At certain price points, property values and housing demand in the Park Cities owe a lot to the top-rated schools in Highland Park ISD, and it’s an area where you’ll see well-maintained luxury condo and townhome developments that add just the right amount of density to the area. It’s less garden-style apartment or walk-up and more polished row house, and that’s why this lovely remodeled condo at 3415 McFarlin is an excellent value for a small family who wants low maintenance and great schools.
Not only is Unit A2 B in a fantastic location — just off of Hillcrest near Southern Methodist University and south of Snider Plaza — it has been updated for low maintenance, making this 32-year-old condo easy to love. Not only that, but it’s move-in ready in a very real sense, with top-of-the-line finish out and trendy paint. This condo, which has two stories, feels a lot like a townhome, says Realtor Don Averitt, who is listing this beauty for a reduced $359,000 (down from $379,000).
With two bedrooms, two full baths and one half bath, and 1,346 square feet, you get all of the space of a semi-detached without all of the maintenance of a yard. This is a great home for a small family, too, because it is open and accessible in the common areas, with the upstairs areas left for bedrooms.
Not only that, but this is an incredibly walkable area. You’re steps away from SMU, just a block or so from the McCullough Intermediate School/Highland Park Middle School campus, and Snider Plaza is just a few blocks north. You’re a stone’s throw from the beautiful gazebo and pond at Goar and Williams parks, too.
The kitchen sports granite counters a Viking range, stainless steel appliances, glass tile backsplash, and a travertine floor. The upstairs baths have granite, onyx, and Egyptian limestone with designer plumbing and hardware. There are hardwood floors throughout and a lovely little fenced patio. There’s also a wood burning fireplace to keep you cozy this winter. Homeowners Association dues are $205 a month, which seems reasonable for the area.
