Preserved with intention and updated where it counts, a rare historic home where craftsmanship & modern livability meet. Elevated corner lot in one of East Dallas’ most connected and walkable neighborhoods. Never publicly traded and has had only three stewards in more than 100 years, each with preservation in mind. This is not simply an old house. It is a soulful Dallas residence that has quietly served as a backdrop to the history, culture, and character of the city. Inside, original heart pine floors, solid 5-panel doors, vintage trim, original lighting, custom built-ins, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, Motawi handmade tile, an Art Deco plaster frieze, and heated primary bath floors create a layered sense of place that cannot be recreated. Yet the home has also been thoughtfully improved for the way people live today, with major updates over time to the foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, windows, roof, gutters, water heaters, kitchen, baths, and pool equipment. At the heart of the home is an updated true chef’s kitchen designed for serious cooking, gathering, and effortless entertaining, featuring Wolf, Viking, Hoshizaki, Bosch, and Samsung appliances. The lifestyle continues outdoors with an expansive backyard framed by natural landscaping, offering room to garden, gather, play, entertain, and unwind. A pool, 8-seat hot tub, built-in gas grill, commercial-grade infrared heaters surrounding the front porch, dedicated dog run, and garden shed with running water and electrical make the outdoor spaces as functional as they are inviting. A detached income-producing ADU, guest house, garage apartment, or accessory dwelling unit adds rare flexibility in the heart of East Dallas for rental income, long-term guests, private office, creative studio, or multigenerational living. Walkable to Lower Greenville Avenue dining, shopping, and neighborhood life, the property also offers easy access to White Rock Lake, SMU, Lakewood, Knox-Henderson, Dwntwn.
