If you’ve been looking for a reason to move to Fairview, we just found 1,429 of them — all conveniently located inside 913 Barksdale Creek Lane. This custom Tim Jackson masterpiece on 1.25 acres makes “refined elegance” look like an understatement.
Welcome to the ‘Country-Chic’ Life
For those who haven’t noticed, Fairview is having a major moment. It’s the “cool older sister” of the Dallas suburbs, offering sprawling acreage, rolling hills, and a highly rated ISD, all while being minutes from the shopping at Fairview Town Center. While the rest of North Texas is getting crowded, Fairview stays true to its “Keep it Country” roots, just with way better kitchens.
The First Floor Has Got Real Main Character Energy
This one-and-a-half-story layout is a genius move for anyone who hates stairs but loves drama (the architectural kind). From the moment you roll up the circular drive and pass the gas lanterns, you know you’ve arrived. That unmistakable feeling extends from the front curb and all its appeal through to the immaculate and lush tree-lined backyard that backs to the neighborhood’s Sloan Creek Trail.
“The one-and-a-half-story design is the ultimate floor plan flex,” said listing agent Stephanie Fontenot. “It allows the majority of your daily life to be enjoyed on the first floor without sacrificing the space and privacy a grand estate offers.”
In the office, the leathered granite desk and moody green built-ins have that look about them as if to say, “I closed a merger before lunch,” even if you were just scrolling Instagram. And then there are the kitchen(s) — yes, plural. There’s the chef’s kitchen with dual quartzite islands and Wolf appliances, and then there’s the scullery. Because why let guests see your dirty pasta water when you can hide it in a secondary prep kitchen equipped with its own dishwasher, icemaker, sink, and warming drawer?
A Closet You Could Get Lost In (Literally)
Worthy of its own paragraph is the primary suite. Along with its recessed ceilings and private patio, this space doesn’t just have a closet — it has a dressing/glam room with a rolling ladder to store your “off-season” designer handbags. There’s a jewelry display case, a shoe storage wall that rivals a boutique, and a hideaway coffee bar with a mini-fridge in the bathroom. You could effectively live in this wing of the house for three days before anyone noticed you were missing.
The Ultimate Backyard Flex
If the interior hasn’t sold you, the backyard will. Let’s use bullet points for maximum effect:
- Casita and gym (no excuses now)
- Patios with ceiling heaters and electric screens for year-round lounging
- Pool
- Spa
- Fire pit
Need we say more?
“Between the separate casita, the outdoor kitchen, and those incredible water features, this isn’t just a backyard — it’s a private resort built for the best entertaining in North Texas,” said Fontenot.
