    Upgrade Your Life

    These luxe apartments let you call this booming Richardson area home

    Richardson is booming, thanks to CityLine's long roster of shops and restaurants and the many big-name companies that have moved their offices to the area. And what's right next to it all? Alexan Central, a new all-in-one apartment community that combines smart luxury with an unbeatable location.

    Coal Vines, Tom + Chee, Whole Foods, Tricky Fish, Edoko Sushi and Robata, Taco Diner, Super Chix, Jasper's — it's all here and then some. Just a stone's throw away from the Alexan are some of North Texas' hottest dining destinations, as well as the CityLine/Bush DART station stop (U.S. 75 and the President George Bush Turnpike are mere minutes away). A movie theater is slated to open at CityLine in 2017, and there are already several spas and medical offices for practical services.

    But you might be too comfy at home to venture out often. Homes at Alexan Central range from studio to two-bedroom floorplans, and come standard with an array of cool amenities. Love the feeling of space? Each unit has a minimum of 9.5-foot ceilings. Granite a must-have? You'll find it in all the kitchens and bathrooms. Need high-end appliances? There's stainless steel in the kitchen, plus a washer and dryer included in each unit. Carpet a deal-breaker? Stained concrete or plank wood are the floor materials of choice.

    Certain units even come outfitted with especially swank touches, such as custom closets, wine fridges, wood-framed mud rooms, and vertical spa shower/tub combos.

    And that's all just in your own residence. The community itself boasts such perks as a clubroom with billiards and shuffleboard, resort-style pools and cabanas, and courtyard grilling and outdoor gaming areas (count sand volleyball among the courts). On the fifth floor, an open-air amenity deck mixes a business center with skyline views. A gym filled with state-of-the-art fitness equipment also boasts internet televisions, workout tracking, and a yoga studio. The dog park gives Fido nearly an acre of land to run out his energy, plus there's a dog wash for spiffing up after playtime. Or you both can venture offsite to take advantage of the nearby 40-plus miles of hike and bike trails. And if your bicycle needs a tune-up, there's an onsite repair and storage center.

    Alexan Central is open now, but you'll want to reserve your spot for the grand opening celebration in July. The theme "A Taste of CityLine at Alexan Central" promises tasty bites from the neighboring restaurants, along with signature spirits, live music, tours, a grand prize giveaway, and much more. Visit www.alexancentral.com to make sure you're there for all the fun.

    House For Sale

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

    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.

    Facade of 9203 Lindaro is pleasing, thanks to the unpainted brick.

    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.
