Peachtree Village: The Fruit of Your Years of Labor
If you're in the market for your first home, or looking to downsize now that the family have spread their wings, www.FindMyNewHomeInTexas.com have a Peachtree Village house, listed by Lyn Thomas  214-663-7009 of Keller Williams Realty, which may just be what you've been looking for.
Peachtree VillageIf you like wide open parkland, then 2800 Waxleaf Court, Peachtree Village, is an East Plano home that will have you interested from the start. You will be within a few minutes' walk of Bob Woodruff Park (and there's nothing better than having a springtime stroll in a park) and you'll still be just a short drive from the local shops, or an easy route to your place of employment.

Now, for the bit that's of real interest to you: the house.
Peachtree VillageIn realtor parlance, this Peachtree Village home ticks all of the boxes when it comes to curb appeal. But what does that actually mean for you? Well, the outside is nice, tidy, and there is nothing obvious needing done to it. The grass area isn't large, but few people spend most of their time in the front garden of their home anyway. The plants in the front garden are easy to look after, and that's great for people who don't have a "green-thumb", or those who just don't have the time to spend in a large garden. One thing that you should be aware of at this point is the fact that this is the only lawn space that you have with this Peachtree Village house, but a bit more about that later.
Peachtree VillageOne of the features that really add character to this Peachtree Village home is the vaulted ceilings. If you're not used to vaulted ceilings then they may seem a little unusual to start with, but they certainly give this home a quirkiness that you may have found missing from the other houses that you've looked at.
The sizes of the three bedrooms in this house are good; and they should be big enough for those just getting onto the property ladder, or those sliding down it a little. The kitchen, living room, and dining room are a good size, but you pass through the living area from the kitchen to reach the formal dining area. If you don't spend too much time formal dining, then being able to fit a table into the kitchen is going to work even better for you.          
Peachtree VillageSomething that I should mention (purely in a nit-picking way) is that not all of the colours and fixtures of this Peachtree Village house will be to everyone's taste. Of course, few people who actually live in a home, and aren't just renovating to sell it, will have colours that are considered to be neutral selling colours; everyone has a different preference when it comes to their fixtures, too, but none of these things should be a deal breaker as they don't need to be replaced right away, and you'll probably look to put your own stamp on the style at some stage in the future anyway.
Peachtree VillageYour new Peachtree Village home also already has the things that you'd be expecting to find in any new home that you buy. From ceramic tile and laminate flooring; to 12 inch+ attic insulation, ceiling fans, insulated doors; as well as, convection oven, electric cook top, dishwasher, disposal, etc; this traditional, cul-de-sac home has a lot going for it.


Peachtree VillageBut what about the lawn space "problem" I mentioned earlier? Well, ok, it may not be a problem, it could be a major positive to many, it just depends on you, and what you like to do with your outdoor living space. But instead of trying to explain, you should really make an appointment to view the property, and see if this feature really is for you, or if it's more for the low maintenance sun-worshipping people who will be reading about this Peachtree Village home.  
If you've missed out on houses in the past, then you may be on the phone already, if you haven't had that experience, today isn't the day to find out how quickly dream homes can come and go when you don't take action (even if it's just to view to start). So call today 972-265-4378.

Glen Brooke Estates
Glen Brooke Estates: A Community within a Community
FindMyNewHomeInTexas.com is proud to present to you one truly exciting home that is listed by Michael A Beck 972-596-6095 of Park One Properties.

View Larger Map
Glen Brooke EstatesSituated between Denton and Prosper, in the Glen Brooke Estates, is number 5531 Manitou drive. From the moment you enter into the Estate you get the feeling that this is going to be the sort of place where you would happily want to bring up your kids – and that's not only down to the excitement that you get when driving past Savannah Lake and the Water Park.
The home that you will be pulling up to has what can only be described as "substance". The red brick exterior and high arch covering the approach to the front door give you a sense that this is more than the run-of-the-mill houses that you've been looking at up to now; and that's not all that this traditional, single detached home has going for it on the outside.
Glen Brooke EstatesYou have a large area out the back that's ripe for you putting your own stamp on the property. You may decide to section part of it off as a retreat for the adults, while the kids do their own thing, or you may like the idea of having a small patch where you can start growing your own food. Now, you may be thinking that a pool would look good in that space, but check out the Community Pool before drawing up your plans.

