An Oak Cliff Colonial Perfect for a Ralph Lauren Commercial

 

Our Inwood National Bank Home of the Week is an Oak Cliff Colonial that is a perfect vision of genteel American living. It’s beautifully restored and styled with timeless good taste. We think it would be an ideal location for a Ralph Lauren commercial, so location scouts take note! The two-story home is located in Stevens Park Estates at 1939 West Colorado Boulevard and listed by Jessica Benson of Door Texas Realty for $1.1 million.

“The sellers did a lot of restoration and renovation, maintaining the architectural detail and staying true to the original style,” Benson said. “It’s one of those homes where even the beautiful photos don’t do it justice.”

Anchored by a spectacular curved entry staircase, there are four bedrooms and three bathrooms in 3,272-square-foot home. Despite having a traditional layout, there is a seamless flow from room to room that still allows for privacy.

 

The beauty is not just skin deep in this house. New gas lines have been run, all of the electrical wiring and plumbing is new, and there are two new air conditioning condensers.

The kitchen was completely renovated to fit with the original architecture and of course has gorgeous Carrera marble counters, custom woodwork, and all the commercial-grade appliances every cook loves. It was also left as a traditional self-contained space and we can only say, “bravo.” Clearly defined rooms are back in style and according to The New York Times, the closed kitchen is making a comeback for a number of reasons. It’s practical and sensible — who wants to watch the dirty dishes pile up when you’re trying to enjoy after dinner conversation?

The large master bedroom suite has a fireplace, a sitting area and best of all a private roof deck that overlooks both front and back yards and sits atop the light filled sunroom that houses the study.

What a backyard! Completely designed and installed by the present owners, it’s a lush expanse with a heated dipping pool and the piece de resistance — a guest house complete with kitchenette. Remember this could also be a great Airbnb rental and offset your mortgage payments! If this colonial is your dream home, get moving — we just heard two offers have been submitted!
