The House on the Corner: A Private Courtyard Retreat Behind the Gates of Preston Trail

We’ve just listed a rare corner-lot retreat in one of North Dallas’s best-kept secrets — a single-story home built around light, privacy, and a stone fountain courtyard.

There is a particular kind of magic to a neighborhood that most people drive past without ever knowing it’s there. Cambridge Place at Preston Trail is exactly that kind of place — gated, guarded, and genuinely private, its quiet, tree-covered streets curling around a park and greenbelt reserved for the people who actually live there. It is inside this hidden pocket of North Dallas that we’re proud to introduce our newest listing: 5719 Hagen Court, a single-story traditional built in 1996 by Hawkins-Welwood that wears its age exceptionally well.

The Only True Corner Lot in the Neighborhood

The first thing worth knowing about this house is its lot. Most homes in Cambridge Place sit zero-lot-line, windowless on one side by design. This one doesn’t. Set on a rare, true corner of a small cul-de-sac, it catches light from both directions — an ordinary-sounding fact that changes the entire feel of the place the moment you step inside. Hardwood floors, still gleaming as though newly laid, run beneath ceilings that rise past eleven feet, framed by bay windows, plantation shutters, and skylights that keep that light moving through the day. From the entry, the floor plan unspools easily through a formal dining and living room, into a sunlit breakfast nook, and finally into a kitchen-den warmed by a stone fireplace and mantle.

Two Dining Rooms, One Butler’s Pantry

The kitchen itself has the bones of a home built for people who actually cook — custom cabinetry, an oversized island, a gas cooktop, a double oven, a walk-in pantry, and a butler’s prep space set with quiet precision between the kitchen and the dining room. Two separate living areas and two dining areas give the home a rare kind of flexibility, whether the occasion is a holiday table for twenty or a quiet Tuesday breakfast. A private office with a built-in desk sits ready for the way people actually work now, and the practical corners of the house — central air, natural gas heat, a real utility room with built-in cabinets and space for a second freezer — were clearly considered with the same care as the beautiful ones.

A Corner Soaking Tub and a View of the Patio

Down the hall, two generously proportioned guest bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, with a powder room tucked near the entry for visitors. But the primary suite is where the house reveals its true character — a sitting area that looks out toward the patio, and a bath appointed with a corner soaking tub, arched windows, a separate walk-in shower, split vanities, warm brass fixtures, and a closet system large enough to make organization feel effortless rather than aspirational.

An Octagonal Fountain, and Nothing Else to Hear

Outside, the storybook quality continues. A private courtyard, shaded by mature trees and a wooden pergola, centers on an octagonal stone fountain — the only sound you’re likely to hear back there. Flagstone paving and stone walkways wind through beds of mondo grass, a groundcover that never needs mowing, which is either a small luxury or a philosophy, depending on how you look at it. A two-car garage with epoxy flooring and a workshop area rounds out a property that has clearly been built, and maintained, with real intention — brick construction, a composition roof, rain gutters, and a sprinkler-fed, low-maintenance lot among the details that will matter long after the fountain has lost its novelty.

Minutes From the Tollway, Miles From the Noise

The home sits minutes from the Dallas North Tollway, the President George Bush Turnpike, and Preston Road, within Dallas ISD and zoned to Jerry Junkins Elementary, Walker Middle School, and White High School. Behind the community’s guarded entrance, an owned security system adds one more layer of the kind of peace of mind that doesn’t show up in photographs — quietly underwritten by an annual HOA fee of $4,314, which also covers front yard maintenance, grounds upkeep, and management.

The Price of a Corner Like This

5719 Hagen Court is listed at $1,295,000 — $392 per square foot across 3,300 square feet on a 6,141-square-foot corner lot — and came to market on September 7 through Compass, with Janelle Rawlston of Mosaic RE Group as listing agent. It is not the kind of house that announces itself from the street. It simply waits, on its quiet corner, for the right person to find it — and we would love to be the ones who show it to you.