Glen Brooke EstatesWhat of the inside of your Glen Brooke Estates home? There are four bedrooms that most people will have no problem in making some use of; it could be that they're already allocated to members of the family, earmarked for a growing family, or you may decide that an office/study is just the thing to keep you occupied – especially when the kids start "discussing" what to watch on the television.
You are also going to have two full sized and one half sized bathrooms. While that may not sound like an important feature to some people reading this, they may start to think differently when they remember back to the scramble that they had to get into that bathroom so that they could be at work on time.   
Glen Brooke EstatesOther things that your new Glen Brooke Estates home has that you're going to find hard to live without are: two dining areas, which are great for those quick morning meals, or slightly more formal evening meals; energy efficient ceiling fans and central air/heating, for those days when the weather is at one extreme or the other; and much more.



Glen Brooke EstatesOf course, the features and benefits that they bring to your family could go on for another page or two, but that never gives you a real sense of what your Glen Brooke Estates home is actually going to be like. You need to experience it for yourself. There's the anticipation that you get when you first pull into the drive; the tingle that you get when you walk through the front door for the first time; the thrill you get when both you and your partner start instinctively planning where everything is going to go... that's something that you have to book a visit – on the number below – to be able to do.
Glen Brooke EstatesNow, the catch; there's always one, isn't there? In this case it's the fact that a home like this, at such an affordable price, situated in easy reach of your work and other local conveniences, isn't going to stay on the market forever so call us today at 972-265-4378 to schedule your showing. As you may have already experience when it comes to house hunting, bargain properties get snapped up, so stop reading right now, get your appointment booked and remember to take a measuring tape with you when you go to inspect your new Glen Brooke Estates home – it's always good to be prepared.

 Briarmeade
Drinking in the Ambience of Briarmeade 
Finding the right home for you is never easy, that's why www.FindMyNewHomeInTexas.comis proud to present this exciting home listed by Kelly L Italia – 972-867-4747 of CEDA REALTY
Briarmeade Isn't it interesting how most families – moving to a large town or village – will be willing to make compromises on things that they would feel were essential if they had moved as little as a few miles further out? Some will take more land over the number of bedrooms, others will go for a lower mortgage no matter how little room there is for their family to grow or people to stay over. Of course, when you start your search with 1549 Croston, Briarmeade, most other properties are going to feel like a compromise anyway, here's why:

View Larger Map
Although you're going to be living within close proximity to parks, lakes, and the Collin Creek Mall in Plano, you're not going to have to reduce your expectations when it comes to the size of the indoor and outdoor living area of your Briarmeade home.
Briarmeade Indoor Living:
This is a home that has been built with a larger family in mind. It has four bedrooms, but you could just as easily use one as a study/office; or it could be left spare for those unexpected guests who drop by.
You also have 2.1 bathrooms to cope with the daily (more often morning rush) of a family getting ready for work and school. Now, before you wonder how you can have point one of a bathroom, let me explain; a half bathroom simply consists of a toilet and a sink, and this will generally be downstairs so that the family doesn't have to go up stairs when nature starts to call (more about nature/the outdoor space a little later).
Briarmeade If you are the sort of person who prefers the feel of a nice fireplace over the often expensive heating systems of many of the more modern homes, then you're going to look forward to sitting in front of the large brick fireplace in the colder months of the year. Of course, there are a lot of modern features in this home, but for the most part it harks back to a time when wooden panels and wooden floors were things to be treasured in a home, and weren't just seen as an inconvenience to be ripped out by the modern developer.
Naturally you have all of the modern conveniences that you would expect from a Briarmeade home, such as: a built-in Microwave, the dishwasher, the disposal, a double oven, and the intercom and cable TV availability; but they in no way clash with the paneling, window coverings, and wainscoting that give 1549 Croston, Briarmeade, its character.
Outdoor Living:          
Briarmeade With the space that you have inside you'd expect there to be a compromise on available space outside, wouldn't you? Well there is a little bit, but that's purely down to the way the outdoor space is being used at the moment.
Now, that may make you start to worry that the outside space is going to be the size of a postage stamp, not a bit of it, the outdoor space has been divided into two quite distinct living areas, one of which may be slightly smaller than expected, but with good reason. Let me explain:
Briarmeade At the front of the home is a large grassed area that anyone with a green-thumb will be raring to get started on. It has a large tree in it, but, if flowers are more of a priority than giving the kids somewhere to play, then you have a garden bucket full of potential at your finger tips. There is a small garden area, but for the budding horticulturist, or someone considering a certain amount of self-sufficiency, you may want to expand a little.
And, the back; the backyard is... ok, instead of me explaining, why not book in an appointment to see 1549 Croston, Briarmeade? Some things are best viewed rather than explained, and this is something that you and your family are really going to want to see first-hand.
Briarmeade So, are you still of the opinion that living in the heart of a place like Plano is going to mean that you have to make compromises in your life style? Some of the properties that you have seen in the past may leave you with that impression, but 1549 Croston, Briarmeade, may just be about to raise the bar to a point where no other houses are going to be left in the game. Unfortunately you may not be the first one to read about this home, so time may be against you; make the call today, 972-265-4378  it could be the first step on the road to securing your new home in Briarmeade.

