Located just a few minutes from the northern shores of White Rock Lake, our Thursday Three Hundred offers a fabulous East Dallas location, coupled with recent updates that make the property shine.
The 1956 ranch at 7220 Haverford Rd. features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 1,840 square feet on one story. Outdoor living features large in the list of pros of this property. They’ve created a backyard oasis with covered deck, eight-foot privacy fence, and mature landscaping, including big shade trees.
This property was just listed Tuesday, so let’s take a look before someone snatches it up!
Located near Northwest Highway and Abrams Road in University Terrace, this home is part of a long-tenured Dallas neighborhood. The area is home to about 3,550 residents, established in 1954. It’s right next to White Rock Lake and about an eight-minute drive from downtown Dallas. Houses here tend to go fast because of their coveted “greater Lakewood” location. They have an active neighborhood association and a lot of community pride.
This house featured cute curb appeal, with a painted brick exterior, mature shade trees, and great landscaping. It feels welcoming and well-kept.
Inside, there’s an open floorplan in the common living areas at the front of the house, with clear sight lines in the living-dining-kitchen areas. You’ll find crown moulding, recessed lighting, hardwood floors, and a fresh look inside. The living room’s decorative fireplace sits between two big windows, letting in lots of natural light.
The renovated kitchen now features granite countertops, white cabinets, an island with seating, and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range. This layout is great for families who want to be able to be in the kitchen and keep an eye on kids playing nearby.
There’s a second living area in the house’s floorplan, a 300-square-foot space added by the current homeowner. It’s being used as a gym now, but could be a game rooms, play area for children, or TV room.
The bedrooms are good sized, and the master has French doors leading to the patio. Both bathrooms are renovated with new tile and vanities/sinks.
The backyard deserves extra attention, as it is a private oasis. The covered deck has fabric curtains for protection from the sun, and all of this overlooks a wonderfully private and lush yard area. Mature landscaping includes azalea bushes and big, arching shade trees. There’s also an oversized storage shed nearby.
This home was listed Nov. 29 by Kathi Stefanu with Keller Williams Frisco Stars for $385,000. There’s an open house this Saturday, Dec. 3, from 2-4 p.m. If you go, leave us a comment with your thoughts of this University Terrace beauty!
