Seriously Adorable, Classic-With-a-Twist Cottage West of Highland Park

In real estate, descriptive words like cozy and charming are severely overused and oftentimes code for a home that is too small and/or in need of serious updates. Such is not the case when describing 3622 S. Versailles Avenue because it’s absolutely delightful in every single way. 

Located in La Foy Place, on the cusp of Highland Park, 3622 S. Versailles Avenue is a 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage that has been completely and lovingly renovated. 

The curb appeal, with its meticulously landscaped front yard, mature trees, and oversized stone pavers, is seriously adorable. The white brick exterior paired with the coordinated black front door and shutters is a classic color combination that never goes out of style. Even the placement of the house numbers is a fun twist. All in all, it offers clues to what you can expect once you cross the threshold. 

Upon entering, you’ll immediately notice the openness of the living and dining areas as natural light streams through multiple windows, giving the space a light, airy feel. A wood-burning fireplace defines the elegant seating area and hardwood floors extend throughout. 

The sizable dining area can accommodate a six- to eight-top dining table and leads directly to the galley kitchen featuring Bosch appliances, custom white cabinets, an apron sink, and quartz countertops. The timeless black-and-white color combination is repeated in the chevron backsplash. 

Hardwood floors extend into the primary suite and the updated ensuite bath features black-and-white, geometric-patterned ceramic flooring and a tiled shower nook. California Closets designed the enormous walk-in closet, maximizing every inch of the space, and French doors provide more natural lighting and direct access to the back deck. 

The second bedroom includes two closets and also features hardwood floors and access to the back deck making it the perfect guest bedroom, private office, or fitness room. Just across the hallway, the second full bath has also been remodeled and continues the classic black-and-white theme.

An oasis in the city center, the wood deck, beautifully manicured backyard, mature trees, and an automatic privacy gate, are perfect for enjoying solo or entertaining guests. 

A dynamic community dating back to 1942, La Foy Place is just outside Highland Park ISD, which translates to the most delightful, yet more attainable homes in the area. Here, residents enjoy a walkable neighborhood with tree-lined streets and tidy yards, plus the added benefit of easy access to the Dallas North Tollway, Love Field, and downtown Dallas. Of course, being Highland Park adjacent means smart home buyers also enjoy proximity to the historic, open-air Highland Park Village, Dallas’ premier luxury retail and fine dining mecca, as well as the serene Flippen Park with its romantic, picturesque gazebo — a popular landmark for engagement and wedding photos.