The Trails
The Trails – A Gulf Between Dreams and Reality?
While some people are just buying their first home, and others are downsizing, there are many people still in the market for large properties for their growing families, and www.FindMyNewHomeInTexas.com have an exciting property at The Trails, listed by Iryna Mitchell  972-979-3931 of RE/MAX Premier IV, that's going to take some beating.
The TrailsSituated between Frisco and Hackberry, within very easy reach of Teal Parkway and the Dallas North Tollway, is The Trails of Frisco Golf Club, and you could be living right on the very edge of this large green expanse. Even if you aren't a golf fan, just having this area (literally) at your backyard, and knowing that no other buildings will be built there that could overlook your property, has to make you start to appreciate a game played by millions around the world.
The TrailsPeople often talk about the curb appeal of a house as you drive up to it. Does it look good from the road? Can you see things that need repaired, or has there been a general lack of TLC? Well, it's fair to say that the curb appeal of this home on The Trails is breath taking. The outside of the house looks like the sort of place that most of us would aspire to. From the turret like entrance, the brick exterior, the mature trees and well cared for garden, this looks like a place for those who have "made it" in life. Ok, the lawn does have a "patchwork" quality to it, but given time that should settle into a very nice front lawn.
The TrailsEven just getting to the front door appears to transport you back to a bygone era, but it's the inside that we'll look at next.
This home at 2432 W Creek Drive, The Trails, has large, impressive, and some might even say grand, rooms. From the moment you walk through the front door you know that this home has all the space that you could need right now – and for sometime into the future, too. Even as your family grows you'll have enough space to cope with all of the bits and pieces that are part and parcel of an increasing family.
The TrailsYour new home on The Trails has five large bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, so waiting in line in the morning should be a thing of the past – and this home maybe worth it for that alone; but there's more...
There's a study with a fireplace, a game room with a stunning vaulted ceiling and, well, a few mere words can't do justice to the kitchen, utility, dining room, etc, etc... You really have to make an appointment (details at the bottom) to experience this for yourself.
The TrailsOf course, no good "The Trails" home would be complete without a few of the essentials that you're going to have to start getting used to; things like: Bay Windows, the availability of cable TV and high speed internet, decorative lighting, a dry bar, a wet bar, split bedrooms, walk-in closets, and the list could go on.
With all of the features mentioned (and not mentioned) inside, surely they've held back a little on the outside living of this The Trails home, right? Not in the slightest. Because you'll want to take advantage of the weather (when you aren't next door playing golf) the outside of your new The Trails home has been turned into the sort of living area that you're family and friends will be looking for invitations to come back to. You'll have a pool, play pool, separate spa/hot tub, water feature, attached grill, covered porch(es), in fact, even if you have the most basic of entertainments skills, you can still have a more than successful party in your backyard.
The TrailsAs an added bonus, when you buy 2432 W Creek Drive, The Trails, you also get access to the many community features associated with living in this area. These community features include golf (of course), the club house, tennis, a greenbelt, a playground, and a community pool (great for when you know you're kids friends are going to leave a little too much cleaning up if they use your pool).
There are so many things that I could tell you about 2432 W Creek Drive, The Trails, but really, you have to see it rather than read about it. Making your appointment to view is quick and easy; living with the disappointment of missing out on such a lovely home is neither quick, nor easy. Full contact details are listed below; however the life changing choice to use them is still up to you.
