You Don’t Want to Miss This Tudor Cottage in The Kings Highway Conservation District

In 1988, the Kings Highway Conservation District was the first to be formed in Dallas and only the second in the state. Neighbors became alarmed when an apartment building was erected on Kings Highway and decided to take action to preserve their neighborhood’s character. Sound familiar?

With city officials pushing density, buying a home in a conservation or historic district may soon be the only way to have any assurance of life in a single-family neighborhood. As that realization dawns, finding a home in one of the existing 21 conservation districts may soon become difficult. So, you may want to snatch up this adorable Tudor cottage before anyone else because it is a gem.

This 1925 Tudor cottage is in the heart of the Kings Highway Conservation District and is completely move-in ready. The 2,152-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a guest cottage and pool has been an incredibly successful investment property for a couple of years.  

Engel & Völkers listing agent Timothy Edmond lives two doors down. Edmond moved to Dallas only two years ago and, of course, as a Realtor, had the inside skinny on every area.

“We fell in love with Oak Cliff and knew this was the neighborhood we wanted to be in,” Edmonds said. “Everything is close by. It’s minutes from the Bishop Arts District, Stevens Park Golf Course, and downtown Dallas.”

The property has always been beautifully maintained and appropriately updated without diluting its original charm. The guest cottage, a significant asset, provides a private sanctuary for visiting family and friends. This one offers a full kitchen, bathroom, and laundry, making it a fully functional and independent living space. 

As if the Kings Highway Conservation District designation is not enough of a draw, Kings Highway from West Davis to Montlclair was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994 due to the many turn-of-the-century buildings here. If you are looking for an area with a rich historical character, you’ve found it.

Edmond has this terrific Tudor cottage in the Kings Highway Conservation District at 930 N. Clinton Ave., available for $899,000.00. Remember I said it is move-in ready. All of the furnishings can be negotiated into the deal for the right price! These sorts of opportunities don’t come along often.
