Let Your Tale Unfold in This Stonewall Terrace Storybook Cottage

Start your next chapter in this picture-perfect Stonewall Terrace storybook cottage. It’s charming, completely remodeled, and with something we all want now, an accessory dwelling unit! There’s even a storage shed that could be the most adorable studio, home office, or playhouse. This is so much more than a home. It’s a flawless little compound with a secret garden, and it’s in a terrific location.

Stonewall Terrace is an East Dallas neighborhood tucked just south of Mockingbird Lane, east of Greenville Avenue, west of Abrams Road, and a block from Mockingbird Elementary. It has a Walk Score of 71, which is huge for a Dallas neighborhood.

This charming Stonewall Terrace storybook cottage has been updated with regard to its 1940s origins. There are deep crosshead moldings above windows and doorways and beautiful oak hardwood floors throughout the 1,393 square foot, two-bedroom, two-bathroom home.

It appears that years ago, a front-facing garage was professionally enclosed to create a home office with an enormous window, a dramatic vaulted ceiling, and a sliding French door. Remember you have a compound here with extra space in the ADU so if your next chapter includes the pitter patter of little feet, this could easily become a nursery.

This kitchen is giving Instagram vibes and making me want to take a sledgehammer to mine! From the warm terracotta tile floors to the two-tone cabinetry with brass hardware and the on-trend wagon wheel light fixture, I want it all.  

What’s going to steal your heart, however, is the flagstone courtyard and secret garden of this Stonewall Terrace storybook cottage. There are private gathering areas as well as plenty of open space for entertaining, and of course, there is the ADU!  The 491-square-foot treetop guest quarters are compact yet have every necessity, including a washer and dryer. Existing ADUs are an important feature of any property today because they provide not only guest space or a soft landing for your college kid but are also ideal for renting out and offsetting that mortgage payment. 

As if this ideal compound could not get better, there are two large bonus rooms below the ADU space connected by a half bath. Now, you can convert these to a garage, but why do that when you can have yet another bedroom or a home office? There is quite simply limitless potential on this property for every chapter of your tale to unfold beautifully.
