Share News:

If you and your mom are as seriously real-estate obsessed as we are, then what better way to spend Mother’s Day weekend than to appreciate what’s on the market? 

We’ve found three fabulous properties to features in this week’s CandysDirt.com Open Houses of the Week. They range in price from $575,000 to $1.195 million and range greatly in style. Which ones will you see in person? 

 

Open house: Saturday, May 12, 12-5 p.m., and Sunday, May 13, 12-4 p.m. 

The home at 9919 Avalon Creek Ct. sits on a cul-de-sac in Preston Hollow and has a Frank Lloyd Wright-esque look that appeals, with five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, one half bath, three living areas, two dining areas, and 6,638 square feet on two stories, built in 2002, located near Walnut Hill Lane and the Dallas North Tollway. 

Oversized double doors open to a double-height entryway, and the house has a feel of spaciousness throughout. One living area near the front has coffered ceilings with rich wood beams, anchored by a fireplace with an oversized stone surround as well as a wet bar and built-ins. The formal dining room, pictured at the top of this post, has incredible ceiling detail. The high-end kitchen offers granite countertops, island, rich wood Shaker-style cabinets, and professional-grade stainless steel appliances, including a warming drawer and gas cooktop. Other house features include a game room, bonus room, three indoor wet bars, sport court, swimming pool with grotto, hot tub, and waterfalls. 

This home was listed Feb. 18 by Nafisa Dharamsi with Fathom Realty for $1.195 million.

 

WINNETKA HEIGHTS CRAFTSMAN WITH HISTORIC CHARMS, REDUCED $60K

Open house: Sunday, May 13, 2-4 p.m. 

We love the 1930 Winnetka Heights Craftsman house at 101 S. Winnetka Ave., full of era-appropriate updates that don’t detract from its historic charms. It has five bedrooms, three bathrooms, three living areas, two dining areas, and 3,416 square feet on two stories, located near West Jefferson Boulevard and South Polk Street. 

A wide, welcoming front porch and second-level balcony welcome and create a lovely feel. The first floor features custom stain glass, formal dining, formal parlor, foyer, living room, and large kitchen. The second floor has been redone with hall access to bedrooms, a shared bathroom with a claw foot tub, and a master suite with a full seating area, walk-in closet, and dressing area. Mature landscaping in backyard is just blooming and perfect for entertaining. This home is move-in ready and foundation repair and other items off the inspection report have been competed.

This home was listed Feb. 15 by Jodie Boutilier with Magnolia Realty for $559K, reduced to $499,000.

 

M STREETS HOME WITH LOVELY SUNROOM, TONS OF WINDOWS

Open house: Sunday, May 13, 2-4 p.m. 

The Greenland Hills/M-Streets home at 5543 Merrimac Ave. is lovely, updated tastefully and full of big windows that keep the interior light and bright. This home has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living areas, and 1,836 square feet on one story, built in 1929 and located near E. Mockingbird Lane and Greenville Avenue. Bonus for families: this home is zoned for the highly rated Stonewall Jackson Elementary. 

Beautiful curb appeal highlights mature landscaping and those windows. Inside, find refinished hardwood floors, crown molding, recessed lights, and plantation shutters. Adjacent to the front living room, which offers a gas fireplace, there is a large sunroom that would make a perfect office or play room. The eat-in kitchen features white Shaker-style cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range. The big master bedroom also has a fireplace and access to the backyard and deck, as well as two closets and enough room for sitting area. Its ensuite bathroom has double sinks and walk-in shower. In back, find a wood deck, mature landscaping, and a privacy fence. 

This home was listed May 8 by Maureen Jackson with Ebby Halliday Realtors Lakewood for $575,000.
