The residence
Mid-century bones, brand-new everything
A 1957 split-level in Heights Park — one of Richardson’s original neighborhoods, where mature trees arch over the streets and downtown Dallas sits on the horizon. The house has just come through a full renovation: designer lighting, new stone counters, brand-new stainless appliances and HVAC, and new flooring throughout. It is vacant and move-in ready.
The layout works the way split-levels are supposed to: living, dining, and a brand-new kitchen up front; a family room with a floor-to-ceiling black brick fireplace opening to the covered patio out back; three bedrooms and two new baths up a half flight, away from the noise. Below it all, an oversized 24-foot garage. Out back, a 9,750 sq ft lot with mature shade trees — and no HOA telling you what to do with it.
Priced to move, not to negotiate.
$525,000 is the number
This is the price the owner intends to sell at — set deliberately, in one move, for a fast and clean close. It is not an opening position waiting to be whittled down.
No listing agent, no listing commission
You are buying directly from the owner. There is no listing-side commission built into this price, which is a large part of how the number got here. An attorney handles the contract; title and escrow handle the money. How buying direct works →
Ready to close in 15–30 days
The owner is motivated and prepared to move on a short timeline. Cash and conventional financing both work. Bring a clean offer and a lender letter and this can be done quickly.
The owner is selling their own home. Everything on this site is published by the owner. No brokerage represents the seller in this transaction.
For buyer’s agents
Bringing a client? The owner pays 2%.
This is a for-sale-by-owner listing, not an unrepresented-buyers-only listing. Buyer’s agents are welcome here and are compensated.
2% to the buyer’s agent
Paid by the seller at closing through the title company, on a successful sale. Confirm the figure in writing in the contract — the owner will put it in the agreement.
Showings on your schedule
The home is vacant, so there is no seller to work around. Book a 45-minute window on the calendar, or contact the owner directly to arrange access for your client.
You deal with the owner, not a listing agent
Questions about the renovation, the mechanicals, the survey, or the timeline get answered by the person who owns the house. Offers go straight to the decision-maker.
A Texas attorney handles the contract
Standard residential paperwork, standard option period, standard title and escrow through a title company. Nothing unusual on your side of the file.
Buyer-agent compensation is offered by the property owner directly and is subject to a written agreement and a successful closing. It is not an offer of cooperation through any listing brokerage, and no brokerage represents the seller.

Heights Park, Richardson
One of Richardson’s original neighborhoods — mid-century streets under mature trees, minutes from US-75, DART rail, and downtown Richardson’s restaurant row.
Mid-century Heights Park
Streets of classic 1950s ranches and split-levels with brick exteriors and big lots, and a neighborhood known for its parks, walkability, and community feel. The Heights Family Aquatic Center and Heights Park itself are close by.
Downtown Richardson, nearby
Richardson’s walkable core — cafes, pubs, and local restaurants around Main Street — sits just across US-75 from the neighborhood.
US-75 & DART rail
US-75 is at the neighborhood’s edge, and DART’s Arapaho Center Station (Red and Orange lines) is one block east of the highway — a straight rail ride into downtown Dallas.
~14 miles to downtown Dallas
Roughly a 15–20 minute drive down US-75 in normal traffic — close enough for the skyline to show up in this home’s aerial photos.
CityLine & the telecom corridor
The CityLine development — State Farm’s regional campus, restaurants, and its own DART station — and the Richardson tech corridor are a short drive north and east.
UT Dallas
The University of Texas at Dallas campus is minutes away in northwest Richardson — now also served by DART’s Silver Line.
Schools
Richardson ISD serves the neighborhood; confirm current school assignment for your move-in date directly with the district.

How the sale works
Direct from the owner
No listing agent and no broker on the sale side — you deal with the owner directly. Buyers are welcome to bring their own agent, and the owner pays that agent 2% at closing. Details for buyer’s agents →
An attorney handles the contract
Contract review and drafting are handled by a licensed Texas real estate attorney, so the paperwork is prepared and reviewed properly on both the standard forms and any special provisions.
Title & escrow handle closing
A title company will handle escrow, the title commitment, and closing. Details are shared with serious buyers during the offer process.
Financing accepted
Cash and conventional financing. Please include proof of funds or a current lender pre-approval letter with any offer.
This section describes how the owner intends to handle the transaction. It is general information, not legal, tax, or financial advice. Buyers should engage their own attorney, inspector, lender, and advisors.
Questions buyers ask
Is the price negotiable?
The home is priced to move at $525,000 — set deliberately below the prior listing's final price, with no listing-side commission built in. It is a decisive number, not an opening position.
How do I see the house?
Book a 45-minute private showing online in two clicks, or send a note through the contact form. The home is vacant, so showings are easy to schedule.
Is there an HOA?
No. There is no HOA and no HOA dues — $0.
What was renovated?
The home came through a full renovation: designer lighting, new stone counters, brand-new stainless appliances and HVAC, new flooring throughout, and two fully redone bathrooms. It is vacant and move-in ready.
How fast can we close?
The owner is prepared to close in 15–30 days with cash or conventional financing. Include proof of funds or a lender pre-approval letter with your offer.
Can I bring my own agent or inspector?
Yes to both — and the owner pays your agent 2% at closing. Inspections during your option period are expected and encouraged.
What school district is it in?
Richardson ISD. Confirm the current school assignment for your move-in date directly with the district.
Is a buyer’s agent paid on this sale?
Yes — the owner pays a buyer’s agent 2% at closing, confirmed in writing in the contract. What the price does not carry is a listing-side commission, because the owner is selling directly with no listing agent or broker. More for agents →
