Country Living Deep in The Heart of Dallas?

What we have here is a big ball of what the what? But one that’s definitely worth exploring. It’s a 1,200-square-foot home set on 2.9 acres. There’s an elaborate chicken coop. And horses.

And it’s 15 minutes from downtown Dallas. 

WHAT THE WHAT? Now you’re getting it.

Century 21’s Maribel Ramos says “Welcome to Texas! Yeehaw…” and she straight-up calls out the fact that you can ride your horses on a little plot of land. 

She goes on to add that the “charming home was recently remodeled.” It has an open floorplan, stainless steel appliances, glass-front cabinets, and big ol’ modern showers. 

What I do think is lacking some serious emphasis in the write-up is the mega covered patio.

It has it all. Steel beams. A stagger-step roofline. It’s sleek. It’s REAL modern. There’s stonework e’eryhwere. There’s a fully functioning sink, a built-in grill, a marble-top bar, room for tables on tables, and bonus space for YET ANOTHER GRILL. AND A MINI-FRIDGE. Stock it with Squirt, Shasta, or White Claw, I guess, if you’re into that sort of thing.

You could host every gathering ever at this place and hire a live band, build a stage, and STILL have room for a full-size trampoline, assorted lawn equipment, and the aforementioned chickens and ponies. HOW DOES THIS PLACE NOT HAVE A POOL? I mean there’s room for MANY. In-ground and above ground. Why not have one of each?

The house is set a bit back from the road and has a swing gate. We’re talking legit “in the sticks” stuff. Gravel driveway leading up to a cute little brick house built in 1967. The landscaping is a-plenty and that’s another thing this working farm has going for it. All the greenery. And honestly, it’s one of the most well-manicured lawns I’ve ever seen. And that bad boy takes some effort. Because, again, huge. 

Ramos has 8731 Fireside Drive listed at $365,000. If you’d like to see more, click the address, knucklehead. You know how this works.
