Tuesday Two Hundred: Home For a Hip Family in Casa Linda Forest

Maryam and Jacob Salassi have such a fantastic little home in Casa Linda Forest. Their adorable abode, the perfect home for the two creative Millennials and their sweet little girl — Maryam is a blogger, photographer, and owner of Pouf: A Blowout Salon, Jacob is a software engineer and cyclist, and Margaux, 3, is just awesome — was just featured on Our Style Stories. Their house, a three-bedroom, two-bath post-war traditional, is just pinch-your-cheeks cute!

And after just three days on the market, it is now under contract!

I love the Salassi’s style — edgy and bright with vintage touches. This home is a cute one, too, for those who love original details. Built in 1960, this home has the original kitchen cabinets and two pink Daltile bathrooms. Original hardwood floors are in fantastic shape, and the home also has two living areas, one of which is perfect as a playroom. The Salassis use bold, graphic prints and clean lines to make the space look much larger.

With 1,578 square feet, a great backyard, and a detached two-car garage, this home is perfect for a young family or someone who wants to have access to all the great neighborhood spots (the Dallas Arboretum, Casa Linda Plaza, White Rock Lake) while still enjoying the rather secluded feel this neighborhood offers. Marketed by Keller Williams Elite agent Vicki White, 8931 Stanwood is priced at $209,000.

Besides being right down Lakeland from the Fraternal Order of Eagles (love that place!), this neighborhood has so much character, and 8931 Stanwood is a wonderful example of that, From the funky teal front door to the picture-perfect living room, every little space and nook in this room is cozy.

You’ll love the backyard, too, which has a recent wood fence, a fantastic little patio, and a large grassy area for kids to run and play. Add a nice play set with a fort and you’ve got hours of built-in amusement! Vicki says the exterior paint is fresh, too, and the electrical system has been updated as well, making this house both practical and adorable. Don’t you think this home is just sweet as can be?
