The Loveliest Little House By The Lake Is Waiting for You, My Lovelies

When the owners of this adorable East Dallas single-story moved in in 2020, the home was already impeccably updated. Never ones to shy away from a challenge though, they said, “I’ll take your remodel and raise you one.”

They added high end finishes throughout, upgraded the appliances to Italian-made Fulgor Milano appliances, and created an impressive 20-foot backyard deck with a built-in Green Egg that stays with the house. Like seriously, this backyard is adorable and how that grass is so green, I’ll never know. Surrounding your private oasis there’s an upgraded wrought iron fence and that’s just the very, very beginning of the impressive updates in this home.

How about the fact that it’s full foam insulation? With this heat? How lovely is that on you, your family, and your energy bills? It also has double-paned windows and custom roller shades. (All the rage. Way rager than wood blinds though I’m not trying to start a window-covering war.)

On the inside you’ll find white oak flooring, an open kitchen with custom cabinetry, modern light fixtures, and surprisingly big rooms. It’s as cute and chic and fresh as it can be and if you find a taller blade of pampas grass, call me.

On how to describe this home, Ebby Halliday’s Rene Barrera said it best – it’s gorgeous and I freaking love it. Killer quote, right?

Now, I love East Dallas, and Barrera loves East Dallas, and this home is in East Dallas — with all the things to love right nearby. We’re talking White Rock Lake, the Arboretum, and Ridgewood Park Rec Center and Splashpad. There are two legendary burger spots here, Jake’s and Keller’s, THE place for crepes, Latin Deli, and Barrera’s top pick for French fries — Lakehouse, a super casual, very chill little restaurant and bar literally right off the trail. Oh, and don’t forget the very recently opened Pull Through Coffee, an extension of Dallas Bike Works.

If you’d like to see everything this incredible home and East Dallas have to offer, stop by the open house slated this Sunday, August 20 from 2 to 4 p.m. Rene Barrera has 7226 Clemson Drive listed for $765,000.
