Grab A Piece of Pleasantville Over In Merriman Park

Just look at that nice clean roofline. So crisp and clean and flat. Ranch style. Midcentury. All the words.

Nice landscaping. CURB APPEAL. Hooray. And that super green grass? That’s actually artificial so low maintenance and lower water bills, too. Probably. I haven’t ACTUALLY seen the water bills. 

Big, mature trees out front and all throughout this neighborhood. 

It’s Merriman Park, the original. The one in between Northwest Highway and Skillman. With easy access to two Targets. TWO. And one of these days, Alamo Drafthouse, too.

A Diamond Ready to Mine

The inside of the house is a statement. One that’s rag-rolled and green. It’s been updated, though it’s been a minute and even if it’s not your exact style, there’s a lot of really great charm and character to work with. Now you’re saying, “Well, this isn’t called ‘Candy’s What Could Be,’ it’s ‘Candy’s Dirt.'”

The Dirt here: This is a well-priced home in a fabulous neighborhood.

There’s a trail that can take you all the way to Mockingbird Station one way and clear to White Rock Lake the other way. There’s a cut-through in between two houses on Walling that drops you right on the trail if you don’t want to peddle your recumbent bike parallel to Northwest Highway. 

A Neighborhood Par Excellence

And yes, I know a lot about this area. I used to live there and miss it dearly. It’s an old school neighborhood where you get to know the people next door. They even bring you food when you have babies and are too tired to even operate the microwave.

It’s a wonderful walkable area where someone’s always out with a golden retriever. A place where you’ll pat their head and be on your way with a local Gazette tucked under your arm, whistling an upbeat tune and probably wearing something tweed.

As for the house itself. Imagine the possibilities. JUST IMAGINE. It’s a two-bedroom, two-bathroom with one living, two dining and 1,609 square feet … 

WAIT A DARN SECOND, two bedrooms? Yep. That’s because the primary bedroom is the mother of all primaries. It’s a full bedroom plus a generous separated-by-a-wall office. You could also make it an itty bitty baby room or a REAL fancy vanity room for getting ready for your finest Zoom happy hours.

If you’d like to live in Pleasantville, grab your neutral palette and give Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s Eileen Thomas a call. She has 6840 Whitehill Drive listed for $364,900.
