Welcome to 3422 Mallard Park in Rowlett, a rare opportunity to own a waterfront home in the coveted Mallard Cove neighborhood, one of the Rowlett's lakefront communities made up of just two cul-de-sacs. Homes here rarely come up for sale, and this one offers the kind of setting that immediately feels idyllic—peaceful Lake Ray Hubbard views, mature trees, unforgettable sunsets, and a home that was designed to take full advantage of the lakefront views.
Set on a waterfront lot backing to Corps of Engineers property, this Dutch Colonial–inspired custom home offers classic curb appeal, thoughtful updates, flexible living spaces, and a backyard experience that is hard to duplicate. With easy access to I-30 and George Bush, the location gives you a quiet lakefront setting without feeling far from everything.
Set beneath a canopy of mature trees, the home makes a memorable first impression with its limewashed brick exterior, gambrel-style roofline, dormer windows, black shutters, and welcoming covered front porch. Professional landscaping adds to the charm, while the updated front door with sidelights and transom gives the entry a clean, classic look.
This is the kind of home that feels established, custom, and inviting before you ever step inside.
Inside, the entry opens to high ceilings, extensive LVP flooring, updated lighting, plantation shutters, and custom millwork that give the home warmth and character. The staircase features an oak starter step and stained wood trim, creating a beautiful detail near the front of the home.
Updated vinyl windows bring in natural light and make the lake views part of daily life. From the family room to the casual dining area, lake-view den, and owner’s suite, the water is always close by.
The family room was designed to enjoy the setting. Custom built-ins provide storage and display space, while the gas fireplace gives the room a comfortable focal point. Large windows overlook the covered patio, backyard, mature trees, and Lake Ray Hubbard beyond.
It’s an easy place to relax, gather, or simply enjoy the view as the light changes throughout the day.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with finishes that feel clean, current, and practical. You’ll find white shaker-style cabinetry, black hardware, granite countertops, a stainless farmhouse sink, stainless dishwasher, stainless refrigerator, Viking gas range, stainless vent hood, pull-out trash bin, breakfast bar, and walk-in pantry.
The layout connects easily to the casual dining area, making the space comfortable for everyday meals, entertaining, and relaxed conversation.
The casual dining area is one of the home’s best everyday spaces, with tall windows that bring in the backyard and lake views. It’s a beautiful spot for morning coffee, casual meals, games at the bar-height table, or just slowing down and taking in the setting.
The bar-height table stays with the property, adding another easy-to-use feature to this bright dining space.
The downstairs den gives the home flexibility to accommodate your needs. With a wall of windows overlooking the lake, high ceilings, LVP flooring, extensive molding, and a walk-in closet, this room works well as a home office, second living area, guest space, or potential additional bedroom depending on how you want to use it.
For a lakefront home like this, the flexibility of this room is a real advantage.
The owner’s suite feels quiet and private, with lake views, direct access to the covered patio, and a see-through fireplace that connects to the bath. It’s a comfortable place to begin and end the day, with the lake and backyard just steps away.
The updated owner’s bath adds both function 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.
Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms offer comfortable layouts and walk-in closets. One bedroom includes walk-in dormer spaces, adding charm, storage, and extra usable space. The upstairs hallway has engineered wood flooring, and the bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath with separate vanity space for added convenience.
This upstairs layout gives the home nice separation and plenty of practical storage.
The outdoor setting is the heart of this property. The covered back patio includes ceiling fans and looks out over the fenced backyard, mature trees, and lake beyond. It’s a natural extension of the home and a comfortable place to relax in the shade, host friends, or unwind at the end of the day.
The backyard is spacious, peaceful, and beautifully framed by trees and water views. A steel retaining wall and ladder make it easier to access the water for the included paddle boat, canoes, or kayaks. The property sits near the mouth of Rowlett Creek where it meets Lake Ray Hubbard, creating a natural setting that attracts birds, cranes, turtles, and other wildlife.
While a dock is permitted, the seller believes the water is likely not deep enough for a traditional dock, so buyers should verify water depth and intended use.
The sunsets here are one of the home’s standout features. From the backyard, you get wide-open views across the water, with mature trees framing the sky as the sun sets over Lake Ray Hubbard.
Whether you’re on the patio, watching birds along the berm, taking the paddle boat out, or sitting outside as the evening light rolls in, this home offers a slower, more peaceful kind of lakefront living.
The home includes several important updates and improvements, including high-efficiency vinyl windows, limewashed exterior, updated kitchen, LVP flooring, updated lighting, plantation shutters in the dining room, updated owner’s bath quartz countertop, upstairs HVAC, LeafFilter gutter guards, ADT security system with remote access and cameras, and a roof that was serviced and treated by Roof Maxx in 2026.
These updates add comfort, function, and peace of mind while keeping the home’s custom character intact.
Mallard Cove offers a quiet lakefront setting with the convenience Rowlett buyers appreciate. You’re close to I-30, minutes from George Bush, and within easy reach of shopping, dining, entertainment, and daily essentials.
It’s a peaceful place to come home to without giving up access to the rest of the Metroplex.
3422 Mallard Park is more than a lakefront home—it’s a rare chance to own a custom property in one of Rowlett’s most tucked-away waterfront communities. With classic curb appeal, updated interiors, flexible living space, lake views from multiple rooms, a covered patio, mature trees, and direct access to the water, this home offers a lifestyle that is relaxed, memorable, and hard to find.
More photos, survey, floor plan, and documents are available. Schedule your private showing today and experience the lakefront setting in person.
