Vickery Park is all the rage right now, and with a location so close to Lower Greenville hot spots and downtown Dallas, we can't say that we're shocked. While Tudors and bungalows dominate the neighborhood, every now and then a newer construction like this one at 5411 Vickery Blvd. hits the market.

This four-bedroom home, constructed in 2004, has a desirable floorplan that is sure to excite many buyers. For starters, the master bedroom is on the bottom level, which means most living can be done on one floor. This home also has a rare three-car garage.

What is particularly striking about this home is the abundance of natural light that pours into all of its living areas thanks to the tall ceilings and walls of glass. The home also features granite countertops in the kitchen, hardwoods in the living spaces, and a wet bar perfect for hosting a cocktail party.

Buyers with frequent out-of-town guests or even those looking for a rental opportunity will delight in the home's guest quarters that can be accessed from the interior or exterior of the property. The space features a kitchenette, separate living room, full bath, and a central HVAC system and puts the property's total livable space at 4,113 square feet.

This home is priced aggressively at $850,000. Listing agent Brady Moore is confident this house will go quickly.

"The lots on this block are about 500 square feet larger than the typical M Streets lot," Moore says. "The home is move-in ready and in pristine condition much like new construction homes and total square footage is over 4,000."

Another bonus? The elementary school, Robert E. Lee, is one of only a few Dallas ISD schools in the International Baccalaureate Program.

House For Sale

Dallas house for sale from the '50s is still in original condition

9203 null

There's a house for sale in East Dallas that's increasingly hard-to-find: a well-preserved home from the '50s for sale that's in nearly original condition.

The house is located at 9203 Lindaro Ln., just outside Loop 12 and walking distance to Bishop Lynch High School, in a stable neighborhood of homes build in the mid 1950s.

The listing by Bryant Nieves of Elite Real Estate Texas calls it a "beautifully preserved Mid-Century gem" with original hardwood floors in the downstairs bedrooms, a recently installed roof, a modern sprinkler system, and an upgraded AC unit.

There are multiple living spaces with a formal living & dining area, eat-in kitchen, and family room which includes an office nook with built-in desk. It has both a carport and attached 2-car garage, as well as a fully fenced yard.

Most of the homes in this neighborhood are 1,200 to 1,600 square feet, and priced from $250,000 to $350,000.

This house was built in 1957, but it differs in that it has a second-floor add-on over the garage — making it roomier at 2,202 square feet, with 5 bedrooms instead of the usual 3.

The two bathrooms are in original condition with '50s tile, both in good shape. The main bathroom has pale warm tan tile, almost flesh colored; the second bathroom, off one of the bedrooms, is a little prettier, with white tile and green-tile edging. Both are far superior to granite-look ceramic.

While both bathrooms merit admiration, this house is more about the wood. There are

original hardwood floors, all in great shape
wood doors including closet doors
wood paneling in the family room, with wood bookshelves and a build-in wood desk

There's also an odd wooden bookshelf that serves as a divider of sorts in the stacked formal living room.

The only room that looks unoriginal is the kitchen, which boasts white-washed '80s cabinets. It looks clean and functional, even if it does not match modern tastes.

It sits on a 7,535 sqft lot and the asking price is $395,000 — a bit optimistic, even if they find the rare buyer who sees value in an untouched '50s home.
