If your real estate search centers on top-tier security, tree-lined cul-de-sacs, and zero tolerance for outdated finishes, pull up a chair. Nestled safely behind the 24/7 guard gates of Far North Dallas’ highly coveted Glen Abbey community, 37 Kennington Ct. is serving up a serious turnkey opportunity.
Originally built by luxury powerhouse Hawkins-Welwood, this transitional home underwent a complete, top-to-bottom glow-up in 2022. The curb appeal immediately sets the mood: an off-white, slurry-finished brick exterior paired with dark window frames, and a sleek metal-and-glass front door, all set against significantly enhanced landscaping.
“When you combine Hawkins-Welwood’s iconic structural integrity with a crisp, modern aesthetic, you get a home that feels both timeless and completely on-trend,” said listing agent Joe Gall of Ebby’s Little White House. “It’s the ultimate answer for buyers who want classic elegance without taking on a multi-year renovation project.”
Inside, the layout flows effortlessly. The enormous main living area leads straight out to a private courtyard (ideal for alfresco wine sipping) while a formal dining room and a dedicated library/study handle your entertaining and work-from-home needs. Hardwood floors have been refinished and partially replaced downstairs, accompanied by custom lighting, soaring ceilings, and extensive moldings throughout.
The kitchen is a standout designed for serious home chefs. Consider the following thoughtful touches:
- Luminous quartzite countertops
- Custom glass-front cabinetry with under-cabinet and interior lighting
- Dual ovens, a gas cooktop, and a spacious breakfast bar
- A huge walk-in pantry complete with its own dedicated coffee bar
When it’s time to unwind, the first-floor primary suite delivers boutique-hotel vibes. Decked out in striking Scalamandré wallpaper and custom draperies, the suite leads into a white marble bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub, separate shower, dual vanities, and twin walk-in closets.
Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms with walk-in closets share an elegant connecting bath, flanking a large game or media room, along with access to an extensively floored attic for extra storage…
