Tuesday Two Hundred: Two Bedrooms, Two Baths Kicking It Up on Kirkwood. Affordable Dallas Real Estate

Share News:

Get out the smelling salts! This puppy at 635 Kirkwood has been reduced from $249,900 to $199,900 — that’s almost $50,000 big ones chopped right off the block. Actually, it IS $50,000 big ones off. This house may be under contract by the time I hit “publish”. You cannot get cuter, and again, more proof that Dallas has some wonderfully affordable homes. Problem is, people keep buying them up and our real estate inventory really is shrinking!

Here are the vitals: 1834 square feet, two bedrooms, two baths, 71 by 123 square foot lot on a treed corner, which is an appraisal plus! Very open floor plan with huge master and second bedroom; baths are charmingly authentic to the circa 1960’s tile that was usually mudded in, and therefore quite sturdy. Of course you get pier & beam, hardwoods, granite countertops, built-in cabinets, and a two car garage in Lake Highlands a walk or bike ride away from White Rock Lake. LOVE that living room!

    Gorgeous! That is such a pretty neighborhood, too! I lived near Lake Highlands and Peavy for a bit during law school.

    Candy, not your fault because the realtor's listing was misleading as well but this is OLD Lake Highlands. All one has to do it look at the schools, if DISD and near the lake then either Lakewood or OLD Lake Highlands. Traditional Lake Highlands, with the RISD schools, starts north of Northwest Hwy (as a general rule).

    LH Resident: Thanks so much, I appreciate. I LOVE Lake Highlands but confess to not knowing it as well as I do, say, North Dallas. Please read often and keep me on the right track!
