Thursday Three Hundred: A Two-story in Little Forest Hills That Isn’t So Little

By Joanna England / August 2, 2012 /

I love it when a master bedroom feels like a retreat — nay, a vacation. My requirements for a “retreat” include 1) an amazing bath tub, 2) a place where I can sip my coffee, and 3) there is more than one sizable window from which to view something other than my neighbor’s fence.

Not only does 9023 San Leandro have all three of my requirements, but it is in Little Forest Hills, one of my favorite Dallas neighborhoods. With 2,175 square feet, this three-bedroom, two-bath charmer is one of the larger cottages in Lakeland Terrace. And you can have it all and be right next to White Rock Lake for just $347,500!

This home, 6831 Fisher Road, sits on FOUR ACRES (I still can’t believe the lot’s that large!) and has room for six horses. All inside the city limits, too.

Friday Four Hundred: Recently Renovated Tudor Turns Heads in Wilshire Heights

By Joanna England / July 13, 2012 /

I can’t believe it, but my son Cooper will be turning one in August. My husband and I were talking about how much our lives have changed in less than one year.

“Pretty soon we’re going to need more room,” I said to him somewhat offhandedly. Of course, he stopped dead in his tracks. His face turned white as a sheet.

“You’re not … pregnant again, right?” he stammered.

I got such a giggle over that! No, we’re not pregnant again, but it got me thinking — we love our home in Casa View Haven, and we’ve put a lot of work into it, but if we were to move to a bigger house, where would we want to go?

By Joanna England / June 8, 2012 /

  Holy updates, Batman! This sweet little traditional at 6927 Santa Maria looks brand-spanking new inside even though it was built back in 1964.
