About this home
Welcome to 6517 Dresden Lane in the highly desirable Valley Estates community, ideally located between Crabtree Valley and North Hills. Nestled on a beautifully landscaped 0.40-acre homesite, this charming 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with 1,972 square feet offers timeless charm, exceptional outdoor living, and an impressive list of thoughtful updates, including a recently replaced roof, Hardie® brand siding with factory applied finish, upstairs HVAC system and ductwork, refreshed exterior paint, rejuvenated hardwood flooring in the main living areas, and numerous additional improvements throughout. The heart of the home is the inviting kitchen, featuring red oak cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, a decorative tile backsplash, gas cooktop, pantry, stainless steel appliances including a new KitchenAid wall oven (2024) with air-fry functionality, new dishwasher (2024), under-cabinet LED lighting, recessed lighting, and a sunny breakfast area with a bay window overlooking the backyard. A separate formal dining room showcases a bay window, classic wainscoting, crown molding, and elegant finishes—perfect for entertaining. The inviting family room features custom built-in bookcases flanking a cozy wood-burning fireplace, beautifully rejuvenated hardwood floors, and double doors that open to the freshly stained Brazilian Tigerwood deck with under-rail lighting and covered storage underneath. When it's time to unwind, retreat upstairs to the private owner's suite overlooking a peaceful wooded backyard. The suite features a spacious walk-in closet and an updated en-suite bath with a tiled walk-in shower and a new toilet. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath, which also has a new toilet provide comfortable accommodations for family, guests, or a home office. A convenient laundry room completes the second level. The outdoor setting is equally impressive, featuring professionally landscaped grounds accented by mature Ginkgo, Japanese Maple, and Dogwood trees that create a private, park-like backdrop. A charming paver walkway adds character to the grounds, while updated exterior lighting beautifully showcases the home in the evenings. The recently painted perimeter fencing provides both privacy and a polished finishing touch. Storage is abundant throughout the property, offering space for seasonal décor, lawn equipment, and everyday organization. In addition to the attached one-car garage with pull-down attic access, the home features a floored attic for generous overhead storage, as well as a dedicated rear storage room complete with built-in wood shelving, wall-mounted pegboard organization, and its own breaker panel for added versatility. Other major improvements include fiber cement siding, a downstairs HVAC compressor (2024), EverClean no-clog gutter system with a transferrable warranty, and Google Fiber and AT&T Fiber are available.
