Clean and Simple Outside, Simply Elegant Inside

This week’s Inwood Home of the Week, sponsored by Inwood National Bank, is a real surprising little gem near historic downtown Carrollton. Located not too far from the city’s first homestead, this simple white wooden structure was built in 1951 when the Dallas County town had just a few thousand residents.

This sweet-looking home is listed by Jenny Capritta of RE/MAX DFW Associates. But don’t judge a book by its cover. Renovated by Alpha Pack Construction, the interior has the WOW factor reminiscent of an HGTV remodel.

Capritta says this post-WW2-era home is thought to be one of the neighborhood’s original developer’s personal residence. (Unfortunately, digging around the DMN archives didn’t offer me more than an old car listed for sale back in the 80’s, but I love challenge anyway.)

“Known for his cedar wrapped homes on expansive lots, this home’s extensive rejuvenation offers a new roof, new windows, and an inviting front entry with an aqua door,” Capritta says. Love an aqua door!

Inside soak in the ambient natural light that highlights the soft pallet throughout with luxury vinyl plank floors, a completely updated kitchen, and a split primary suite that offers a quite retreat from kiddos or multi-generation household. 

This 1,735-square-foot home with three bedrooms and two baths sits on 0.37-acre corner lot near the coveted Carrollton Historic District. That means you can enjoy the nearby Splash Park, Josey Ranch Sports Complex with trails, and the historic square with an array of festivals, merchant shops, restaurants and pubs.

Jenny Capritta of RE/MAX DFW Associates has listed 1713 Denton Drive for $395,000.
