Property Overview
Tucked off Royal Lane in a quiet cul-de-sac, this home sits on a rare one-acre, heavily treed lot in Russwood Acres. It does not face Royal, you feel that the moment you turn in, with the canopy from all the Live Oaks. This is a 1970s modern home that still honors the architect's original vision. Stone stack walls move from outside to inside. A 20-foot porte cochère sets the scale. Heroic Sunburst front doors greet you at the threshold. A full cosmetic and systems renovation in 2020 brought everything current without erasing the soul. The powder bath stays original, because that 70s vibe is the point. The unseen star is the glass. Windows of every size bring nature, the light, and the views of the pool in. The kitchen runs on Wolf and Miele, with custom cabinets built for the way you actually cook. Downstairs holds four dedicated bedrooms, including a primary that opens to the pool. Upstairs adds a second primary suite, a great room, a balcony over looking the pool, plus a loft that works as an 2nd office or gym. The current office overlooks the pool with a full en-suite bath, so it can flexes as another bedroom whenever you need it. For visiting parents, in-laws, or a college kid back for the summer, the second floor gives them their own world. The upstairs is already plumbed for a bar when it's time. This home was built to host. A graduation party that flows from kitchen to pool to lawn without anyone bumping elbows, or the best 300 person baby shower. The three-car garage fits a lift for a fourth if you want. Lutron Caseta runs the lights. A fire suppression system is present. The crawl space is encapsulated, lit, with a sump pump and dehumidifier. There are 5 HVAC units to ensure your comfort. You are central to everything Dallas. Love Field & DFW airports and downtown are short drives. One-acre, mature trees, private, this is rare ground.

Land Value $1,380,000 + Improvement Value $830,000 = CAD Market Value $2,210,000
2. Improvement Details: Size, Type & Assessed Value

3. Current Tax Exemptions & Statutory Limitations
Property tax bills reflect two distinct types of CAD adjustments: local taxing jurisdiction exemptions (which reduce taxable value below appraised value) and statutory appraisal limitations (which limit the annual growth of appraised value itself). Each taxing entity establishes its own exemption amounts and tax rates.
The current CAD record shows a homestead exemption. Specific deduction amounts vary by taxing jurisdiction.

Each taxing jurisdiction may apply its own exemptions, limitations, and taxable-value adjustments. The figures shown reflect the current CAD record. Specific exemption details are displayed when available from the source. A buyer’s exemptions and future tax obligations may differ.
4. Value After CAD Reductions
This is where CAD reductions, exemptions, limitations, or special-use valuation may affect the value used for tax calculations.
CAD Market Value $2,210,000 − All Current CAD Reductions $0 = Current Taxed Starting Point $2,210,000
This reflects the CAD net appraised value after current CAD reductions. Individual taxing units may use different taxable values when exemptions apply.
5. Who Taxes It?
These are the local entities included in the current CAD/tax estimate. A property tax bill can include a city, county, school district, municipal utility district, public improvement district, or other special district. Each entity may use its own taxable value, rate, and exemption treatment.

7. CAD Values Over Time
YOY Change reflects the change in CAD Market Value from the prior appraisal year. Taxed / Appraised reflects the CAD net appraised value after CAD reductions, or the certified capped appraisal value where jurisdictions differ. Individual taxing units may use different taxable values when exemptions apply.
| Year | Land | Impr. | Market | Taxed / Appraised | YOY Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | $810,000 | $820,000 | $1,630,000 | — | — |
| 2021 | $810,000 | $820,000 | $1,630,000 | — | — |
| 2022 | $1,110,000 | $1,050,600 | $2,160,600 | $1,793,000 | +$530,600 / +32.55% |
| 2023 | $1,290,000 | $931,360 | $2,221,360 | $1,972,300 | +$60,760 / +2.81% |
| 2024 | $1,380,000 | $966,550 | $2,346,550 | $2,169,530 | +$125,190 / +5.64% |
| 2025 | $1,380,000 | $830,000 | $2,210,000 | — | -$136,550 / -5.82% |
8. List Price vs CAD Value
The current list price and the county’s CAD market value are not the same thing. CAD market value is used for property-tax context and may lag the open market, reflect prior protests, exemptions, caps, agricultural or special-use treatment, or other appraisal district methods.
How does the list price compare with the CAD value?
CAD values are appraisal-district values used for property-tax purposes and can differ from current asking prices and eventual sale prices.
Current List Price $3,967,000 − Current CAD Market Value $2,210,000 = Over CAD Value +$1,757,000 (+79.5%)
A sale price can become part of the appraisal district’s future evidence. A buyer’s future taxable value and tax bill may change after purchase, especially if exemptions, caps, or special-use valuation change.
For tax planning, buyers should confirm future taxable value, exemptions, and special-use treatment with the appraisal district, tax office, lender, CPA, or other qualified advisor.
