Mid-Cities living never looked so good as in the Hurst house we’ve discovered with big style and a budget-friendly price tag.
Located at 725 Thousand Oaks Dr., this house is better than new, recently updated for a total reimagination. It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living areas, and 1,875 square feet on one story, built in 1965.
“It’s been redone from the studs, so the floorplan has changed and created an open concept look, so it’s a lot more modern look,” said listing agent Bernice Maez with Vivo Realty. “It’s also in the attendance zone for HEB schools, which is a big draw for families.”
We’ve got some “before” photos that show just how massive of a transformation this home underwent. Jump to see them all.
The lot is almost a quarter are — 0.220 acres — and it is heavily treed, a major selling point for the property.
“A lot of modern houses in Dallas don’t have many trees and this one does,” Maez said. “At this price point, you just can’t beat it.”
The exterior has freshly painted brick and a new contemporary front door in a fetching aqua color. It hints at the mod look inside. New low-E windows look marvelous.
The interior was formerly dark with wood paneling and a seriously outdated vibe. The bones were great, but it badly needed freshening up. Now it has a whole new look with a light color palette, recessed lights, hardwood floors, new carpeting, contemporary tile treatments, and a kitchen and bathrooms that are completely new.
The front living and dining areas flow to the second living room toward the back of the house, with the kitchen to the right. The second living room is anchored by a fireplace with a large brick surround, painted white, with a rough-hewn wood mantel.
The kitchen is the star of the show with Shaker-style custom cabinets, a walk-in pantry, and a cement tile backsplash with a graphic, fun feel. Granite countertops look marvelous and the island offers a breakfast bar and three fun pendant lights above it. The farm sink and appliances are stainless steel, including dual ovens. Just off the kitchen is a utility/mud room.
In the master, an ensuite bathroom is revamped and looks great, as does the secondary bath.
In back, what was a a bunch of dirt now looks better with dual French doors leading from the house, a privacy fence, and mature trees.
