Amazing Home Zoned for Kramer — With a Super Easy Walk to School

This week’s School + House could not be an easier choice — not only is the home zoned for Dallas ISD’s incredible Kramer Elementary and the phenomenal Hillcrest High feeder pattern, but it’s also right across the street from school.

Seriously, you can open the door, stand there with your cup of coffee, and watch your kids cross the street to school. That’s right, we are showing you carpool lane-free life until middle school.

This home at 7124 Midbury Drive is zoned for Kramer Elementary, which was the first elementary International Baccalaureate school in Dallas ISD, and has won numerous awards for its academic successes as well as its efforts to engage students and parents. It also has a wonderful learning garden. It’s also zoned for Ben Franklin Middle School and Hillcrest High, which are both International Baccalaureate schools.

And in addition to being perfectly situated, this three-bedroom, two bath home in Eudora Estates has 2,444 square feet of living space and sits on an oversized lot full of mature trees and beautiful landscaping — plus a nice big backyard with an expansive covered porch and patio.

Built in 1958, this Midcentury Traditional is full of natural light and designer paint choices, with beautiful hand-scraped solid hardwood floors, gorgeous crown molding, and plantation shutters.

The open kitchen and breakfast nook has granite countertops, double ovens, and stainless steel appliances.

In addition to formal living and dining rooms in the front, a second living area to the rear of the home has custom built-ins, exposed beams, a stone fireplace, and a wall of French doors that open to the porch.

Practicalities have also been addressed, with Low E windows, a new roof in 2012, new French drains in 2010, and updated electrical work.

A large master suite features a master bath with dual vanity, separate tub and shower, and an additional walk-in closet.

The home is priced at $699,900 and is listed by Darlene Harrison with Coldwell Banker Residential-Lakewood/NE Dallas. Want to check it out in person? There’s an open house Sunday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
