Post-COVID, house hunters find themselves with pretty specific must-haves, born of being at home… a lot. Having a home office is certainly up there on the list. A dedicated space where you can get down to business without ironing anything, enduring another excruciating rush hour, or having to risk a chance encounter with ol’ Randy the Rambler at the microwave.

This 1925 historical gem takes the ‘home office’ concept to the next level – it’s both a three-bedroom, three-bath home or a unique and significant office. In the heart of State Thomas is where you’ll find 2612 Thomas Avenue, an American Foursquare, post-Victorian style, similar to the Prairie architecture pioneered by Frank Lloyd Wright.

The State Thomas neighborhood contains the largest collection of Victorian-era homes remaining in Dallas. The establishment of the region as a Special Purpose District in 1986 helped make it one of the first new urbanist regions in the city.

Matthew Edwards with Dave Perry-Miller’s Preston Center office has the home both for sale ($2,695,000) and for lease ($12,000/month). It’s just a matter of who finds it first and what their needs are.

“This is a unique opportunity because it can be sold as Commercial, Residential, or both,” Edwards says. “As you can see, it’s been renovated with all of the Historical Preservation standards in place. And there’s a $200,000 allowance to make some updates with an acceptable offer. I can see someone with an art gallery, a law firm, or a tech company making great use of these spaces. It’s also a wonderful opportunity for a single family to enjoy this thriving mixed-use area, where everything, including several parks, sporting venues, the Arts District, and easy highway access – are at your fingertips.”

Edwards continues, “My favorite features include the natural light and beautiful trees, two fireplaces and three living areas, a great bonus room on the third floor, and ample private parking behind the property. But especially the strong sense of community that comes from seeing your neighbors out and about all the time.”
