Tuesday Two Hundred: Walk to White Rock, Dallas Arboretum, and Sanger Elementary

This home at 8622 Diceman is new to the market, and was actually built in 1997, unlike so many of it’s neighbors in Little Forest Hills. Newer as it is, she still retains a lot of charm and appeal and blends right into the quirky cottages that comprise LFH.

You get 1452 square feet, plenty for a starter home, two bedrooms and two baths. A two-car garage behind the home has been converted into an office, game-room or playroom. Or, I guess, you could convert it back into a Dream Garage. The kitchen has some updates including a new sink, backsplash, and butcher block counters. Now that right there says so much about this neighborhood: in a world where everyone is putting granite and marble in craft rooms, even fabricating it for their cats, this home listens to the drumming beat of Little Forest Hills and goes for butcher block.

I don’t think I’ve written those words since 1982.

Of course, you are walking distance to White Rock Lake and the Arboretum! The  lot is less than .25 of an acre, and the backyard has a huge wood deck that just cries “P-A-R-T-Y!” Just listed on March 27 with Cindy O’Gorman of Ebby Halliday for $275,000. I am looking at these photos, and do wonder why they did not remove the handbag from the washer. The laundry area appears to be some sort of unloading zone — double duty! Really, this is a very different property for Cindy to market. Usually, Cindy handles the mega monsters of North Dallas and Plano but hey, a Little Forest Hills elf can be a whole lot of fun once every five hundred years…
