Home Details for 1578 Bar Harbor Drive

A rare opportunity to own a custom home backing to a creek & the 2nd fairway of the Golf Club of Dallas. Set on a generously sized lot & with no rear neighbors, the sense of privacy & open space is truly extraordinary. Tucked within a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood known for its architect-designed residences, this property offers a setting that feels miles away from the city. The view is alive with nature. Evenings are often accompanied by the rhythmic sound of frogs along the creek, while daytime brings hawks—& occasionally eagles—gliding overhead. The uninterrupted expanse of the fairway creates a natural backdrop of rolling green, & a steady, cooling breeze frequently drifts across the course, adding to the peaceful, almost retreat-like atmosphere. Inside, original details remain preserved, including brick flooring in the entry & sunken living room, rich tongue & groove paneling, 6-panel solid wood doors with brass & chrome hardware, & period light fixtures. Expansive windows along the rear of the home invite in abundant natural light & frame wide, unobstructed views of the course, creek, & surrounding greenery—blurring the line between indoor & outdoor living. The flexible floor plan offers multiple options for primary living, with a spacious upstairs primary suite featuring elevated views, along with additional main or upper-level spaces that could function as alternative primary suites. Additional highlights include a dedicated office with lighted cabinetry, a butler’s pantry, a wet bar, in-law or service quarters with a bath, & generous closets with custom built-ins. While the interior remains largely original, the exterior has been updated with Tyvek wrapping, Hardie board siding, & fresh paint—providing a durable foundation for future vision & enhancements. With its architectural pedigree, rare privacy, sweeping natural views, & exceptional potential, this home offers a truly distinctive living experience in a setting that feels both serene & inspiring.
