A Low-Maintenance Beauty at the Crossroads of Convenience Near Downtown

This week’s Inwood Home of the Week, sponsored by Inwood National Bank, threads the needle of manageable square footage and fantastic location at a moderate price. Built just two years ago, 5128 Brickelia Drive features a clever layout that’s perfect for a young professional, a new family, or even just someone who’s planning to take on roommates or frequent overnight guests.

The two-story home, totally detached, features two bedrooms on the ground floor with their own full bathroom. The primary bedroom is upstairs, along with living and dining areas and the kitchen. There’s even a pocket backyard for cookouts.

“It’s such a convenient size, around 1,600 square feet. That makes it cozy and manageable, but still so roomy between the two floors — and full of light,” says listing agent Mohammed Jaber of Compass RE Texas, pointing out the abundant windows.

The home’s interior is simple clean lines with some pops: the throwback black and white bathroom tile downstairs, for example, and a wallpapered accent wall in the kitchen, with stylish light fixtures added throughout the house. The flow of spacing between the kitchen with island, the dining area, and the den are just right.

The kitchen has a stainless steel finish out with quartz countertops and a large island for noshing casual meals with friends or having breakfast in the stillness of morning.

The primary bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, with separate rain shower and soaking tub. There’s an enormous walk-in closet to go with the bathroom’s abundant cabinet space.

“This is a place for someone who values simple living.” says Jaber. “It’s a wonderful, accessible location with a mere $100 HOA.”

The neighborhood of Oak Park brings walking-distance amenities like Whole Foods, the restaurants and nightlife of Lemmon Avenue, and, not least, Whataburger (don’t act like that doesn’t make a big difference). The Dallas North Tollroad and I-35 are easily reachable for commuters.

A good fit for a new family or a young professional, this is a home that’s pret a porter.

5128 Brickelia is listed for $475,000 by Mohammed Jaber of Compass RE Texas.
