Coppell was once a tiny farming village settled by French and German immigrants. The transformation to a sought-after upper-middle-class family suburb was spurred by the Dallas Fort Worth Airport opening in 1974. By the 1980s, Coppell was one of the hotspots of the Metroplex. The 2010 census put the population at 38,659. Although the size has grown, Coppell still has that lovely small-town atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.
“Coppell is a true bedroom community, RE/MAX DFW Associates Realtors Kathy Croft said. “Some people describe it as Mayberry!”
Because Coppell is so popular, finding a house can be a challenge, but Croft has just listed the perfect custom home, and it’s in the destination neighborhood of Prestwick. By destination, I mean there is one way in and one way out. That means privacy is paramount. No one is coming into the neighborhood unless they live here or have been invited, so you have all the perks of a gated community without any of the drawbacks. This beautiful traditional home is also on the creek side of a cul-de-sac, with a very private backyard, perfect for the kiddos.
“This is such a great family home,” Croft said. “It has just the right mix of old world and transitional styles with beautiful hand-scraped hardwoods and handcrafted kitchen cabinetry.”
This beautiful 4,534-square-foot Coppell traditional has it all. Inside, you have five bedrooms, four bathrooms, an executive-style home office, a game room, and a media room. Outside you have a veritable paradise. A large patio with a cooking area, a fireplace, and a television you can see from the pool will make summers pass with a breeze.
Coppell is also home to Texas Dreams Gymnastics, with former Olympian Kim Zmeskai Burdett as the head coach. All of the elementary schools are rated exemplary and are one of the big attractions for families.
“Everybody knows everybody,” Croft said. “There is a small-town feel, and the community hosts so many events from the Christmas and Fourth of July parades to homecoming parades. It’s safe, warm, and inviting. We have so many kids that grew up in Coppell who return from college to buy homes here. It’s just a great place to live!”
And now you have an opportunity to enjoy what everyone is talking about. Croft has 626 Prestwick Court listed for $1.21 million.
