There is a particular quality of light in the neighborhood of Southridge Lakes that arrives just before dusk, when the sky goes soft and the water holds the last of it, still and mirror-flat against the deepening color. At 1113 Brazos Drive, that light comes directly to you. The rear of the home faces the neighborhood lake with nothing between the water and your eye but a sweep of lawn, a stone-edged pool, and the kind of quiet that only water can give a neighborhood.
The approach is classic Southlake: a broad roofline with multiple peaks, arched windows flanking a dark wood entry door framed in stained glass. The front lawn is generous, shaded by mature oaks, composed without effort. This is a home that presents itself with confidence before you ever step inside.
The entry opens to a grand stair with oak treads and wrought iron balusters, and the eye pulls immediately toward the vaulted great room, the white-painted fireplace rising to the ceiling line, and through a wall of arched windows, the water. The room is anchored by rich wood floors that run throughout the main level, and a chandelier that catches the afternoon light from the entry above. The ceilings soar, the proportions breathe, and natural light fills the home.
The kitchen continues that confidence: white raised-panel cabinetry, quartz counters, a generous island with seating, double ovens, stainless appliances, and a bay of windows positioned so that even the act of cooking carries a water view. The adjoining breakfast area wraps the corner in glass, the lake framed in every pane.
Behind barn doors off the main living area, a private study offers its own composed stillness. Warm wood floors, sunburst transom windows, a pendant chandelier, and separation from the rest of the home. A guest bedroom on the main floor rounds out the downstairs with the same quiet consideration.
The owner's suite occupies a quiet wing on the main floor. Wide windows look directly over the pool and spa and out to the lake, and in the morning, the light that comes through them is golden and unhurried. The owner's bath offers a separate glass-enclosed shower, a soaking tub, dual vanities with quartz countertops, and a vaulted ceiling that gives the room a calm, elevated quality.
Upstairs, the home gives the lake view to everyone. Two additional bedrooms look out over the water, and a game room anchors the upper level with the kind of space a family grows into and never quite outgrows.
The outdoor living at Brazos is where the home fully reveals itself and earns everything the setting promises. The screened porch is the kind of space that becomes the center of a family's life without anyone deciding it would. The pool and spa open toward the lake, the lawn runs to the iron fence at the water's edge, and on the evenings when the sky does what it does here in Texas, there is no better place in Southlake to be standing. The water surrounds you at golden hour.
Four bedrooms, three baths, with upstairs game room and water views across the rooftops. Zoned to Carroll ISD.
