Listing Description
Welcome to 1500 Gardenia Dr—an updated corner-lot home in the heart of Allen with a backyard setup you’ll actually use. Out back, you’ve got a sparkling pool, a fire pit area, and a covered patio that’s perfect for weekend hangouts, summer nights, or just decompressing after work.
Inside, the main living space feels warm and inviting with custom carpentry details, modern luxury plank flooring, and a fireplace that anchors the room without feeling heavy. The kitchen is bright and functional with granite counters, updated finishes, and a sunny breakfast nook with a bay window that looks out over the pool—so you can keep an eye on the fun while you’re cooking or sipping coffee.
The big-ticket items have been handled, too: the HVAC was replaced in 2021, the WiFi-enabled pool pump was replaced in 2023, and the water heater was replaced in 2024. The interior was also freshly painted in 2024, and the bathrooms have been tastefully updated.
You’ll also appreciate the epoxy-coated two-car garage and the 10-foot privacy fence that gives the backyard a tucked-away feel. Location-wise, it’s hard to beat—walkable to highly rated Story Elementary, plus nearby trails, parks, neighborhood lakes, dining, and shopping. And no HOA.
Pool season is coming—this backyard is set up for it. Plenty of room to lounge, grill, and host, plus the covered patio makes it usable even on hot Texas afternoons. Corner-lot setting adds breathing room, and the privacy fence keeps it feeling like your own retreat. If you want move-in ready + fun outdoor living in Allen, this one’s hard to beat.
Come see it in person—this one has the updates, the outdoor space, and the location that are tough to find all in one place.
