Property Description
This jewel box of a home features original hardwood floors and stained glass. As one of the builder's show homes in the 20s - it boasts multicolor brick, a Bacchus fountain, and spiral columns on the inviting front porch. Large trees, mature landscaping and a koi pond off the generously sized porch - framed with arches and anchored by a fireplace—further enhance the home's charm. The backyard features a newly rebuilt, detached two-car garage and a motorized side gate for privacy.
Inside you will find two living areas: a formal living area with a wood-burning fireplace and an antique chandelier shipped from Prague, and a casual living area off the kitchen. Honed soapstone counters ties together the vintage inspired kitchen that features modern amenities. A formal dining area honors the house's original structure with a period brass light fixture, and features a large bay window overlooking Worcola, where many neighbors can be found walking and running.
The first floor office has its own private entrance off the front porch and a full bath with original floor tile, sink and mirror. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a laundry room. The primary suite is generously sized and has a balcony overlooking the backyard. The light filled primary ensuite is modern yet traditional in design.
Once home to the infamous Dallas journalist Stoney Burns - founder of Dallas Notes and Buddy Magazine, this home holds many stories. Its history has been lovingly preserved and updated with modern conveniences and is ready for the next owner. Feeding into coveted Mockingbird Elementary, this home checks all the boxes.
