7736 Meadow Road, Unit 102Dallas, TX 75230Price: $292,000

Two private outdoor spaces, a full-size patio for dining and grilling, and pool access just outside your door - this first-floor home at Paradiso doesn't live like a condo. What sets this unit apart is the outdoor space. A private, fenced front courtyard gives you a separate entry feel with room for seating and plants. Out back, a full-size patio fits a dining table, grill, and lounge chairs - all behind privacy fencing. For a condo, this is rare. Inside, the living and dining areas flow together across hardwood floors with crown molding overhead and natural light from multiple exposures. The kitchen features granite counters, white cabinetry, and a breakfast bar that opens to the main living space without closing anything off. Three bedrooms give you real flexibility. The primary suite has its own dressing area, generous vanity, and walk-in tile shower. A second bedroom works equally well as a guest room or home office, and a third adds good closet space. The second full bath - with a jetted soaking tub - serves the rest of the unit. Paradiso is a gated community minutes from NorthPark Center, Central Market, and the full run of restaurants and shops along Lovers Lane and Greenville Ave. Two assigned covered parking spots included.
