An M Streets Cottage That Whispers Those Three Words Buyers Love

The M Streets are one of the most talked about neighborhoods in Dallas and have been for decades. Majestic oak and pecan trees shade streets featuring historic Tudor Revival, Colonial and Craftsman homes. It is beautifully intact reflecting its 1923 roots. This is due to efforts, led by the neighbors, to create a conservation district ordinance that would guarantee the architectural integrity would not be lost. In 2003 M Streets East Conservation District became the ninth conservation district in Dallas. What this means is the character will remain intact, with no threat of a giant Lego box of a house popping up next door. This makes conservation districts an extremely sought-after place to find a home. We’ve got a gem for you!

This Minimal Traditional cottage is in the heart of Greenland Hills. Don’t get confused. The M Streets East Conservation District is part of the Greenland Hills Addition, so you are likely to hear both names when house hunting. It was built in the 1940s and is 1,668 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and it has the three words every buyer wants to hear: remodeled, updated, and expanded. We all want original restored hardwoods but we also want upgrades like attic insulation and a new HVAC system. This adorable Minimal Traditional cottage has it all.
