West Plano has quickly become a go-to destination for many people looking to settle in the suburbs of Dallas. This section of the Willow Bend area, is well-known for its natural beauty, unique home design, and proximity to the best schools and shopping/dining our area has to offer. 5217 Old Shepard Place is a charming one-story home, nestled comfortably in this great neighborhood.
Combine a spacious layout with vaulted ceilings, rich vinyl flooring, and plenty of natural light to create an inviting ambiance for all of the living spaces. With three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, two living areas, a separate dining room, and a cozy fireplace, this home is the ideal setting for creating lasting memories with family and friends.
Before you even enter, walking up to this home is special. The front yard has updated landscaping, and the angles of the covered porch really set the design apart from the rest of the street. As you step inside, you'll immediately notice the attention to detail and all of the warm accents throughout. The main living area is bright and inviting, providing plenty of room for relaxation or entertaining guests.
The kitchen is a dream, boasting an abundance of granite counter space, sleek cabinetry, space for eating at the counter-height bar, and modern appliances. Whether you're preparing a quick breakfast or hosting a dinner party, this kitchen is sure to inspire.
The Owner’s suite is a true retreat, bringing open spaces and room to breathe. The ensuite bathroom is beautiful and full of upgrades, while the walk-in closet is another space we can’t help but love. The two additional bedrooms are generously sized and share a full bath.
This home also offers a few bonus spaces: a second living area that can be utilized as a family room and a home office that could also be a study or media room. There are lots of ways to use these spaces depending on your needs and preferences.
Outside, you'll find a well-maintained yard with mature trees and a patio area, the perfect space for outdoor activities and gatherings. Whether you're hosting a barbecue or simply enjoying the Texas weather, this backyard is sure to be a favorite spot.
Old Shepard Place is a quiet retreat but still just minutes away from almost anything you could need. Shopping, dining, and entertainment are easily accessible just across the Dallas North Tollway. The ever-evolving Shops of Willow Bend presents some of our personal favorites, like Neiman Marcus, Crate & Barrel, and Restoration Hardware. The mall itself also has several unique boutiques that pique a variety of interests. On the east side of the development, a new area called The District at The Shops at Willow Bend has brought some incredible new flavors to our area. Long-time local favorites (like Whistlebritches and Knife) have found a home with new and tasty concepts (like Terra and Mexican Bar Co.).
If the great outdoors is more your style, it’s important to note that Gleneagles Country Club is less than five minutes away. Gleneagles offers two pristine 18-hole championship courses, presenting distinct challenges and bringing delight to players at every skill level. A recent multi-million dollar renovation made the courses more accessible year-round! Also, their driving range gives golfers a chance to practice off the course. Back at the club, sip and savor in the restaurants, take a dip in the pool, and work out in the fitness center. It really is a membership that enhances your entire lifestyle! Neighboring cities are also bringing golf more to the forefront of our conversations on a daily basis. Just this month (May 2023), the PGA opened its world headquarters and hosted its first championship tournament at the Fields in northwest Frisco.
Back closer to home, the City of Plano has done an incredible job of helping residents find more fresh air. Example one is just down the road! Arbor Hills, a 200-acre park featuring vast areas of natural beauty perfect for walking, jogging, and hiking. The observation tower gives a spectacular view of the city. Across town, but worth every bit of the drive, is Oak Point Park and Nature Preserve. If you’re not a Plano native, this might be a new space to explore but locals have been loving this 800 acres of serenity for years. The park boasts nearly eight miles of concrete trails and five miles of soft surface trails located along Rowlett Creek. Given the right time of year, you might also find a concert or craft fair there.
Although not in the same Willow Bend shopping district, if you head north just two main intersections along Legacy and the Tollway, one of our newer developments, Legacy West, has some great date night choices in Earl’s Kitchen + Bar, Toulouse, Masero, or North Italia. A healthier option would be True Food Kitchen, and if nightlife is more your style, we can highly recommend Haywire and Kai. For those who can’t decide, spend some time with the unique offerings of Legacy Food Hall, a unique, upscale food court concept that also brings great events to our area. Shopping along the Legacy corridor can also be very eclectic and fun. Local boutiques pair well with luxury brands, presenting everything from Front Gate, Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Tesla, and Tiffany to Cousin Earl, Rustic Cuff, Ella Bleu, and the Impeccable Pig.
Lastly, if you prefer honing your own chef skills, entertaining friends, and dining at home, it’s easy to find some incredible ingredients and resources right here. Enjoying food with people you love is more than just a pastime and we have some stores that can help elevate your experiences. At Park and Preston, you find a Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and Market Street. There’s also a newly redesigned Williams Sonoma if you need some special appliances and accessories.
