Description
Welcome to one of Denton’s most enchanting hidden retreats — a beautifully restored and thoughtfully updated 1941 Cape Cod tucked among towering trees, lush gardens, and comfortable living spaces in the heart of town. Lovingly renovated while preserving its original charm and architectural character, the main residence offers timeless warmth and understated elegance throughout. Rich hardwood flooring, crown molding, custom built-ins, soft natural light, and inviting gathering spaces create an atmosphere that feels both refined and welcoming. The gracious living room features a wood burning fireplace with gas insert, flanked by custom cabinetry and bookshelves, while the spacious dining room and updated kitchen featuring solid wood counters, shelved pantry and storage closet blend classic charm with thoughtful functionality. A screened porch overlooking the gardens provides the perfect setting for morning coffee, evening dinners, or quiet relaxation surrounded by nature. The outdoor setting is truly exceptional. Professionally curated gardens, mature trees, flowering plantings, stone pathways, and intimate seating areas surround a stunning heated in-ground 12X24X4 concrete pool with an additional 5X6 area with steps, creating a private backyard sanctuary rarely found in an in-town setting. Every element of the grounds has been thoughtfully designed to evoke beauty, serenity, and a sense of retreat. Adding remarkable versatility and personality to the property is the detached guest cottage/pool house — this area offers the fourth bedroom and an additional full bath- it's a beautifully finished space with a distinctly relaxed, artistic character featuring soaring wood-beamed ceilings, open-concept living and sleeping areas, kitchenette, and stylish full bath. Perfect for guests, creative studio space, private office, hobbies, or peaceful overflow accommodations, the cottage offers its own unique boutique-retreat ambiance while complementing the timeless elegance of the main home. Extensive improvements completed over time include updated HVAC and ductwork, electrical rewiring and breaker panels, plumbing updates, tankless water heater, insulation improvements, crawlspace vapor barrier, custom remodeling, hardscaping, fencing, buried power lines, driveway improvements, and numerous additional quality enhancements throughout the property. Rarely does a property combine historic charm, curated outdoor living, guest accommodations, and such an inviting sense of place — all conveniently located close to downtown Denton shops, restaurants, waterfront parks, and community events.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDenton Elementary School has gone don hill over the years especially the 2013-2014 school year. My daughter has been hurt several times and no call from the nurse. The principals don't bother resolving issues between students and teachers and parents even when requesting to have students removed from a classroom before the school year begins to stop a problem before it begins. Teachers refuse to answer questions when my child raises their hand for help. A class size of 54 students is to large for my child to learn and when I requested for her to be moved the principals over looked it and turned their backs. Teacher only allow their favorite students parents on field trips and to bring things in for class parties. No communication what so ever. Very unorganized.Parent Review12y ago - North Caroline High School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is awful. The staff bullies students just as much as the students. The "resource officers" talk about the female students and stare at them. The whole school should be shut down and redone.Parent Review5y ago - Lockerman Middle School
