Eclectic Belmont Addition Cottage is a Hipster’s Dream Come True

Teffy Jacobs has listed an eclectic bungalow in the Belmont Addition neighborhood of East Dallas that is (a) adorable to the studs and (b) pretty darn right affordable in this market. No, this is not your cookie-cutter ranch with a Ring doorbell. The Redwood-colored charmer has a courtyard entrance, beautifully tiled fireplaces, cedar exterior, two bedrooms, glorious storage, a super-efficient kitchen, and honey-colored bamboo hardwoods.

And then there is the precious yard — an oasis of sit-friendly landscaping and lighting.

The very clean-lined traditional bungalow, with its cedar wood exterior, is nestled on a landscaped 50’ x 140’ lot offering two front driveway spaces and an abundance of mature trees, including myriad Crepe Myrtles

As you enter the courtyard-style exterior door to the premises, take in the outdoor oasis of scenic landscaping: Japanese Maple, Cypress, and more Crepe Myrtles are accented with landscape lighting. The timeless charm of the original circa 1942 home is completely intact, including an open floor plan, spacious entertaining rooms, gleaming travertine and bamboo hardwood flooring, deep molding, recessed and track lighting, fabulous marble, slate, glass, and porcelain materials throughout.

Freshly painted inside and out, the 1,778-square-foot home has been lovingly updated with refreshed landscaping, HVAC (2022), roof (2018), new piers in the living room and guest bathroom, new bamboo hardwoods in the living room, and new white marble tile in the guest bathroom (2018).

Fireplaces, Stone, Hardwoods, and More!

The foyer opens to both the primary suite and adjacent study, and also to the rear of the home. Travertine flooring leads to a spacious kitchen, capped by a 10-foot vaulted ceiling. There is track lighting and a stainless steel pendant light, all centered by a slate-surrounded fireplace, topped with a wood-carved mantle.

The kitchen also has a glass mosaic tiled backsplash, hanging pot rack, and premier stainless steel appliances, including a Capital commercial gas range, Samsung refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and an Edgestar wine cooler refrigerator.

The breakfast bar opens to the formal living-dining room, which is highlighted by built-ins, art-recessed lighting, and French doors to the outdoors. A secondary door also opens to the side deck and grounds.

The guest wing has neutral carpeting, dual sconces, a large closet, and a white marble and mosaic-tiled bath complete with a pedestal sink and a body spray shower.

The primary suite is at the opposite end of the residence from the guest suite, centered by a porcelain-surrounded fireplace, carved wood mantle, and a wall of built-in bookcases with storage. There is wiring for a flat screen.

Now here is one more incredible aspect to this home: a spacious private study with bamboo floors is off the primary suite with deep molding and windows overlooking the side grounds. For such an eclectic house, the duo master closets are huge. The porcelain-tiled master bath has it all: heated floors (yes!) duo vessel sinks, and an oversized jetted tub shower with glass-tiled accents.

We Are Talking Loaded Rooms

There is one more loaded room: the laundry utility room has a ceramic tile floor and built-ins, and opens to the side deck and grounds. It’s a perfect pet room.

The interiors are as precious as can be, but this home really scores on its magnificent exteriors.

“You will literally think there is a live-in gardener,” says listing agent Teffy Jacobs with Allie Beth Allman. The courtyard is lush with Cypress, Crepe Myrtles, and Japanese Maple trees, plus scenic string lights and landscape lighting. Long summer nights of entertaining will happen here at the wet bar with a veritable outdoor kitchen: sturdy concrete counters, stainless steel bar sink, outdoor refrigerator space, and French doors opening to the courtyard.

Finally, there is even something for Rover (besides that laundry room): a dog run lined with flagstone steps, and a grass area perfect for playtime.

Belmont Addition: One of The Most Quaint Neighborhoods

Jacobs’ listing at 6011 Llano is located in the Belmont Addition Conservation District, one of the city’s most charming and demanded neighborhoods. Tietze Park is within walking distance, as are the quaint shops and eclectic restaurants that make up the nearby Greenville Ave. area. But that’s not even the best part.

The asking price? Just $699,000.

You can see it in person this Sunday, Oct. 22, at the open house from 1 to 2:30 p.m.
