This Craftsman Foursquare in Munger Place Is Truly Head-Turning

In East Dallas, areas like the Swiss Avenue Historic District and Munger Place hold some of the most distinguished collections of early 20th-century architecture. The latter was established in 1905 by prominent real-estate developer Robert Munger and now serves as a showcase for some of the most incredible movements in the canon of American architecture. Styles you will see in this area include Tudor, High Prairie, Craftsman, and much more.

For this week’s Inwood Home of the Week sponsored by Inwood National Bank, we are so excited to feature a Craftsman Foursquare in this awe-inspiring area. This 3,592-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home is a must-see for anyone who appreciates quality classic home architecture.

From the curb, the home exudes that quaint Americana aesthetic. The wraparound porch and pillar-clad façade seem straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting.

Step inside and the interior is truly astounding. With a foursquare floor plan, the home is spacious with smartly situated rooms throughout.

The first floor features an incredible formal living area with a picturesque fireplace. Also, the built-ins in this room are intricate and elegant. And unless you’re already familiar with that trademark fireplace flanked by window pane cabinets and bookshelves, you’d never guess this home at 5004 Tremont Street was constructed more than 100 years ago. Beautiful enhancements and modern updates pop out at you from every turn.

Then, the home opens up to formal and informal dining areas. The formal features a wall of stunning windows set against a modern starburst chandelier.

Also, the first level features a huge recreation room, perfect for family movies or entertaining guests.

The previous owners completely renovated the kitchen. Here, the design pays homage to the era with exquisite shiplap paneling, a deco backsplash, leathered granite counters, a Viking gas stove, and a built-in refrigerator. The area revolves around an enormous eat-in bar, making it the perfect place for any host to thrive.

The primary bedroom is enormous. It is sectioned into sleeping quarters and a separate flex space, perfect for a home office. The primary bathroom features dual vanities, an updated subway-tiled shower, and an immaculate design throughout. The renovation here is as tasteful as it is timeless.

The chimney extends to the second floor where a beautiful upstairs living area centers around another handsome fireplace. The second level opens up with an abundance of other sitting rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms – each one in excellent shape.

Then, the backyard is a dream escape. In fact, luxury extras are all within reach including a sensational heated saltwater pool, spa, sitting area, and lounge space. Also, all the pool equipment is brand new.

Those who love incredible Craftsman architecture will be truly head over heels for this Munger Place gem.
