We Don’t Usually Do This — But This Winnetka Heights Bungalow Is Worth a Second Look

There are houses, and then there are houses that stop you on the sidewalk, make you slow the car, and have you texting your agent before you’ve even pulled away. The newly refreshed listing at 214 S Montclair Ave. in Winnetka Heights is the latter, and it’s so nice that we just had to show it twice. So, pull out your phone and pull up your agent’s number.
Listed by Allie Beth Allman agent Susan Bradley, this airplane bungalow (a gorgeous subcategory and style under the Craftsman umbrella) is already turning heads. The style gets its name from the oversized dormer that crowns the roofline like a cockpit, complete with deep overhangs and those wide, generous eaves that give the whole structure a sense of flight and whimsy. It is, in a word, darling.
At the perfect size, the home has been thoughtfully refreshed inside and out with fresh paint, professionally staged interiors, and beautifully updated landscaping. The curb appeal on this tree-lined street is already working overtime.
Step inside and you’ll find original pine flooring underfoot and oversized windows outfitted with original, wavy-rolled glass. Gorgeous, filtered light fills every room, while keeping every bit of the home’s historical soul and a nod to the neighborhood intact. The windows weren’t just chosen for their looks, either. The house was designed for cross-ventilation, which means it breathes beautifully.
A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living area, and the open connection between it and the kitchen gives the layout a natural, easy flow that’s perfect for everyday living and entertaining.
The first floor is wonderfully versatile. The dining and living areas are interchangeable depending on your lifestyle. A fourth bedroom has been staged as a home office, but it works equally well as a guest suite, playroom, or study.
The downstairs primary suite features a large bath with a separate shower and tub. Whether you’re a young family looking to buy your first home, an empty nester looking for your landing pad, or somewhere in between, the layout bends to your life.
Out back, the deep, garage-free yard is a genuine blank canvas that’s hard to find in the middle of the city. There’s already a deck, raised garden beds, and a small greenhouse. And don’t forget the storage shed. Plus, there’s a perfect spot for a stone patio and fire pit. Add a pool. Add a garage. Or just keep it as the entertainer’s dream it already is. This Montclair Avenue home is your masterpiece waiting to be painted.
And who can forget about the location? Winnetka Heights is one of Oak Cliff’s most beloved historic neighborhoods, with a plethora of charm and tucked close to Bishop Arts, Stevens Park Golf Course, Cedar Crest Golf Course, the Dallas Zoo, TyPo shopping, Kevin Sloan Park, and downtown Dallas. It has it all.
