East Dallas Charmer Perfectly Priced for First-Time Buyers

Share News:

East DallasIt’s not often you find an East Dallas home with four bedrooms and two baths for less than $250,000, which is why Lauri Ann Hanson with Dave-Perry Miller InTown knew to alert us that she had what she calls “a unicorn.”

And that unicorn, which is located on 11336 Quail Run St., was a perfect candidate for this week’s Tuesday Two Hundred, priced perfectly for a first-time buyer or an investor.

“Not only is this Highland Meadows cutie packed with charm and all the curb appeal, but it’s difficult to find four-bed, two-bath within the bubble for just $249,900!” Hanson said.

The flexible floor plan could easily be all living room, but you place a dining room table in front of the French doors that lead into the kitchen and suddenly you have formal dining space, too.

Throughout the home, there are loads of adorable touches that make this house a home — gorgeous hardwood floors, beautiful moldings, beadboard, and a dramatic brick fireplace surrounded by built-in cabinets.

The galley style kitchen has plenty of counter space for family holiday baking, and is eat-in — with plenty of room for a family-sized table.

The master bedroom has plenty of room, and a crisp, clean and bright en-suite. The other three bedrooms are generously sized for guest space, kid space, or even office space. The main bathroom has also gotten a complete refresh.

“French doors open to the sizeable backyard and covered porch,” Hanson said, adding that the home’s proximity to White Rock Lake trail and other East Dallas amenities make the home perfectly situated — but the icing on the cake is its easy access to I-635 (but not so close that highway noise becomes bothersome).

 

“This home is the perfect investment opportunity given the floor plan for renters, but it also screams first time home buyer dying to put down roots in east Dallas without the price tag of some of the more well-known hotspots,” Hanson said.
