For those of us in real estate, our brains never really take a break from thinking about homes. And people. And finding people homes. As life returns to “normal” after the holidays, just know that while you were lounging in your jammies for 7 days straight (except for that time you ventured out to get toilet paper and coffee), the folks at Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate were busy, busy, busy, prepping these homes to hit the market as soon as December gave way to January.
Those of you who resolved to find a new home this year, get ready! It’s only the first weekend after New Years, and we’ve already got several Open Houses to show you. All under $1 million (you just have to know where to look). So put off taking down the lights and tree and making returns just a little longer, because you’re going to want to check these out. Some are today, so do not delay. No sense waiting for the spring market when the economic forecast is calling for sunny days with a chance of lower mortgage rates in 2024.
6810 E Northwest Highway
2 Bedrooms | 2.1 Baths | 2,339 Sq. Ft.
Saturday, 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
If you’re looking to get into East Dallas and test the waters (White Rock Lake is just a mile away as the crow flies), this is a good place to get started. And local experts The BAR Group are good people to get started with.
You have probably driven by your future home a million times, but perhaps didn’t realize the quiet Town North townhome community was on the other side of that unassuming brick wall. In addition to a prime location, you’ll get a lot of space here. A living room and office plus two nicely sized upstairs bedrooms. And let’s not forget the balconies and private patio. Lots of updates, too, for the perfect blend of style and comfort. If you have kids, you should know the Lakewood Elementary bus comes to the complex. So don’t put those horns and hats away – we feel a housewarming party coming on! Offered for $435,000.
4636 Warwood Lane
2 Bedrooms | 2.1 Baths | 1,449 Sq. Ft.
Saturday 2 to 4 p.m.
A brand new year calls for a brand new pad, right? The Ewers Realty Group has plenty of ‘em. These Cedar Branch townhomes are just minutes from Oak Lawn and the Medical District, and they are going quickly (40% sold). Sophisticated, but not pretentious, with features like high-end finishes, 12-foot ceilings, and an impressive gourmet kitchen with a Bosch stainless steel appliance package, quartz countertops, and stacked upper cabinetry.
Sustainable engineered hardwoods throughout add to the upscale feel, while the rooftop terrace is just the right space for kicking back and taking in the views. The 2-car tandem garage provides plenty of space for parking and additional storage. There is still time to make custom decisions and be sure you ask Brit or Zach about current incentives. Offered for $569,900.
827 Salmon Drive
2 Bedrooms | 1 Bath | 1,359 Sq. Ft.
Sunday, 2 to 4 p.m.
Just blocks from the Kidd Springs Park & Aquatic Center and the shops of TYPO, is this 1930 Kessler Park gem. That date makes it an actual Tudor and not a “Tudor” or Tudor-esque. But everything, from the home’s drive-up to the relaxing pool and separate guest suite with full bath, screams (softly so as not to startle) “2024”!
“Even though it will be a centenarian soon,” says listing agent Ged Dipprey, “you cannot tell for all the care that has been put into its upkeep. It definitely doesn’t show its age, and it has a youthful warmth and character.”
Spacious formals are graced by rich hardwoods. The dining room leads to a large kitchen featuring marble countertops and era-appropriate glass-laden cabinetry. The expansive ensuite primary (16-by-21 feet) has a sitting area and access to the covered patio with a cedar pergola. The perfect place to daily sit and ponder your good fortune in finding this one. Offered for $599,999.
3804 Vicksburg Court
4 Bedrooms | 3.1 Baths | 2,990 Sq. Ft.
Sunday, 2 to 4 p.m.
According to listing agent Phillip Tilger, this thoughtfully and beautifully updated home in Plano’s coveted Parkway Estates “has it ALL!” For starters, two huge living areas (one with 14-foot ceilings), tons of natural light, plus an office, and a gorgeous kitchen with a giant island, custom cabinets, Italian quartz countertops, a five-burner gas range, and that marvelous invention – soft-close drawers.
The downstairs primary overlooks the pool-sized backyard, and the bath features separate shower and jetted tub, two vanities, and two walk-in closets. Don’t miss the recently completed, outdoor kitchen/patio on the side of the house with Blaze grill, Blackstone griddle, and space to add your own smoker. It’s conveniently accessible from the front yard so neighbors can pop by with an adult beverage offering in the hopes you’ll invite them to stay! Offered for $675,000.
2711 Seabiscuit Road
4 Bedrooms | 4 Baths | 3,975 Sq, Ft.
Saturday, 1 to 3 p.m.
If you’ve been settled down for a long winter’s nap, you may not know that according to us, the Dallas Business Journal, and other reputable publications, Celina is the place to be. (As we reported earlier in 2023, this booming exurb is getting its own H-E-B – that’s big-time stuff.)
But we’re telling you right now, Taylor Dixon’s listing is the place to see – like today from 1 to 3 p.m. Tell your assistant to clear your schedule STAT.
This newly updated 2017 home is in the highly desirable Mustang Lakes community, which has stocked ponds, a gym, multiple outdoor pools and several playgrounds. Highlights include a custom office with designer built-ins, Restoration Hardware lighting throughout, all bedrooms on the main floor, a media room with custom lighting, surround sound, and power reclining chairs, and recent kitchen upgrades with luxury quartzite, custom backsplash, and hardware. It’s move-in ready, so let’s get your move on! Offered for $899,000.
