If you were a Saturday Night Live fan in the 1990s, you’ll remember a spoof commercial for a car called “The Chameleon.” It was complete luxury on the inside, but not so much on the outside. This house is that spoof car.
The exterior is completely nondescript. All gray siding. Cute little porch. Green door. Nothing fancy. New landscaping and fresh sod though.
But once you’re inside, there’s a great reveal.
This adorable Oak Cliff home was taken to the studs and reimagined with an open floor plan and loft space up top. This means they knocked out that attic and put a spiral staircase and sweet little overhang in its place.
In the kitchen, there are marble countertops and breakfast bar. (This house is both teeny and tiny, but it’s efficient.) The appliances are stainless steel and the floors? Solid hardwoods, baby. That shiny new marble? Repeated in the bathrooms, too. COHESION!
About that teeny tiny … all in there are only 882 square feet in this home, but the backyard is MASSIVE. So what if you added a second, smaller house out back? Or an Airstream? You could rent out either and make some PASSIVE INCOME because that is THE thing to do right now apparently.
Heck, you could even add a koi pond back there since you already have a killer wraparound deck. Give you something to meditate on.
Now, even though there are only 882 square feet, this one still has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a full-size utility room with custom cabinetry. What? Yep.
Plus, since they took out that attic the ceilings are soaring so it feels roomier than what the Dallas County Appraisal District clocks it at.
Even though this home was built in 1940, with all the updates (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and windows), it lives like a newer construction. And you’re right smack in the middle of Oak Cliff surrounded by trees and character.
