Prairie-Style JLD Custom Home in Belmont Addition Blends in With Neighborhood

Time and again, Jeff Dworkin has proven that you can build a new home in a mature neighborhood and still respect the surrounding architecture. His homes don’t look like cavernous, lot-gobbling McMansions. Instead they are charming, hearkening to the days when front porches were made for gathering, when neighbors traveled down sidewalks out of necessity, and tradesmen made homes into works of art.

If you love Arts and Crafts homes, Prairie-style two-stories, and those designs flecked with warm nostalgia of a simpler time, then you’ll love this two-story design by JLD Custom Homes. Not only does it look in tune with its almost 100-year-old neighbors, but it has eco-friendly updates that will keep your energy bills in check. It definitely has all the makings of a High Caliber Home of the Week.

Located inside the Belmont Addition, 5932 Richmond is a fabulous example of the kind of quality of architecture and construction you can expect in a JLD Custom Home. This brand is one of our CandysDirt.com Approved Builders — an exclusive group of vetted custom home builders — and has build some of the savviest green homes in all of Dallas. This particular home is in an incredibly walkable neighborhood. No lie: Get a bike and you may never need to drive again. Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, restaurants and retail are all within a mile.

This listing is marketed by Virginia Cook agent Dan Cohn for $679,900. Considering the excellent location and top-quality finish-out, that’s a great price. Besides an absolutely classic design, you get three bedrooms, three full baths, a two-car garage, a study, a family room, and a 2,830-square-foot floor plan that is perfect for a family.

The eat-in kitchen is perfect for a home chef, with a tidy little island, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, copious cupboards, and a butler’s pantry that would make a great coffee bar. Not only is there a breakfast bar, but there’s also a breakfast nook that is perfect for homework and casual meals.

Just off the kitchen is the family room, which has a stone fireplace and a nice wooden mantle. There are tons of windows — all energy efficient, low-e glass — that look out to the spacious backyard. Just off the family room and kitchen is a large utility room, and even further is the over-sized covered porch.

Upstairs, the master bedroom runs the length of the home, measuring in at 17 x 13 — a healthy size for sure. I do love the many windows in this home, but the bedroom is a little bland. I’m sure you could easily jazz it up with some paint and accessories.

It’s the master bath that will make you tingle all over, though. The five-piece bathroom is positively gigantic, and includes a huge double vanity, jetted tub, and large shower. You get walk-in closets, too, as well as cabinets all over the joint.

What’s also fantastic about this listing is the oversized back porch. The homeowner wanted a larger entertainment area, so they doubled the size of this backyard oasis, which is fantastic for lovely days like today when you just want to do everything outside. I mean, can you imagine anything better? The log is enormous, too, at 185 feet deep. If it tickles your fancy, you could add a pool if you want.
