No Swimming Upstream With This Salmon Drive Remodel

Share News:

Surprise! This is our second featured property of the week from Compass Real Estate’s Jenni Stolarski. She’s killing it over in Oak Cliff, per usual. This little cottage is located at 823 Salmon Drive and it’s so crisp and clean and STILL feels cozy and thoughtful and just plain lovely.

Completely remodeled in 2018, the ceilings were raised, and the most beautiful bracing was put in place. It looks delicate and so gloriously modern. It accents the living, dining, and kitchen and is a nod to the fact that, as Stolarski said, this remodeler knew what they were doing.

One thing you can’t see, but Stolarski called out, is the most perfectly pristine garage. Stolarski said there’s never even been a car parked in there.

Other things to love about this house? Basically every detail. The primary bathroom is huge, and the white tiles and white walls throughout make it the perfect backdrop for all your art and furnishings.

There’s just one more story about 823 Salmon Drive that has to be told.

Stolarski helped this couple buy it. Okay, not a HUGE story, right? But it is when you hear how she did it.

The couple had been looking for a home and just couldn’t find anything. They noticed this one across the street. It didn’t look anything like this at the time, but there was work being done over there. Lots of work. But still no For Sale sign or Coming Soon or even a hint that it would be hitting the market. Well, as Stolarski put it, she hauled her butt over there and peeked in the window. The old windows that were caked with 17 years of living.

She finally spotted the permit and wrote down the name and number on it. She gave the guy a call and helped her clients negotiate the purchase. Now THAT’S an amazing agent and it’s no surprise that when it came time to move on, this couple picked up the phone and Stolarski was on the other end.

It truly is such a modern stunner set inside 1930s construction. If you’d like to see more of the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home at 823 Salmon Drive, head here. Stolarski has it listed for $575,000.
