Walk to White Rock From This Lake Park Estates Home

More often than not, Realtor Jenny Capritta of RE/MAX DFW Associates represents not only a listing selected as this week’s Inwood Home of the Week, sponsored by Inwood National Bank, but the sellers back when they were first buyers. She can tell you what’s been done in a home without even checking her notes because she’s as familiar with that house as she is with the buyers and sellers that retain her services throughout a home’s life cycle.

Of course, that’s the case with this Lake Park Estates home located off the East Shore of White Rock Lake Park. “Lake Park Estates has long been a great value for its prime location,” Capritta says. “You’re only three blocks to White Rock Lake Park!”

You’re also a stone’s throw from The Dumpling Place, The Package Store, and Good Friends. “The best burger bar in Dallas,” Capritta shares.

Step inside this 1,806-square-foot home and the first thing you might notice is the gorgeous original hardwood floors from 1950. They’re the type of floors that sound good and feel good under your feet. That’s important.

The thing I’m especially drawn to is the working gas fireplace in this bright and spacious living room. It’s just a simple wood mantel with drywall legs and a flush brick hearth, but it looks fresh, clean, and elegant and really resonates with me.

Continuing past the living room is the large dining room with flanking built-in shelves and large picture windows, and the kitchen. The mauvy-brown tile backsplash and countertops are a little taste-specific, sure. But a similar house around the corner with more neutral countertop choices sold for $750,000; This White Rock cutie is listed for less than $600k.

The home has three bedrooms and two full baths, a nice change of pace from similar period homes that tend to have fewer bedrooms and baths. The primary bath has striking tile in a cool, pool blue color. Tastes are individual, I know, but I dig it.

The backyard of this corner lot home is expansive. First off, it’s set on a 0.268-acre lot, so that affords you a lot of room to live, work, and play.

Outdoor living courtesy of multiple deck spaces and towering trees for shade.

Make one of the two two-car garages — one attached and one detached — into a workspace or creative workshop. P.S. Both garages have 220 outlets for your Tesla(s).

And finally, play and relax in the hot tub that stays with the home.
