Located in coveted Mallard Cove, a tucked-away two-cul-de-sac community on Lake Ray Hubbard, 3422 Mallard Park offers the kind of setting that rarely becomes available: peaceful water views, mature trees, unforgettable sunsets, and a custom home designed to make the lake part of everyday life.
A Rare Setting in Coveted Mallard Cove
Mallard Cove is one of those Rowlett neighborhoods that many buyers may not know by name until they discover it—and then they understand why homes here are so hard to find. Made up of just two cul-de-sacs, this small lakefront community offers a quiet, tucked-away feel while still keeping you close to I-30, George Bush, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences.
What makes this property especially compelling is its position along Lake Ray Hubbard, backing to Corps of Engineers property near the mouth of Rowlett Creek. The result is a peaceful natural setting with lake views, mature trees, wildlife, and the kind of backyard experience that makes home feel like an escape.
Dutch Colonial–Inspired Curb Appeal
Set beneath mature trees, this custom home makes a memorable first impression with its Dutch Colonial–inspired design, limewashed brick exterior, gambrel-style roofline, dormer windows, black shutters, and welcoming covered front porch.
The exterior has a classic, established feel without looking dated. The limewash finish adds softness and character, while the front porch, professional landscaping, and mature trees create a warm sense of arrival.
Bright Interiors with Lake Views Throughout
Inside, the home offers high ceilings, extensive LVP flooring, custom millwork, updated lighting, plantation shutters, and updated vinyl windows that bring in natural light and frame the lake views beautifully.
The lake is not just something you see from the backyard. It is part of the experience from several key areas of the home, including the family room, casual dining area, lake-view den, and owner’s suite.
Family Room Designed Around the View
The family room is warm, comfortable, and connected to the outdoors. Custom built-ins provide useful storage and display space, while the gas fireplace creates a natural focal point. Large updated windows overlook the covered patio, fenced backyard, mature trees, and Lake Ray Hubbard beyond.
It is the kind of room that works just as well for quiet evenings at home as it does for gathering with friends.
Updated Kitchen with Style and Function
The kitchen was updated with a clean, timeless look and practical features for everyday living. Highlights include white shaker-style cabinetry, black hardware, granite countertops, a stainless farmhouse sink, stainless dishwasher, stainless refrigerator, Viking five-burner gas range, stainless vent hood, black tile backsplash, undercabinet lighting, pull-out trash bin, breakfast bar, and a walk-in pantry.
The layout connects easily to the casual dining area and main living spaces, making it comfortable for both everyday meals and entertaining.
Casual Dining Wrapped in Lake Views
One of the standout everyday spaces is the casual dining area. Wrapped in windows, this room offers beautiful views of the backyard and lake, making it an ideal spot for morning coffee, casual meals, or relaxing conversation.
The bar-height table in this space stays with the property, adding another functional detail that works well with the layout.
Flexible Lake-View Den
The downstairs den is one of the home’s most useful and versatile rooms. With a wall of windows overlooking the lake, a walk-in closet, high ceilings, extensive moldings, and updated flooring, this space can serve as a home office, second living area, guest space, or potential additional bedroom depending on the buyer’s needs.
For many waterfront buyers, this flexibility may be more valuable than a traditional room label. It gives the home room to adapt for work, guests, hobbies, or quiet relaxation.
Owner’s Suite with Patio Access
The owner’s suite feels private and peaceful, with lake views, direct access to the covered patio, and a see-through fireplace that connects to the bath. It offers an easy indoor-outdoor connection and a quiet place to begin and end the day.
The updated owner’s bath adds both comfort and character with a quartz vanity, lit mirrors, dual sinks, a real clawfoot tub, tile walk-in shower with frameless glass, dual showerheads, shower seat, built-in linen storage, and custom closet built-ins.
Spacious Upstairs Bedrooms
Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms offer walk-in closets, natural light, and comfortable separation from the main living areas. One bedroom includes two walk-in dormer spaces, adding character and extra usable storage.
The upstairs bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath with separate vanity space, a tub/shower area, and built-in storage.
Outdoor Living on Lake Ray Hubbard
The backyard is where this home truly stands apart. The covered back patio includes ceiling fans and opens to a large fenced yard framed by mature trees and lake views. It is a beautiful place to relax in the shade, host friends, or simply enjoy the quiet waterfront setting.
A steel retaining wall and ladder make it easier to access the water for the included paddle boat, canoes, or kayaks. The paddle boat stays with the property, giving the next owner a simple way to enjoy peaceful time on the water.
While a dock is permitted, the seller believes the water is likely not deep enough for a traditional dock. Buyers should verify water depth, dock options, and intended use.
Sunsets, Wildlife, and a Slower Pace
Few features compare to the sunsets here. From the backyard, the sky opens across Lake Ray Hubbard, creating a beautiful evening backdrop. The natural berm and lakefront setting attract birds, cranes, turtles, and other wildlife, adding to the peaceful feel of the property.
This is a home where the setting becomes part of your routine—from morning coffee with the lake in view to quiet evenings watching the sunset.
