California has Hollywood. Dallas has Hollywood Heights. Sometimes you can’t tell one from the other.
This High Caliber Home of the Week, sponsored by Lisa Peters of Caliber Home Loans at 603 Monte Vista Drive is an idiomatic Spanish Revival home perched on a rich green corner lot in one of Dallas’s original residential neighborhoods. Beholding its hacienda-style exterior and strolling past its arched passageways, you might feel like one of Southern California’s pre-war residents. But this home is here in Dallas and just going on the market, listed by Phillip Murrell at Compass for $664,900.
Among its classic marks of the Spanish revival form are Saltillo tile in the backyard, a stucco-like painted brick facade, and red tile roof. Inside it’s a seamless transitional home that’s staggeringly cute and ready for a family keen on frequent dinner parties. Not to mention it’s in the hot East Dallas market around Lakewood — equal parts curb appeal, walkability, and convenience.
Built in 1928 the home has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It’s festooned with sturdy, dark hardwood floors, and features subtleties like lovingly restored moldings, crafty wallpaper, and simple clean sconces.
The kitchen is decorated in Ann Sacks tile imported from Morocco, in an hourglass-shaped design of earth tones that blend with the hammered copper sink, abundant wood-grain cabinetry and shelves, and the centerpiece Dynasty range. The range’s blue finish is a grace note that draws attention and will start numerous dinner party conversations.
The home has a much larger backyard than most of Hollywood Heights, an oasis-like sanctuary fitted with an abundant wood deck, rich foliage and a stone fountain. This is a perfect outdoor space for decompressing from your workday.
The master bedroom is a minimal design, while the master bath features lovely distressed tile and a clay vessel sink alongside bronze hardware. It has a porcelain clawfoot tub too, a recent upgrade.
In the immediate surroundings are conveniences like numerous Mexican food options, the delectable Lakewood Smokehouse, and a Whole Foods. It’s also a quick drive to Deep Ellum, and the head of the Sante Fe Trail is a ten minute walk.
Between entertaining yourself and entertaining a house full of guests, 603 Monte Vista offers a range of possibilities in impeccable style.
