Sometimes you really do have to head to the suburbs to find a good deal. With all of the homes in Dallas and Fort Worth getting snapped up so fast, perhaps it’s a good idea to look north to Grapevine, where you can get a great family home for not a lot of money. This home, though, is just a great house, period. You don’t need a couple of kids to enjoy this three-bedroom, two-bath, 1,383-square-foot home that has the best little saltwater pool and spa.
Now, if you do have kids and you’re looking for an affordable home with great schools and just enough room that will keep your brood from driving you up the wall on a rainy day, may I suggest 921 Wildwood Circle? This home is just fantastic, with some updates that keep this 1993 traditional one-story fresh. The two-car garage is a huge selling point, as is the tidy front landscaping. And seriously, I cannot believe this price: $235,000! What a steal!
Bright paint and brushed nickel fixtures have a traditional feel, and the kitchen is open to the dining room in a very practical floorplan that is common among homes built during the 90s. The cabinetry and living areas have aged well, and look great with fresh paint. There’s plenty of lighting, with a row of track lights in front of the fresh-looking fireplace, as well as several recessed lights throughout the living areas. The hardwood floors ad a touch of warmth to the cool gray paint, which goes great with the granite counters and tumbled stone backsplash in the kitchen. Of course, There are some things you’ll want to change, most of them are located in the master bathroom, which has a very basic-looking vinyl tub surround and, is that linoleum?
Anyway, the rest of the house is cute, save for the carpet, but what I really love about this little cutie is the pool in the backyard. Really, that’s where the value is in this adorable house. Where else are you going to find a heated saltwater pool for less than $300K? Not in Dallas or Fort Worth, that’s for sure. And there’s plenty of room for fitness or relaxation in this little backyard oasis, that I’m sure this home won’t be on the market for much longer.
