It Was the Affordable American Dream in 1954 and It’s Still That Way Today

Back in the 50s after World War II, young Dallasites who were eager to own a piece of the American dream flocked to Casa View Oaks, where homebuilders like Leslie Hill, Cliff May, Hallmark Homes, and Neece and Mahaffey-Wagner built affordable homes starting at $12,000 on the east side of White Rock Lake.

Today some 70 years later, these Ranch-style homes have stood the test of time, including this 1954-built three bedroom, one and half-bath home on San Juan Avenue, just north of Ferguson Road.

In this 1,324-square-foot home, walk in to find a large open living area, beautiful hardwood floors, and plenty of character. The kitchen was renovated in 2014 and includes granite countertops, 42-inch cabinets, tile backsplash, and appliances that come with the home.

The large backyard has a privacy fence and fantastic deck with a detached two-car garage. The seller just installed a sprinkler system that gives 100 percent coverage of the front and back yards.

This home is energy efficient with a Rinnal tankless water heater, double-pane Low-E windows, and Daikin multi-zone 19-seer HVAC system.

Of course, you can’t beat Casa View for their proximity to White Rock Lake, walking and biking trails, private schools, and shopping and entertainment in Casa Linda.
