Fully fenced to mark off its “park-like setting” out back, this $364,000 Boxing Day listing sits on the bias of a Westridge corner previously converted into a dead end where it abuts 2 churches, their parking lots just beyond this property. A small drainage gulley also separates the Methodists at Bethany UMC from the Presbyterians at St. Luke’s Church, and it runs behind this lot as well. The neighborhood’s still-sort-of-new Longfellow Elementary School and Linkwood Park are just up the cross street and around the corner, as is a lot of road construction at the moment.

The front room off the foyer is currently used as the 1-story ranch-style home’s main living space (above). Natural light sources include a wall of floor-to-ceiling picture windows facing the intersection and a double door with glass panels opening to the southwest side of the quarter-acre lot, where the garage and much of the driveway lies behind an automated gate (below). There’s also a circle driveway across the wedge-shaped front yard.

The dining room’s corners contain built-in china cabinets. French doors lead to the grounds and one of the home’s patios:
Among the home’s 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is this master suite:
A set of double closets line the route into the master bathroom; the maroon-hue tile is original to the home:
The other bathroom was updated recently, as were the paint colors:
On the northeast side of the home, a small patio infills space between the only 2 homes on the remaining spit of residential lots between the adjacent churches.
Behind the automated gate across the driveway lies a wooden deck and a yard with fruit and pecan trees:
