Historic Charm, Modern Updates: Lakewood-Area Two-Story Has It All

This incredibly cute, Lakewood-area home is priced just right. At $375,000 you’ll have access to everything you need including that lake. And downtown Dallas. And Lakewood Elementary. And fantastic restaurants, Whole Foods, and Jaram’s Doughnuts … so, basically the whole world.

The current owners are a dream, too. In addition to completely updating the interior while thoughtfully maintaining the original details of this 1930s darling, they also provided a write-up about how great the neighborhood is. It’s dog friendly and walkable and “even though they’re on Paulus they’ve been annexed by Reiger Avenue” so you’ll have access to aaaaall the block parties.

There’s a fabulous front porch where you can sip (spiked) sweet tea and wave to all the passers by, which agent Nancy Levitch pointed out is a total dream right now. You can basically host a solo social distant pandemic party every night. And silver lining, can we talk about how at least the weather is cooperating right now? Texas, you spoil us.

More fun stuff about this house? From the dining room chandelier to the kitchen cabinetry to the freaking PANELED GARAGE DOOR, these little miracle working owners took a 90-year-old house and made it feel modern. 

Conversation Starters For Your Next Zoom Dinner Party

1, The 1930s Sears & Roebuck hearth that sits in the fireplace STILL WORKS. It also stays with the house. Gasp!

2. The current owners found an ancient horseshoe in the garage leading them to believe that it used to be a stable of sorts back in the day. And not like the 1980s back in the day, but like Prohibition Era back in the day. 

Make this house with a history yours. The 1,752 square foot two-story located at 311 Paulus Avenue is listed for $375,000 by Nancy Levitch of Coldwell Banker Apex.
