$300,000

Looking for a move in ready home in Allen ISD without the new construction price? This 1984 brick home sits on a cul de sac in Collin Square, and the expensive updates are done. Roof, fence, water heater, windows, front door, HVAC, foundation, and the fireplace and flue system have all been replaced or repaired. That is most of what shows up on an inspection report and turns into a repair negotiation. Inside: engineered wood floors, a wood burning brick fireplace anchoring a 19 by 16 living room, a separate dining area, a pantry, and a primary bath with room to move. Three bedrooms, two full baths, and an attached one car garage with opener. Wood privacy fence out back. HOA is just $30 a month. Schools include Boyd Elementary, Ereckson Middle, Lowery Freshman Center, and Allen High School. The location does the rest. US 75 is minutes away for commutes to Plano, Richardson, and Dallas, with groceries, restaurants, and Allen's greenbelt trail system close by along Stacy Road and Central Expressway. Collin Square is an established Allen neighborhood with mature trees and sidewalks, and true cul de sac lots at this price point rarely come up. For first time buyers, or anyone who has watched updated Allen homes go to someone else, this is a lower maintenance way into one of the most requested cities and school districts in Collin County.
