5800 Palo Pinto IHOTW

How about living with a little charm in your life every single day? And who says that if you love in Dallas, you cannot get an historical home of yesteryear that evokes F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald in every corner?

Take a look at this circa 1926 Craftsman on a huge, .21 acre lot in the heart of East Dallas that is ripe with thick oak trees, bushes and brush. That porch with an old-fashioned, hanging swing — be still my heart! — this is the style of home Milennials crave. You get an open floor plan with oodles of natural sunlight, original hardwoods in perfect condition, bow bay windows, transoms, and high, airy ceilings.

There are two living areas, three bedrooms, two full baths. The master bath sports a deep soaking jacuzzi tub, and both baths are updated. The backyard has a deck and plenty of room for the kids to romp, and then there is the garage.

Because I am just so feeling a pilates class on that verdant green grass. Also of note: this neighborhood has sidewalks, so you can push the stroller, the kids can bike, and the adults can walk to their hearts’ content. This house would do the folks at this week’s CNU Conference proud.

    This is not on a half acre lot. More like .2 acres.
