Head to Hampton Hills Addition For This Lovely New Listing From Robert Kucharski

When you’re buying a home, you’re not just spending money on a house. Buying a home also means that you’re buying into a neighborhood. And when you’re buying into a neighborhood, it’s a good idea to get to know just what (and who) you’re investing in. A good Realtor will tell you to get to know an area before you decide to purchase a home there, and if you were interested in buying a house in the Hampton Hills Addition, last week was the time to get to know the neighborhood.

Robert Kucharski of David Griffin & Company just listed a home on S. Montreal Ave. in the Hampton Hills Addition, which he calls one of the most cohesive neighborhoods.

“Last week, a wonderful block party was held in Montreal, complete with a bounce house and a potluck lunch,” Kucharski said. There’s nothing like a bounce house to find out how well you’d mesh with your neighbors.

And while that’s definitely one reason to consider the Hampton Hills Addition, Kucharski’s new listing is another. That’s why it’s our Highlight Home of The Week sponsored by Senior Loan Officer Lisa Peters of First Horizon. 

Hampton Hills Addition: Oak Cliff’s Ideal Home Place

Kucharski says that the Hampton Hills Addition has a wonderful diversity of architecture and style. The neighborhood, originally marketed 100 years ago as “Oak Cliff’s Ideal Home Place,” is one of the rare areas where you can still find some great homes that won’t break the bank. Kucharski’s new listing at 1602 S. Montreal is a prime example.

“The home has a very welcoming front porch complete with a swing,” Kucharski notes. “Inside, the fresh neutral paint color can be found throughout the home, and an abundance of light fills the rooms from the many French paned windows. A cozy breakfast room and updated kitchen overlooks the oversized backyard.”

The home has two bedrooms, one bathroom, and 1,230 square feet. It was built in 1947 but feels fun and fresh for today’s tastes. Plus, it’s relatively affordable for the area and has a location that’s perfect for those wanting to live close to transit and shopping.

“This home is move-in ready and priced under $400,000,” Kucharski said. “Its proximity to the DART rail allows one to easily walk to the train and commute all over town.”

We love the light fixtures, hardwood floors, and fun wallpaper in the nursery. The huge backyard with a detached garage and fenced garden is a boon for a green thumb looking for a blank slate. Naturally, with such a cute home in a great neighborhood, it’s hard to imagine why you’d want to leave at all. But we have an inkling why the sellers have made the choice to move.

“The present owner purchased the property when they were first married and, since then, have had twin baby girls,” Kucharski said.

While we’re certain that the sellers will find the right home for their family, this could be your opportunity to move into Hampton Hills for a great deal.
