North Oak Cliff
Let’s just run the numbers, shall we? 3 Bedrooms + 2 Baths + 1 Cozy Front Porch + Tons of Updates (416 S. Winnetka) = $234,000 Wait. That doesn’t sound right … Carry the one … Well, if my math is sound, this cutie of a Craftsman in North Oak Cliff is a deal! This…
If there ever was a deal on a beautiful Midcentury Modern, 3212 Mapleleaf Circle is it, folks. For just $325,000 you can not only own this gorgeous modern home with beautiful architectural details, but you can live in Oak Cliff, an area that is appreciating head and shoulders above most of Dallas.
This house, if it could say one word and one word only, it would be “AHHHH-DORABLE.” Just like that. In fact, it would be shouting it, so when you heard it from around the block, you would come jogging through Winnetka Heights until you found 314 N. Clinton, a butter yellow Craftsman just west of Tyler Street.
In my journey to the center of 75208, I have stumbled across the most improbable house.
You see, most houses I find end up having one or more things I can really nitpick about. Maybe it’s an ugly master bathroom, or perhaps it’s outdated wallpaper. Sometimes it’s even an update that feels so out of place that it grates me. But Kessler Park’s 1232 Lausanne Ave., marketed by the amazing Hewitt & Habgood Group, has none of those things. It is like a double rainbow emanating from a unicorn’s nether regions: A house with such personality that it feels like there is nothing missing from it.
It always happens when you have a baby: Relatives come to stay for an open-ended period of time to “help” you. More often than not, they end up crowding things, and leaving you with more dishes in the sink and rings on your coffee table (Trust me, I speak from experience). Wouldn’t it be great if you had room for them that was detached from the main house? A place where you both could have some privacy?
