Award-Winning 1913 Home in Historic Old East Dallas

This gorgeous home won the 2001 Preservation Dallas Historic Achievement Award as "Best Residential Restoration in Dallas." It was profiled in the Lakewood Advocate magazine, and photos of it have appeared in the North Texan and Pet Life magazines.

The owners have painstakingly restored it from foundation to roof, preserving the rare, narrow gauge oak floors, wood windows and other original features while adding fantastic period details: elaborate hex-tile floors in all the bathrooms; Art Nouveau glass in the three sliding pocket doors; pattern carpet; reproduction fixtures; Voysey, Mackintosh and Walter Crane wallpapers and much more. Spacious rooms (the front living room spans the entire width of the house and is great for parties); very large, relaxing backyard with giant shade tree, two-car carport and privacy fence; large upstairs living area that could serve as a fourth bedroom; and large attic that could be converted into more living space. Kitchen includes classic Chambers stove with chrome accents that stays with the house.

In a rising neighborhood right outside Munger Place historic district, near Baylor Medical Center, just minutes from downtown Dallas, Uptown restaurants, the Lakewood Theater, the Arts District and more.
