Update: Tryptophan coma, I failed to include address: 3737 Northview Lane.
This northwest Dallas ranch in Underwood Estates has a lot of sizzling surprises once you walk inside. Kind of like my Thanksgiving turkey — nothing to dial home about on the outside, but delicious and tender on the inside!
This 1959-built babe has been opened up, lifted, stretched and pulled, then cooked to perfection with a lot of butter under the skin. The floorplan is broad and open and we really love those arched doorways from the main living area to the kitchen, which is loaded: granite counters, an oversized center island where you could stuff 10 turkeys, stainless steel appliances and a deep double kitchen sink. There is a large laundry room and a mud room with school pack cubbies. The yard is phenomenal — .37 of an acre, loaded with mature trees. You have oodles of room for a pool or a kid’s haven. Northaven Park is a short walk down the street. 
There are five bedrooms, including a totally knocked out master suite with fireplace, step-down sitting area, and spa retreat bath featuring a jetted tub, open multi-spray shower I like to call an Ode to Joan Crawford, and large walk-in closets. Each bedroom has an updated bath. The home is also equipped with a fancy schmancy high tech wiring and sound system, and a technology center. The roof is also a 2015 vintage, which means almost brand new.
There is also a study center for the kiddos, which is great because you will be living near most North Dallas private schools and will want to crack the old study whip — hello Tiger Mom! How they got all that on one story, I will never know.
The home was renovated in 2011, then sold in October to the current owner who managed to rid the house of the medieval Renaissance feel and update update. Looks like it sold for $465,000. But it has had a pretty major facelift. Listed with Keller William’s Noe De Leon, who always has some snazzy homes to strut, for $719,700. Do I think they poured $300K into this home in a little over a month?
I don’t know, what do YOU think oh ye stuffed faithful readers? My chief complaint: I would have liked to see more marble around the master bathtub — I mean on the wall. Looks a little grander.
Hope your Holiday was fantastic! The folks at Inwood Bank and Mortgage say Happy Holidays, and come talk turkey for a new mortgage.
