gated with double sided Cedar. Have all the privacy you'd want, but enjoy quick and easy access to local amenities and an easy commute to the metroplex. Located on a small cul-de-sac with nice homes and fabulous new construction at the end of the street. There's a cute storage building with electricity, a tool shed, a steel retaining wall with a concrete cap, a pier and boathouse with electric boat lift and sprinkler system off of a lake pump. This unique property has plenty of room for expansion, or the double lots are truly stunning enough to build the home of your dreams.

Fun in the Sun! : Shelly Brown-Qualls

I have a love for lakes, sunshine, and beaches. Locally, I remain an active Realtor in the Cedar Creek Lake area and Dallas. I am originally from the Cedar Creek area have relocated to the Dallas area to be with my husband. Luckily, I am able to be a realtor in both places ad can utilize both 'Multiple Listing Systems,' necessary for listings properties and advertising to all.


Lake Lewisville Standup Paddleboard: so-much-fun. Highly recommended and sponsored by DFW Surf Adventures. I am currently taking classes at Lake Lewisville in Frisco.

More fun in the sun. My son and the family dog.
