About this property

Let's get something out of the way: this home needs work. Now that we've said it, let's talk about why it's worth it. Welcome to Southgate Manor, one of Garland's most established and desirable neighborhoods. Mature trees canopy the streets. Sidewalks connect the blocks. Neighbors actually wave. This is the kind of neighborhood people move into, renovate to keep up with the times, and stay forever. Now, about this floor plan. Brace yourself. There are walls in this house. Real ones. Between rooms. Revolutionary. In a world where every new build is an echoey open-concept box where you can hear a spoon drop from three rooms away, this home chose peace. A crescent-shaped hallway separates the sleeping quarters from the living areas That's a layout detail builders forgot about somewhere around 2005 and we've all been suffering since. Two generous living areas, both with glorious natural light. A classic galley kitchen with real counter space, an eat-in dining area, and a charming pass-through to the living room that was the island before the island was a thing. Outside is where this home really wins. A 60-foot lot with a setback that gives the front porch actual breathing room — you can sit out here without making eye contact with passing traffic. Out back, an enormous covered patio, an electrified workshop shed, and a massive oak tree that's been shading this lawn longer than most of us have been alive. Does this home need your vision? Absolutely. But the bones, the lot, and the neighborhood are doing the heavy lifting. All that's missing is someone who sees what this could be.
