New Pinkston, And a New (To You) House? Check It Out

If you know you have high schoolers in the future, and you’ve been wanting to get into North Oak Cliff, we have news: You could have a new (to you) house and a brand-spankin’ new L.G. Pinkston High by 2021, with the former coming much sooner than that.

But you’ll need to get a move on. Homes in the secluded Stevens Park Village don’t pop up all the time, and once people get a load of the new and improved Pinkston (as well as what is happening to the historic original Pinkston building), you may kick yourself if you don’t put a call into your Realtor.

But first things first. Thursday, Dallas ISD gave everyone a quick peek at the state-of-the-art Pinkston, which will be a three-story, 226,948 square-foot building on a 20.79-acre lot at 3719 Greenleaf Street.

See? Fancy.

“This new school will house 1,000 students with future expansion capacity for an additional 500 students,” the district said in a statement. “The design scope includes athletic fields, a 1,000-seat gymnasium/storm shelter, auditorium and visual and performing arts spaces, library/media services area, a Youth & Family Center, and special areas for the auto-tech, welding, collegiate academy, JROTC, and law department, as well as science labs, and Special Education accommodations.”

The old Pinkston will house the middle school in the top wing of the building, and will eventually become another STEM school — the West Dallas STEM School, where pre-k through eighth grade will attend.

And we found a prime example of the unique architecture you can find in Stevens Park Village in this home in the Pinkston feeder pattern. Located at 2219 Barberry Drive, the 1941 home boasts Art Moderne and Midcentury Modern influences, and has benefitted from a major updating.

The sellers did a full-scale renovation of the three-bedroom, two bath home, adding more than 500 square feet.

Clever design choices obviously endeavored to marry the sensibilities of what was meant to be state-of-the-art in 1941 with what is meant to be contemporary and modern in 2019, with lots of curved lines and finish choices like exotic granite waterfall counters and a solarium dining room surrounded by windows and skylights.

Two of the three bedrooms could suit as master suites, with the original master in the main house boasting an exterior entrance and private patio, and the other prospective master suite in the new addition offering a vaulted ceiling, large windows that overlook the backyard, and a gorgeous en-suite bathroom with a freestanding tub, walk-in shower, and a walk-in closet with laundry chute.

The home is priced at $599,999, and is listed by Ryan Antisdale with Door Texas Realty.
