Irwindell Oak Cliff Cottage Has Over $120K in Improvements with Fresh Feel

We’ve found a 1929 Irwindell cottage in Oak Cliff with over $115,000 in improvements and a totally youthful and fresh look inside. 

Our Tuesday Two Hundred at 3334 Irwindell Blvd. is situated on an elevated lot with tranquil view of trees within its Dells District neighborhood near West Jefferson Boulevard and South Westmoreland Road. Inside, the renovations are spot on, both behind-the-scenes and more visible. This home has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 1,172 square feet on one story, built in 1929. There will be two open houses this weekend on Saturday, May 5, from noon to 2 p.m. and Sunday, May 6, from 2-4 p.m. Want a sneak peek? 

From the street, this Irwindell house has classic 1929 charms. The property is close to Coombs Creek and its greenbelt, making for a lush look. It’s just over three miles north of 263-acre Kiest Park, which offers a mix of nature and sports facilities, including tennis, trails, and swimming.

The owners made a lot of smart choices, like new electrical work, plumbing, low-E windows, tankless water heater, 12-inch attic insulation, recessed lights, and roof. All of that adds big bottom-line value and functionality to the house. But perhaps the smartest is adding a second bathroom, a big buyer want. 

The floorplan is classic for a Tudor in this neighborhood with two entrances from the front porch, one to the living room and the other to the front bedroom. There is a front living room with an original fireplace — now decorative — and hardwood floors that carry throughout the house. The living room leads to the dining room, then kitchen, and bedrooms are to the left. 

The kitchen is totally redesigned with large-format tile floor, granite countertops, white cabinets, and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range. Walls of windows and a narrow layout make for an unusual space, but they’ve made it work. 

Both bedrooms are good-sized and the original bathroom is totally renovated. The windows really have their opportunity to shine in these rooms. 

The large backyard includes a shed there is plenty of space to add a garage or carport.  

This home was listed April 24 by Angela Downes with Virginia Cook Realtors for $279,000.
