Oak Cliff House Offers 1920s Charm, Modern Updates, and Affordable Price
Share News:
There’s no question that many of North Texas’ older homes are filled with charm.
With that charm can come both a huge headache and a huge money drain to bring it up to contemporary living standards. We have become accustomed to certain things, haven’t we?
Or, if homeowners are fortunate to find a charm-filled house with all the modern amenities, the price tag is out of range. The headache to overseeing it all could become a headache of a different order.
Plus, it could be out in the middle of nowhere, miles from civilization, or even a regular grocery store. Nothing fancy, mind you, but a family needs its milk, eggs, and bread.
Well, charm-seekers wanting 2024-style living, check this out. The north Oak Cliff abode at 1132 S. Marlborough Ave. in Dallas could solve all the problems. Even though it was built in 1925, this adorable house comes with modern conveniences and is listed at $365,000.
“The home is this really nice blend of 1920s construction, but the interior has been completely modernized,” said listing agent Alexandra Brady with the O’Brien Property Group of Dave Perry Miller and Associates.
Updates, Updates and More
Brady can list the number of updates made, too. First, the house was taken back to the studs in 2019. Then the house was equipped with such modern luxuries as a kitchen island, a pot filler, a tankless water heater, and that on-trend open concept layout. In addition, that renovation list includes windows, gutters, bathroom tile, and engineered wood flooring.
In its 1,320 square feet, the house features a built-in black stainless gas range and appliances, a farmhouse sink, and custom, soft-close cabinets. The walk-in laundry provides a suitable place for not only laundry, but also the family pet since it comes with a door to the outside.
Both bathrooms feature trendy new tiles, and the three bedrooms offer the flexibility of being used as office space. The primary bedroom is unusual for a 1925 house. Not only is there a walk-in closet, but a door conveniently opens onto a private deck, perfect for taking morning coffee.
“All of that’s rare for 1920s construction,” Brady said.
Looking at Location
The current homeowner’s green thumb is on display with the house’s refreshed landscaping and crisp white trim. The treed backyard offers shade and space for outdoor entertaining in a great neighborhood. According to the Realtor, the house is situated less than two miles from Bishop Arts District’s unique restaurants, boutiques and galleries and is about the same distance to the TyPo area.
“It mirrors what I love about all of Oak Cliff,” Brady said. “It’s diverse, vibrant, and historic.”
The 1925 house with its terrific location, historic character, modern updates, and competitive price, she said, sits ready for its next owner.
“It’s turnkey,” Brady said. “It’s a really great house.”
