This stunning 3-bed, 3-bath 1930s storybook-style home has been completely rebuilt down to the studs with high-end, permitted renovations. In a quiet, walkable neighborhood near Sylvan Thirty and Kessler Park, this move-in-ready home blends vintage charm with modern luxury. Inside, enjoy refinished original oak floors, vaulted ceilings, solid-core doors, and an abundance of natural light. The gourmet kitchen boasts quartz countertops, Calcutta marble backsplash, a waterfall island, panel-ready Bosch dishwasher, Whirlpool gas range, and retro-style fridge—all included.
The spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet and a spa-like bath with dual shower heads, designer tile, and custom sinks. Antique and modern touches—like brass and chrome hardware, vintage French sconces, and Schoolhouse lighting—give the home a curated, architectural feel. Upgrades include new HVAC, electrical, plumbing, tankless water heater, Nest thermostat, new windows, new stucco, and 8-ft fencing. Exterior highlights include custom copper lanterns, hardscaping, and an EV-RV plug.
Located minutes from Bishop Arts and downtown, this home is steps from Houndstooth Coffee, Manhattan Project Beer Co., and scenic walks to Kessler Park. Zoned to Sidney Lanier Expressive Arts Elementary and nestled in the historic Western Heights neighborhood—where families walk to school, wave hello, and BBQ with neighbors—this is a rare find in a fast-appreciating area. Western Heights is Dallas’s best-kept secret: a quiet, historic pocket with a strong sense of community, quick access to downtown and major freeways, and a more peaceful feel than many neighboring areas.
This is not an investor flip—every finish was chosen for long-term living, not resale. Seller is relocating for work, not seeking a quick profit.
Don’t miss your chance to own a home where design, history, and community meet.
