Friday Five Hundred: Gorgeous State Thomas Condo Feels Like a Nest in The City

You don’t have to head for the ‘burbs if you want to spread out. That’s what this gorgeous condo in State Thomas — a wonderful Uptown enclave — will make you see. It’s cozy and bright and spacious without sparing the luxury finishes you’d expect in this area.

Marketed by Dave Perry-Miller agent Steven Beard, this gorgeous 2,538-square-foot condo in the Thomas Court development is just perfect for someone who wants a city lifestyle — close to arts and culture, transit and transportation — without sacrificing space and privacy. It’s listed for $589,000, a good deal for a two-bedroom, two full and two half-bath property with two living areas in one of the most highly sought after areas in Uptown.

What makes 2853 Thomas Ave. better than great is its location. Just north of Woodall Rogers Freeway and within walking distance of Klyde Warren Park and the Dallas Arts District, and don’t forget about the legendary shopping and restaurants just steps away. It’s an area that has adorable historic homes, too, including some absolutely killer Victorians and Craftsman homes that have sparked more than just a few bidding wars. Still, if it seems like apartment and condo developments are popping up overnight like mushrooms, it’s because they are. According to Steve Brown, Uptown leads the entire North Texas region in construction starts. There are 10 developments on their way to completion and 9 more planned Brown said in this brief.

So maybe now is a good time to get the home of your dreams, and folks, this one could be it! The kitchen in this unit is just amazing, too, with brand-new Kitchen-Aid appliances and a huge countertop that will give the lucky home chef plenty of prep space. The cabinets are understated, and the lighting is warm and homey. There’s also a built-in desk — perfect for taking notes, paying bills, or charging phones.

If you’re not in love yet, check out the master suite. Besides having a fireplace (how romantic!) it has tall ceilings and huge windows that make this room feel like a retreat you’d more likely find in a luxury hotel. The master bath has a huge wet area with a shower and a tub that will comfortably fit two, if you know what I mean …

The community has a great pool, spa, and grill, too, so it isn’t lacking in amenities but if you could do without the maintenance of a home in the ‘burbs, this is the perfect urban property for you!
