A Sunshine-Filled Forever Home in Dallas
Every now and then, a home comes along that feels ready to meet you halfway. It doesn’t shout for attention. It just quietly offers space, comfort, and a sense that you could build a life here without compromise. That’s the feeling at 23 Kelso Crescent in Kamloops’ sunny Dallas community.
Priced at $848,000, this three-bedroom, three-bathroom home sits on a 10,000-square-foot lot and spans over 3,000 square feet of living space. Built in 1993, it combines the solid craftsmanship of its era with thoughtful upgrades for modern living. From the moment you step through the front door, you notice how light floods the rooms. The open main floor stretches nearly 2,000 square feet, with big windows and bright walls that make every space feel calm and warm.
The main level has everything you need in one place: a spacious kitchen, laundry, two full bathrooms, and three comfortable bedrooms. The layout suits a variety of lifestyles, from young families to those looking for single-level living. Hallways are extra wide and cabinetry sits slightly lower than average, details that make life easier without drawing attention to themselves.
Step outside and you’ll find one of the home’s greatest assets: space to breathe. The backyard is large and private, with direct paved access for RVs, trailers, or extra vehicles. For many Kamloops buyers, that kind of convenience is rare. There’s room here for a garden, a workshop, or a future play area for kids. Dallas is known for its generous sunlight—over 2,000 hours a year—and you’ll feel it in this yard from morning to evening.
Downstairs, the walk-out basement adds another layer of opportunity. It’s a blank canvas ready for a suite, studio, or home gym. The space is open and flexible, with its own entrance and plenty of natural light. Talk to the City about converting it into an income-producing suite or keep it as an extension of your family’s living space.
Everything about this home feels designed for longevity. It’s easy to move through, simple to maintain, and welcoming in every season. The sellers even had it professionally cleaned, including carpets and ventilation, so you can settle in without lifting a finger.
The Dallas neighbourhood itself offers a balance that’s hard to find. You’re close to the Thompson River, surrounded by wide streets and established homes, yet still within a short drive of downtown Kamloops. Nearby schools like Robert L. Clemitson Elementary and Dallas Elementary make it a practical choice for families.
In a market full of listings that promise too much or deliver too little, 23 Kelso Crescent stands out for its simplicity. It’s big enough for the next chapter, bright enough to lift your mood, and built well enough to last. For anyone looking for a forever home that gets the fundamentals right, this one is worth a closer look.
