Friday Five Hundred: Looking For a Ranch With Drama? Feast Your Eyes on This Bob-O-Link Downs Home!

By Joanna England / October 5, 2012 /

Seriously, 6623 Winton has so much character and really, tons of DRAMA! This home has been completely renovated from top to bottom and even inside out (check out that stone pathway!) and feels thoroughly modern. You get Lakewood schools (Dallas ISD) and 2,456 square feet for just $574,900.

Thursday Three Hundred: Caruth Terrace 1955 Time Warp For Sale, And You Can Tour The Ranch on Sunday

By Joanna England / September 27, 2012 /

Sometimes you see traces of what an older home used to look like through the slick veneer of fresh paint and new flooring. Perhaps the cabinets in the kitchen get a refacing and the paneling in a bedroom is stripped and recoated, but under decades of haphazard updating is a mystery. If the anthropologist in…

Wishlist Wednesday: I Love This Lakewood 1930s Two Story, But Where Are All The Photos?

By Joanna England / September 19, 2012 /

UPDATE: Scott Carlson himself points out the updated listing in the comments. There are several gorgeous photos of the property! Check them out!

I can’t really call it “House Porn” if there’s only one photo, right? I guess you’ll have to wait for an open house to see the insides of 2605 Winsted, an amazing Art Deco two-story that was built in 1939.

As the listing from our fine friends at Scott Carlson tells us, this home is considered a bona fide Art Deco design, all 3,374 square feet of it. The house, which sits on a little less than half an acre, was listed just yesterday. Considering the view this amazing abode has of Tokalon Park, and it’s proximity to everything everyone loves about Lakewood, I doubt this beauty will be on the market for long.

Last week’s Tuesday Two Hundred was a super-modern and sleek one-bedroom, one-bath townhome/bachelor pad on Cole Avenue. This week’s Tuesday $200K is also perfect for a bachelor, especially one who would prefer to have an office and a couple of closets.

Tuesday Two Hundred: Back to School on The Brain? University Terrace 3 Bedroom is Ready For a Young Family

By Joanna England / August 21, 2012 /

Tax-free weekend has come and gone, and the new school year looms like the dark clouds above us. Well, at least that’s the case if you’re young enough to be heading back to school. I’m sure there are several mothers and fathers and caregivers out there that are intensely delighted about the impending school year.

Perhaps, though, there’s a family out there that is craving more space, whose young tribe needs a home with room to stretch and play in a great Dallas ISD attendence zone, to boot. For those kind of needs, I think University Terrace is a perfect neighborhood. This quiet enclave of ranch homes sandwiched by Northwest Highway and DART’s Blue Line tracks is full of great properties that have been meticulously updated.
