If you were looking for a home with everything you want in homeownership, but without most of the major worries of homeownership, wouldn’t that be something? What if you were a first-time home buyer? Well, Compass agent Crystal Gonzalez has something to show you!
This adorable 1948 Oak Cliff cottage has been fully renovated by its current owner; it’s in a terrific, walkable neighborhood; and in addition to it’s great price, it has a fabulous buyer incentive financing package available. It’s our Highlight Home of the Week, sponsored by Lisa Peters, Senior Loan Officer with First Horizon.
The home at 927 S Franklin is located in an established neighborhood where residents tend to stay a long time. It’s within easy reach of Oak Cliff standbys like Stevens Park and Bishop Arts.
The special financing offered through First Horizon is called the portfolio program. It includes 100% financing with $0 down and a $5,000 grant, subject to qualification and availability — which is a heck of an incentive.
Speaking of the renovations, the current owner added this lovely deck in the huge backyard as part of the home upgrades. And isn’t it just the perfect time of year to enjoy a backyard deck? When you can actually enjoy the weather, maybe even put on a sweater and put a fire in the firepit?
Inside, the current owner opened up the living area to create a larger space, and added a bathroom, making the house a three-bedroom, two-bath home. She also replaced or upgraded all the major systems any home buyer would be concerned about: electrical, plumbing, foundation, and the roof. That right there takes away a massive amount of repair and maintenance concerns for a few years!
The stylish kitchen has plenty of storage, stainless steel appliances, and a gas range perfect for home chefs.
The primary bedroom has a custom closet system and lots of natural light. The other two bedrooms are perfect for an office, children’s rooms, or guest rooms. These beautiful hardwood floors are throughout the home, offering the opportunity to personalize each space with rugs.
The fence is also brand new — check that off your list of concerns, too — and this massive yard is just begging for a fun playhouse for the kids, or maybe a pool one day?
So many times, when we see an affordable home, it comes with a list of repairs or much-needed upgrades, but not this beauty! First-time home buyers should make this home a priority.
