Splurge: Stunning Clifford Hutsell Tudor On Mercedes Drive For $619K

Something’s stirring in Lower Greenville and it’s not just the little birdies and bunnies coming out to play. This spectacular Clifford Hutsell Tudor is bursting with springtime cheer! And it’s everything we want in a historic home on Mercedes Drive. Just in time for Easter, it offers an enchanting backyard oasis for the Easter egg hunt of your dreams.

The three-bedroom, two-full-bathroom stunner is all buttoned up in the front and party-ready in the back. Of course, we are gushing over its refined and welcoming exterior, featuring original Tudor touches like beautiful brick, arched shutters, and detailed stain-glass. All this, met by an arched green door that draws us in for more.

Inside, plenty of those classic Hutsell touches remain, including meringue stucco ceilings and an eclectic Rookwood tiled fireplace. Yet, it has plenty of updates for a whole new look and feel. Enjoy a crisp white kitchen adorned in custom cabinets, quartz, and stainless. But that breakfast room. Its built-in banquette is the star of the show!

A brand new master will give you the royal treatment. But for those looking for an outdoor oasis, this one is for you! Recent additions include a new deck, stone walkways, outside grilling kitchen, restored barn-style garage doors, and mature landscaping throughout. Plenty of nooks and crannies to hide your pretty pastel eggs! Plus, the fact you’ll be minutes from all things Lower Greenville doesn’t hurt one bit.

Steal: Craftsman-Style Newer Build Steps To Stevens Park Golf Course For $495K

With all the energy-efficiency of a new build, but with a nod to historic charms, this Craftsman-inspired home in Oak Cliff is ideal for your Easter soiree! The four-bedroom, three-full-bathroom home comes privately fenced with curb appeal for days.

Sure, there aren’t as many trees or pathways in the back lawn just yet. But that means it’s a secluded blank canvas, ready to make your own. We love that the home is tucked away on a quiet street.

Even better? It offers a prime location, mere steps to North Oak Cliff’s Bishop Arts District! And you know we adore that bright turquoise front door! It’s paired with a darling front porch for greeting all your Easter friends, outfitted in their Sunday best.

Inside, an easy breezy floor plan awaits when it’s time to entertain. This includes a large open kitchen overlooking the gracious dining and living areas making it easy for the host to be part of the action. Polished concrete floors wear well and are easy to maintain no matter how many guests slosh their mimosas.

With a vaulted master showcasing peaceful treetop views, this Kings Highway retreat is welcoming and ready for a buyer like you.
