Those With Traditional Tastes Will Love This West Plano Listing From Ed Murchison

You may know Ed Murchison as one of our go-to resources on Midcentury Modern homes, but this West Plano listing from the Coldwell Banker Realtor is one you shouldn’t pass up.

Located inside West Plano’s popular Ports O’Call neighborhood, this week’s Highlight Home of The Week sponsored by Senior Loan Officer Lisa Peters of First Horizon is a great house with traditional style, cozy character, and a fantastic location.

A Fabulous Find in West Plano

“The neighborhood features lots of mature trees creating a lush green atmosphere and makes the area quiet and private,” Murchison said of the established neighborhood. “The Ports O’Call neighborhood was developed during the late ’70s when Plano was booming.” 

This one-story ranch was built in 1976 and has a floor plan that reflects a lot of the trends of the era, including well-separated spaces that include formal rooms and a large kitchen and breakfast area. There are three bedrooms, two baths, a two-car garage, and 2,339 square feet on a little less than a quarter acre. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s an adorable white picket fence in the backyard.

“This well-maintained home features spacious well-proportioned rooms throughout,” Murchison said. “In addition to the large family room, there is a separate flex space with a wet bar that could be used in a variety of ways.  It would be a perfect kids’ playroom, home office, TV lounge, or home gym. This room is flooded with natural light and offers views of the covered patio and backyard.”

Murchison is an especially big fan of the family room, which has a cozy brick wall with fireplace, raised ceiling with wood beams, built-ins, and painted picture-frame molding on the walls.

Great Location, Great Price

Of course, finding a home in West Plano is hard enough as it is, but finding one inside your budget is a doubly difficult task, Murchison said.

“Finding nice homes in the $400’s with a convenient location like this home offers are getting harder to find,” he said. “This neighborhood is drawing more and more younger buyers attracted to the location. Also, Harrington Elementary is located right in the neighborhood offering the opportunity for families to walk their children to school.”
