9229 Ferndale Front

Cute and sweet from the curb, this 1958 traditional ranch packs quite a punch once you walk inside. Truly, this is one of those homes where you take notes on the remodeled spaces, as the sellers have really made the most of every square inch of this beautiful Lake Ridge Estates house.

Not only that, but it’s on one of the best streets in the neighborhood — Ferndale Road — and is inside Richardson ISD. Jump for more on this adorable home from Nathan Grace agent Amy Timmerman of PickaPerch.com.

This home, with four bedrooms — two of which are master suites — and more than 2,500 square feet, feels much larger than it seems from the curb. That’s thanks to a second story addition in the back, which frees up more room for family gatherings. I love this listing at 9229 Ferndale Road from Amy Timmerman, not only because of the gorgeous neighborhood an schools, but because of the price: $285,000. That’s a great value for a family home!

This home has it all: a formal dining room to host special dinners, a living room with a stone-clad fireplace just off the kitchen, and two master suites. TWO!

The living room is the perfect mix of rustic and sophisticated. Also, that rug! I have to have it! All of the eclectic decor — linen couch and tufted armchair, spindle-leg  coffee table, and the old rocker are just so different but perfect together. With the light coming in from the patio door, it just feels open and warm, doesn’t it?

The dark-stained cabinets, tumbled-stone backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and eat-in island make this home just right for a family who gathers in the kitchen. And thanks to the improved layout that connects it to the family room, you can serve a game-day buffet on the island for easy entertaining. Recessed lighting, paired with pendant lights, keep this space feeling bright and large. The oversized floor tile helps with scale, too.

There are two master suites, one upstairs and one downstairs. The downstairs one, which would be a great guest suite or a mother-in-law room, has a separate vanity and shower/tub combo. The Upstairs master has a separate shower stall and jetted tub, and fantastic separate vanities. I’d prefer the upstairs for sure, but you can choose, which is the beauty of the floorplan.

One of the bonuses in this home is the laundry/utility room, which has a great area for storing craft supplies! No more hot glue on the kitchen counters! I know a lot of parents who would absolutely adore a space like this as sort of a mess containment area.

Outside there is a patch of a lawn and a concrete patio. Some furniture and a grill, and maybe even a sunshade or some cool lights and this could be another great area to host a crowd.
