Just eight miles from downtown Dallas and a few minutes from Bishop Arts, a newly listed Kiestwood property impresses with its warm, spacious interior, potential for acreage, and great location in an established neighborhood. 

The house at 3224 S. Ravinia Dr. sits on just over a quarter acre and the property backs to additional 1.75 acres that’s also for sale. It’s walking distance to Oak Cliff Nature Preserve and Kiest Park, so outdoor life is a big part of this property, too, which has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living areas, and 2,688 square feet on two stories, built in 1962.

Dallas on Ice: The Ice Storm is Not So Bad if you Are Wanting a New Garage…

Brooks-tree-e1386610037520This in Kiest Park. Just caught this on Roy Appleton’s blog:

A loud noise reminiscent of a car wreck awoke Judy and Charlie Brooks about 4 a.m. Friday. Checking around, they were shocked to see their mighty red oak tree — perhaps uprooted by the weight of ice — had crashed into their backyard garage.

Judy and Charlie live on Perryton Drive across from Kiest Park. They are leaders of the Kiest Park Community Group and have been leading an effort to restore two groves of trees there.

They also participated in the recent city-sponsored planting of 150 trees in the park.

“Guess the Arbor Day plantings at Kiest Park offset our loss of a tree,” Judy wrote in an email this morning. A few of the new trees are still leaning over, she wrote, offering “hope they might recover.”

Talk about life’s give and take. Talk about optimism.
