A Walkable, Pet-Friendly, Affordable Lakewood Townhome?

You read that headline right! I know, it’s a unicorn, right? But it’s real, and we’re here to tell you about it!

Near the intersection of Garland and Gaston roads in East Dallas, you’ll find a hive of activity: restaurants, shops, a brewery, and a great Tom Thumb. Just south you’ll find the excellent neighborhood of Lakewood Hills, and the fantastic townhome that is this week’s Highlight Home of the Week sponsored by Senior Loan Officer Lisa Peters of First Horizon.

A Home Like No Other

This two-bedroom, two-full-bath Lakewood townhome stands out on a number of fronts, not the least of which is price. At 2,191 square feet and priced at just $475,000, you would be hard-pressed to find another comparably priced townhome or condo in Lakewood with similar features. It’s a corner unit in a small community of just 14 homes in an incredible location. Just down the road from White Rock Lake, unbeatable access to both the Santa Fe Trail and the White Rock Trail, and Lakewood Village just down Gaston.

As an end unit, another unique feature of this listing is that it has lots of green space that you don’t get with a lot of townhomes. This home has not only this front walk-up but also sprinklered back and side yards with a fish pond.

Imagine the Possibilities

The home is laid out over three floors. When you enter the first floor, there’s a lovely foyer that leads to the stairs as well as a hallway to the secondary bedroom and bath. I love that this bedroom has access to the backyard through that doorway. “This would be a great roommate scenario,” commented listing agent Rob Elmore with Dave Perry Miller Real Estate.

On the second floor, we have the main living space, which as you can see, Elmore has provided virtual staging to give an idea of what the space would look like with furniture. It’s a wide-open space with lots of natural light, and Elmore says it’s surrounded by trees so you get that natural UV protection plus a pretty view. With pretty hardwood floors and a unique grasscloth accent wall, this space is waiting for someone to make it their own.

The open kitchen with a bar top is perfect for entertaining or casual every day. It is outfitted with sleek countertops, a gas cooktop, an artful mosaic tile backsplash, and a spacious walk-in pantry.

The third floor is home to the impressive primary suite, which is really a cool setup. The sitting area off the bedroom is particularly special. Elmore says the current owners have used it as a home office, which I can imagine being a great workspace. There are two walk-in closets here, as well as a large en suite bath.

The backyard has this lovely deck and pergola, in addition to the aforementioned side yard. “This is a great place for pets,” said Elmore. “There’s a dog door, and the yards, and all the trails nearby.”

While there are a few places in this Lakewood townhome that are ready for updates, at this price, in this location, and with this much space, this townhome is a heck of a deal. “Someone could come into this home and, without spending a lot, turn it into something incredible,” said Elmore.

Dave Perry Miller agents Rob Elmore and Chase Alford have 7416 Coronado Avenue #1 listed for $475,000.
