A Little House on The East Richardson Prairie That Will Surprise You

A 110-Year-Old East Richardson PrairieFinding a Special Buyer

This house is already under contract, so why am I writing about it? Just to be a jerk? I mean yes and no … But really I’m writing about it because it’s a great example of “Huh, you think you know a place …”

There are pockets of this city (and the surrounding suburbs) that we never even knew existed. I mean someone does because these homes are occupied, but in this case, I did not. And I’ve lived in the Dallas-Fort Worth area my entire life and I also currently live in Richardson.

How did I not know that right across North Central Expressway there’s a home that was built in 1913, set on one acre, and has only had two separate families as owners in its entire house history?

A 110-Year-Old East Richardson Prairie

Yeah, you read that right, I didn’t know something. I’m kidding. The surprise is the part about the current owner purchasing the home from the original owners’ grandkids, or quite possibly great-grandkids. Is that nuts? The home was built in 1913 and has essentially had just two owners.

Anyway, this one is such a sweet little surprise. It’s old school.

No joke, but Ebby Halliday’s Janine Bayer said one bathroom has been remodeled, but pretty much everything else is intact. It doesn’t have central heat and air either. The current owner used space heaters. Isn’t that wild? What a pioneer woman.

Finding a Special Buyer

Obviously, a property like this requires a special kind of buyer. One that’s not afraid of an older home, loves the charm, and has the means to add a central HVAC system (if they so choose).

Turns out there are many buyers that fit that description, and even in today’s dramatic “AHHHHHH. It’s a buyer’s market again! Who could have ever predicted such a thing?” market, this one had multiple offers before it even made it to the weekend.

To shift gears one final time, here’s another point. Houses are still selling, knuckleheads. There’s a little more inventory and a few fewer buyers so it might take a little longer, but home sales are still happening. Especially when you have such an incredibly delightful, unusual-for-the-area home.

This one is just such a treat, which is why, even though it’s under contract, I still had to feature it. Not because I’m actually a jerk …

Bayer had 307 Huffhines Street listed for $550,000.
