The Craftsman at 937 N. Windomere Ave. is exceptional in every way, beautifully maintained from its 1921 construction, and tastefully renovated with period-appropriate details.

This home has four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, one half bathroom, and 3,404 square feet on two stories.

Located in the Kings Highway Conservation District in the Oak Cliff Annex neighborhood, the home has everything the discerning buyer wants in today’s amenities while retaining the charm of the property’s original design integrity. The living room, dining room, and kitchen now have gorgeous vaulted ceilings, and hardwoods flow through all common areas and in bedrooms. Large windows in almost every room flood the space with natural light, and the color palette is authentic to the era. The kitchen is a dream, with light sage green cabinets, granite counters, farm sink, large island with seating, pot filler, and stainless steel appliances, including a commercial-grade gas range. The master is large, with desk area with built in bookshelves and a desk, a huge walk-in closet with an organization system, and an ensuite bathroom with deep soaker tub, frameless glass shower, and dual sinks on a large vanity.
