5 Dallas Open Houses Not to Miss

If the State Fair is not your thing this weekend, make time to visit these five open houses around Dallas. They represent diverse neighborhoods, from Uptown and East Kessler Park, to Northwest Dallas and Turtle Creek. The prices range from the $289,000 to $749,500, and the styles of these houses and condos run the gamut from modern industrial in Uptown to a 2012 David Weekley in Far North Dallas that still has the new-house smell.

RESTORED, UPDATED EAST KESSLER TUDOR WITH OVER 2,500 SQUARE FEET

The East Kessler Park Tudor at 416 Allison Dr., near Colorado and Beckley, is a beauty. It was built in 1938 and owners have restored and renovated the 3-2. It now has 2,529 square feet on two stories, and tons of updates. The home has beautiful hardwoods, lots of built-ins, crown molding, and floor-to-ceiling paned windows. The kitchen features custom Shaker-style maple cabinets, granite countertops, a glass subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. The downstairs bathroom has custom red oak millwork and new subway tile. The master bath has Italian limestone, a Jacuzzi tub, and a frameless glass shower. Outdoors, you’ll find a big deck and professional landscaping.

It is listed by Greg Braden with Greg Braden Properties, LCC, for $545,000, a $45K reduction from the original list price.

 

HUGE UPTOWN LOFT WITH 20-FOOT CEILINGS, DOWNTOWN VIEWS FROM BALCONY

OPEN HOUSE: Sunday, Oct. 11, 1-3 p.m.

The Uptown loft at 1999 McKinney Ave. Apt 603, is huge by area standards, at 2,538 square feet with two bedrooms and two bathrooms on two stories.

In fact, you get great views of downtown from the large balcony.

This property impresses with 20-foot ceilings; two-story windows; exposed concrete, brick, and ductwork for an industrial feel; and an open floorplan. The kitchen has a center island, granite counters, and stainless steel appliances. A private master suite has its own sitting area, custom California closet, and travertine bath.

This property was listed nine days ago by Laura Michelle with Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate for $749,500.

It’s been updated with an open floorplan, bonus room, dark stained cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances.

TURTLE CREEK CONDO WITH CUSTOM FINISH-OUT, $7K IN DESIGNER CLOSETS

OPEN HOUSE: Saturday, Oct. 10, 11 a.m. – 4 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 11, 1-4 p.m.

The condo at 8616 Turtle Creek Dr., Apt. 316, near Northwest Highway and Hillcrest, has so many great features, like two patios, two HVAC systems, two parking spaces next to the lobby entrance, and two double-sided fireplaces. Additionally, you’ll find exotic tiger wood floors, $7K in designer built-in closets, a laundry room with like-new washer and dryer, and window treatments that are included in the sale.

 

This condo in the Sorrento has 1,949 square feet and is listed as having two bedrooms, but the current owners are using some of the space as a third, so that’s an option, as well. There are also two full bathrooms and a powder room. It is listed by Jeff Updike & Weston Pugh with Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate for $499,900, a $15,100 reduction from the original list price.

 

DAVID WEEKLEY IN GATED FAR NORTH DALLAS COMMUNITY, ALMOST NEW

OPEN HOUSE: Sunday, Oct. 11, 1-3 p.m.

The house at 18230 Brighton Grn. still has that new-house smell, built in 2012 by David Weekley. It’s located near Frankford and Hillcrest in the gated Windsor Crest neighborhood, and has three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a half bath, and 2,733 square feet on two stories. There’s virtually no yard to care for (and maintenance is included in the HOA fees), so this is a low-work property—but nice views of the wooded creek in backyard.

The first-floor floorplan is open, with the kitchen near the entrance with white cabinets, granite counters, and stainless steel appliances. The ceilings are tall and there are hardwood floors on the first floor. The master is downstairs, and two bedrooms and a gameroom upstairs, as well as lots of storage and closets.

This house is listed by Sandra Breedlove with Ebby Halliday, Realtors, for $488,500.
