Greenland Hills Tudor is a Picture-Perfect Family Home

Is this home not the most classic thing you’ve ever seen? The high pitch of the roof, the arched red-stained door, and the beautiful stone exterior is just full of character. It’s a real delight to look at.

Additionally, this Greenland Hills listing from David Griffin Realtor Robert Kucharski is inside one of Dallas ISD’s highest performing elementary attendance areas and one of the most sought-after feeder patterns. Buy this home and you’ll never need to send your kids to private school with campuses such as Stonewall Jackson Elementary and Woodrow Wilson High School nearby. This, plus the beautiful interiors, are all factors in making it a High-Caliber Home of the Week.

Truly, a home like this doesn’t last long in our market, so you want to be sure you’ve got all your ducks in a row when it comes to financing. Be sure to call Lisa Peters at Caliber Home Loans so you and your family will sail through closing.

Situated on a practically arboreal street in one of the most sought-after areas of East Dallas, 5619 Merrimac is just oozing charm. While the exterior is totally traditional Tudor, the interiors have been updated for a modern family. There are three bedrooms, two full and one half bath, two living areas and two dining areas, an updated kitchen and 2,868 square feet. Kucharski has this dreamboat of a home listed for $795,000.

I love the hardwood floors, moldings, and archways inside this lovely house, which was built in 1926. The shutters and chandeliers are perfect for the space, as is the more modern furniture, which is a wonderful foil to the home’s natural curves.

The kitchen is perfectly situated to be the heart of the home, with gorgeous pendant lights giving a warm glow to the space. The glass-front cabinets and Corian counters add to the sleek feel, and the stainless steel appliances (including a built-in wine refrigerator) make this space perfect for the experienced home chef. It opens to a spacious den that has views of the backyard oasis through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The polished concrete floors add an even more modern vibe to the renovated space.

The master suite has a modern farmhouse feel, with vaulted ceilings, a sleek fireplace, and even more floor-to-ceiling glass, giving you clear views of the pool. That has to be a wonderful backyard panorama at night. Talk about romantic. The master bath is all about color and texture, with an enormous copper-finished soaking tub, slate tile on the walls, and an open shower. It’s very, very sexy.

Outside you have a large patio and pool, as well as what could be considered one of the cutest detached garages I’ve ever seen. I absolutely love this home and its charming landscape, as well as the modern amenities you can appreciate indoors.
