Just Reduced White Rock Village Home Offers Updated Style Close to the Lake

If you’ve been priced out of East Dallas neighborhoods like Little Forest Hills and Lakewood, cast your gaze southeast to White Rock Village. 

Like nearby Buckner Terrace, this is an appreciating neighborhood minutes from White Rock Lake, close to Interstate 30, with a lot of houses being flipped. 

The house at 8506 Londonderry Ln., near John West Road and North Buckner Boulevard in White Rock Village, is a 1977 traditional turned into a more modern retreat with recent renovations. It now offers an open floorplan, vaulted ceiling, and a fresh look. This home has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two dining areas, and 2,681 square feet on two stories. 

It started at $315K, reduced a couple of times to its current asking price of $299,999, just under to wire to qualify for our Tuesday Two Hundred. 

A tidy and clean curb appeal with new shutters, new front door, and new landscaping appeal, as does that lovely mature tree. 

The overall look and feel of this reno is bright and open inside — the light-colored laminate floors look like the real deal and add a contemporary element that helps with this effect, as does the vaulted, beamed ceiling. The cut stone-wrapped fireplace, which anchors the living room and stands floor to ceiling, is a statement piece.

Step up into the dining room and its large pass-through window/breakfast bar to the eat-in kitchen. This space is a total renovation with lots of white cabinetry, tumbled stone backsplash, granite countertops, large-format tile treatment, and stainless steel appliances, including a floating vent hood. Nearby is a full-size utility room. 

The good-sized master suite and two additional bedrooms are on the first floor and laminate floors extend into those rooms. The upstairs, which appears to be an addition, has a room that could be utilized as a game room or media room.

In back, there is lots of grassy green space, a privacy fence, and small patio.
