Once a rural community on Dallas’ edge, this area has turned into a hot-and-happening hood, with plenty of restaurants and retail — and acclaimed Richardson ISD schools, to boot. Yes, this week we are taking you to Northwood Hills/Valley View, where suburban tree-lined streets and large lots make the houses here feel like home. The two we’ve locked eyes with are made for summer. Plus, they’re priced to sell, too. Each comes with generous interiors and oasis-style pools but with price points that are miles apart.

Which would you choose the Midcentury Modern splurge or the Renovated Contemporary steal? Take your pick and let us know in the comments.

Splurge: Midcentury Modern Estate Near Northwood Country Club for $650K

 

Made you look! And this backyard oasis is only the beginning. The four-bedroom, four-full-bathroom home affords striking curb appeal with Midcentury Modern flair and an interior that is ready to entertain.

 

We love the vaulted ceilings and walls of windows inviting the outdoors in. But what really makes it stand out are the gourmet custom kitchen, extraordinary tile work throughout, and the generous master suite with access to the secluded pool and spa.

 

 

 

 

What more could you want? Situated on a prime .26-acre lot next to Northwood Country Club is the icing on the cake.

Steal: Renovated Contemporary On Landscaped Lot With Pool For $455K

 

This beauty is back on the market and with a whole new look! The three-bedroom, three-full-bathroom contemporary has undergone a fabulous remodel with oversized windows and a focus on indoor-outdoor entertaining.

 

It sits on a landscaped 0.32-acre lot, and according to the listing it’s “on one of the prettiest cul-de-sacs in North Dallas!”

 

We love the floor-to-ceiling, dual-sided, custom fireplace, which adds ambiance to both the living and dining areas. A gourmet kitchen, butler’s pantry, wet bar, and a huge master with patio access highlight the interior.

 

 

Best of all, you have a ready-made oasis that’s perfect for grilling out and splashing around with family and friends. There’s even a putting green y’all! Don’t let this one slip away.
