12051 Loch Ness Drive Dallas TX 75218 MLS #21346801

Custom-built in 1968 and lovingly cared for by one family ever since, this home sits on a corner lot in Lochwood, the tree-lined East Dallas neighborhood just minutes from White Rock Lake. Inside, the entry opens to formal living and dining space, then into a spacious living room anchored by a brick fireplace, timeless picture-frame wall paneling, and a beamed ceiling. Just off the living room, doors open to an air-conditioned sunroom overlooking the backyard, complete with a wet bar and built-in shelving that make it an easy space for entertaining – and one that can be closed off for privacy when needed. The spacious kitchen anchors the home with a sunny breakfast area, built-in storage, plantation shutters, and a suite of built-in appliances, including a Subzero refrigerator, double oven, cooktop, and microwave. The primary bedroom includes an ensuite bathroom and a large dual-access walk-in closet, in addition to a second walk-in closet. A three-piece guest bathroom with plenty of storage serves the two guest bedrooms, and a laundry room with space for an additional fridge or freezer, plus a half bathroom, sits just off the entry from the three-car garage. Parking is equally exceptional, with the three-car garage joined by an additional three-car carport behind a sliding iron gate for six total covered spaces. Outside, mature landscaping – oakleaf hydrangeas, nandinas, and stately shade oaks — surrounds a backyard built for both relaxing and working, complete with a separate 9×12 workshop offering power and window-unit air conditioning, perfect for a hobby studio, she-shed, or man-cave.
Recent updates – a new roof in 2025, new HVAC in 2023, and new windows in 2015 — mean the big-ticket items are already handled. Just outside the front door, Lochwood’s 12.3-acre park offers trails along Dixon Branch Creek, tennis and pickleball courts, and a shaded playground, while White Rock Lake and Casa Linda Plaza are just minutes away.
