Thoughtfully restored, this stunning 1922 Arts & Crafts bungalow in the Junius Heights Historic District preserves its historic character while benefiting from substantial modern improvements, including: • Full roof replacement on home and garage with transferable warranties (2026)• Foundation repair with added pilings and transferable lifetime warranty (2018)• Complete attic insulation replacement (2016)• Full kitchen, butler pantry, and laundry remodel with Café and Bosch appliances (2021)• New backyard fence (2025)• New AC unit (2022) and Rinnai tankless water heater (2021)• Whole-home interior paint and refinished original hardwood floors (2026)• New upstairs living area carpet (2026)• New Levolor cordless blinds downstairs (2024)• Updated bathrooms (2018, 2019, 2025) The 1.5-story residence features a classic center-hall floor plan and a luminous gallery-white interior. Original moldings, vintage light fixtures, and preserved French doors—including one set reimagined as sliding doors—create a timeless blend of charm and functionality. The kitchen is a chef’s workspace with soft-close custom cabinetry and dual butler’s pantries for hosting and organization. The main-level primary suite is filled with natural light and offers a sitting area and oversized walk-in closet. Upstairs, a spacious landing, perfect for a reading nook or study space, is lined with original built-in bookcases and opens to an expansive flex space—ideal for a gym, office, or playroom—and two large bedrooms with walk-in closets. Enjoy the Old East Dallas lifestyle with a deep front porch perfect for gathering with friends and family. A rare two-car garage adds convenience and value in this historic setting. Ideally located near highly-rated Lipscomb Elementary (an IB and Dual Language public school), Lakewood Library, White Rock Lake, Lakewood Village, and Lower Greenville, this is more than a home—it is a piece of Dallas history, meticulously restored and ready for its next chapter.
