Thursday Three Hundred: Recently Reduced Lake Highlands Traditional Has Updates You Want at a Bargain Price!
Share News:
There are tons of updated traditionals in Lake Highlands, some of them are 1950s ranches that have seen a mix of hodge-podge renovations over the decades.
It’s a hot neighborhood, mostly because it’s inside the Dallas city limits but has Richardson ISD schools. Therefore, buyers are looking for family homes that are move-in ready, won’t need anything more than a paint job here and there, and are easy to maintain.
I think 9451 Viewside hits all of those points, and at a just reduced $365,000, it’s a pretty good deal for an almost-3,000-square-foot home. This house is totally traditional, with chandeliers and wood paneling, dark paint on the walls, and some interesting faux finishes on the kitchen cabinets. Of course, these finish selections make the house look a lot smaller than the three-bedroom, three-bath home actually is.
There are stainless appliances in the kitchen, which features a commercial gas cooktop and three ovens. While there isn’t an island, there’s definitely room for one. I’d recommend putting one in when you reface the cabinets. That is, if you’re up to the job.
The master suite is decent-sized, with a tray ceiling and moulding. The master bath is fresh and sleek, and has French doors that access the backyard and pool area. It’s the gigantic closet in the master suite that will have you swooning, though. There’s room enough to share with your spouse if you’re feeling generous!
The pool, which is just off the covered patio, has a spa and a modest garden surrounding it. Of course, the lots are a tidge small in Lake Highlands, but there are a lot of great family homes and excellent schools.
That master suite is sweet! So much storage in the bathroom and the closet. This would be a great home to simply move in and enjoy.

So pretty!
But needs a good paint job, no?

The master bedroom definitely needs some paint, and while the crews are there, I'd probably replace the moulding with something less busy.
Sure is a lot of panelling. While I like hanging out in the occasional wood-panelled study-type establishment with leather armchairs and a blazing hearth, I don't know if I want to live in such heaviness. Jeff would, of course.
I kind of like it when folks paint paneling. Maybe an ecru shade?

Not to be picky but I would clean leaves out of the pool before a photo shoot…
