Buckner Terrace is one of the East Dallas neighborhoods where you can get a lot of house for your money. It’s considerably more affordable than other areas like Lakewood, Forest Hills, Swiss Avenue, and Junius Heights.
Take our Tuesday Two Hundred, for instance, located at 5110 Ashbrook Rd. near Samuell Boulevard and N. Jim Miller Road. This renovated ranch has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and 2,040 square feet for well under $300K.
Built in 1965, this home has been completely updated—the main living areas are now open concept and the bathrooms and kitchen are dreamy. It’s got a nice-sized bedrooms, a big backyard, and lots of charms. Let’s take a closer look.
Located east and south of White Rock lake is the hidden gem of Buckner Terrace. You’ll find mostly one-and two-story ranches sitting on large lots with mature oak, magnolia, and pecan trees. It’s only five miles from downtown, so you can see the skyline from many of the streets. This is one of the up-and-coming neighborhoods in Dallas, and properties here often get snatched up.
This home just came on the market Sept. 19. The exterior looks contemporary and sleek, with a new front door, mature trees, and new landscaping. Inside, the home has new dark laminate flooring throughout, except the kitchen and bathrooms. The main living area is opened up and one great room, encompassing the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Love the contemporary large stone fireplace.
The large kitchen features gray granite countertops, white subway tile, tons of white cabinets (some with glass fronts), breakfast bar, and stainless steel appliances, including a convection oven.
The secondary bathrooms offer grey tones and imported Carrara Marble countertops and mosaics tiles. The master features his-and-hers closets, dual sinks on granite-topped vanity, and a large tiled shower with barn door style glass doors.
The backyard is large, as are most in this neighborhood, and has room for adding a swimming pool, if the future homeowners want. Like in the front, the landscaping is fairly new and small, but will fill in with time and care.
This house is by Alexander Robinson with Keller Williams Central for $265,000.
