Friday Four Hundred: A Tudor That Feels Modern, Sleek, And Still Has Tons of Great Details? And in Hollywood Heights, to Boot!
Share News:
We feature around five or six great homes every week, and some listings are better than others. I have my favorites, and I’m allowed to pick and choose. It’s a privilege that comes with writing for the top real estate blog in Dallas.
Now, we’ve featured some great homes here on CandysDirt.com this week. But this house is my favorite. I LOVE THIS HOUSE! If I were in the market for a home, I would be making an offer right this very second. No, wait — I would have made a full-price offer YESTERDAY. That’s how much I love this house.
You’re waiting for me to tell you the address, aren’t you? But, you see, I am almost so in love with this house that I don’t want to share it with you. I mean, this is the cutest Tudor I have ever seen, and the interiors are just my style — colorful, but not overbearing, with well-curated furniture and bright pop art — with tons of great details that will have you peeking around every corner to make sure you didn’t miss something.
OK, it would be cruel if I didn’t share, so I’ll tell you the deets: This amazing Hollywood Heights three-bedroom, two-bath tudor is listed by David Bush Realtors for $425,000. It has a tidy 1,723 square feet and is updated better than Kim Kardashian’s Twitter feed. I love every room more than the last in this home, and the lucky buyer of 710 Cordova had better treat it right!
Here are a few things that had me at hello: I love the frame-mounted sliding doors that separate the living and dining rooms, as well as the bed and bath of the master suite. Even though this home has a bevy of finishes and textures, nothing feels out of place. And I love the use of dark woods in the living area, and especially in the kitchen. It makes the home feel cozy and warm without feeling claustrophobic or dark. And for a galley kitchen, this commissary feels open.
The master suite is to die for. It has a separate office/nursery/sitting room attached to the bedroom, and the master bath is renovated without losing all character. Again, I love the paint colors and that the homeowner chose to paint the ceiling. It does make the rooms feel cozy and insulated.
A great feature about the master bath, besides that awesome vanity, is that the shower and the toilet are across the room from one another. There’s nothing worse than taking a shower right next to your spouse while they’re on the loo. In fact, it’s the worst.
Also — and this is just beyond rad — the master bath opens up via two full-light doors to the covered patio. How amazing is that? I bet that would be perfect in spring, after taking a nice hot shower, to don your robe and sit out on the back patio for a spell.
The backyard is gorgeous, too, but small. If you’re not into gardening, this is the perfect size. Large enough to enjoy but not so big that it’s difficult to maintain. Really, this is a great, great house. It’s got me smitten! I love it so much that I’m going to put up every one of these pictures on my Pinterest boards! What about you?

Yep. This is definitely my favorite home this week! Might even be my favorite home this month!
Ooh! Can I haz this house?? Love the front porch, the sliding dining room doors, the kitchen, the bathroom, the back porch. Man, I'd gladly give up a big yard for this cutie pie!

Joanna, Walter says this the perfect house for us to downsize to!
The buyers (my clients) are in love with the house! They moved in last week and are so appreciative of all the nice comments the house has received. The previous owners (my clients) Glenn and Heather Comtois did all the remodeling themselves. It was a perfect property, thank you for featuring it.
PS: I love the master bath opening out to fresh air. In fact, more bathrooms should have this feature – FRESH AIR!

I've always been a fan of Hollywood Heights and this is one of the best I've seen. Who did the remodel? This is also in the Lakewood Elementary district and feeds into International Baccalaureate secondary schools (Long Middle and Woodrow Wilson High).

Great neighborhood!
