Less to maintain. More freedom to live! Set within the gated community of Merion at Midtown Park, this thoughtfully upgraded villa pairs the freedom of lock-and-leave living with the privacy, space and independence of a single-family home. With three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, an attached two-car garage and private outdoor space, it offers an easier way to live in the center of Dallas. Energy-efficient features, including 16 SEER air conditioning, a radiant barrier roof, Low-E windows and a tankless water heater, add thoughtful design and everyday efficiency. The main living level unfolds upstairs with tree-top views, creating a private, light-filled retreat where the kitchen, dining, living and primary suite come together. Hardwood floors, updated balusters, custom shades and sound system wiring complement the open design. The kitchen features a generous island, gas cooktop, upgraded stainless appliances, walk-in pantry, and built-in beverage refrigerator with coordinating racks for glasses. The primary suite includes a custom closet system and ensuite bath, built-in cabinetry, mirrored medicine cabinets offering discreet additional storage, a glass-enclosed shower and smart commode with heated seat. Two first-floor bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, office, fitness or hobby space, while the private side yard provides just enough outdoor space to enjoy without demanding your weekends. Beyond the front door, Merion extends the lifestyle with an infinity-edge pool, private cabanas, dog park, grilling areas, fire pit, and guest parking. Nearby walking and biking trails add even more opportunity to get outside. NorthPark Center, Highland Park Village, and SMU are all within easy reach, along with Central Market, Trader Joe's and major medical centers. Centrally located, beautifully updated, and designed for an easier way of living, this distinctive Dallas residence leaves more time for wherever life takes you next!
