Keep It Cool And Custom In This Updated OG Oak Cliff Suburb

What a cute little house in the original Oak Cliff suburbs.

Back in the 1950s and 1960s, says Dave Perry-Miller’s DeCarla Anderson, when you got a promotion at the office and started a family, you headed to Oak Park Estates and Druid Hills. Here you would buy a lot and build your dream home.

Today, those suburbs are getting a resurgence. Your dollar goes a little farther out there – the custom home at 2011 Ebbtide is just shy of 2,300 square feet with two stories and a generous backyard. Plus, it’s listed at $349,900.

It’s a four-bedroom home, too.

The primary bedroom is downstairs with an en-suite bathroom and the three remaining bedrooms upstairs with their own bathroom. There’s an upgraded bonus room up there as well.

The sellers recently installed a mini-split HVAC, meaning every room is zoned and can be heated and cooled separately. It’s super energy-efficient and allows you greater control over your energy bills.

There’s another unique feature in this home that’s great for dog lovers. Custom dog doors leading from the primary closet to the utility room and then on outdoors.

It’s designed so that during the night the dogs can let themselves out whenever they need to go. (Or if you’re hosting and need to keep them away from your dinner party, they still have an opportunity to go to the bathroom while you work on your witty banter and courtesy laugh.)

The garage was converted, too, so there’s a big ol’ utility room that can also house a drying rack, treadmill, mop bucket, etc.

Oak Park Estates and Druid Hills have gentle rolling topography, large trees, and Kiest Park and Kiest Park Nature Preserve both within walking distance. Oak Cliff, Bishop Arts, and downtown Dallas are right up the road. But for you, the prestigious new owners of Ebbtide, you’ll be tucked in a quiet little spot where you can hop into the melee as you please.
