If you drive down Live Oak Street headed east out of downtown Dallas, you’ll find yourself in the midst of a thriving neighborhood. And just past the inimitable Jimmy’s Food Store, a short walk from both Garrett Park and Savage Park, and less than a block from the historic Aldredge House on Swiss Avenue is where the cutest East Dallas condo is located.
This listing from Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate‘s Bart Thrasher is our Highlight Home of the Week sponsored by Dallas mortgage banker Lisa Peters of Cardinal Financial, and for good reason.
“This might just be the cutest condo in East Dallas!” Thrasher told daltxrealestate.com. “It is so close to everything (yet far enough away for some quiet). It’s so close to Lowest Greenville and the Live Oak/Skillman amenities! One of the best features, of course, is its proximity to Swiss Ave. Perfect for walking the dog, or even for just a stroll to get some exercise.”
Well, we’re absolutely in love with the location now, but that’s not where the charm ends for this adorable one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath condo on Bryan Street, which is, if you didn’t know, inside the Swiss Avenue Historic District. The views from the balcony are fantastic, too.
“I mean, the balcony view lines up perfectly with the pool, plus you can peek up Bryan Street towards the Aldredge House,” Thrasher added. “This has to have the best view in the complex.”
Inside, you can tell that the seller was proud of their home. The HVAC was replaced in 2019, the upstairs and half bathrooms were remodeled with luxe Carrara marble tile, kitchen appliances were upgraded, plush and luxurious Stainmaster carpet was added, and the whole place got fresh paint recently. That’s a lot of work for a 1,001-square-foot unit, but that just speaks to a seller who knows how to invest in a property.
“She grew up with a father who is a contractor, and because of that she is pretty handy,” Thrasher said.
If you’re not totally sold on this unit, the building will do the rest of the job.
“Organized around a large community pool and spa, the buildings really create a space that is pleasant, comforting, and enviable,” Thrasher said. “All this, coupled with the adorable condo itself, makes this such a great opportunity!”
We agree, plus, considering the reasonable $380 monthly HOA dues that cover water, trash, exterior maintenance, and blanket insurance, this East Dallas condo is a fabulous lock-and-leave unit for anyone who travels.
Worried about safety? You shouldn’t be.
“I felt a lot of peace of mind living in a gated community, with my car secured in the garage below,” the seller told us. “Even living on the second floor was ideal for me, as there was only one point of entry and I could sleep soundly at night knowing I was safe. I feel like that is rare when living in a busy Metroplex and close to the city center. I got to experience the benefits of living in the midst of a big city but without the anxiety that can come with that!”
Bart Thrasher of Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate has listed the cutest East Dallas condo at 5407 Bryan Street #A204 for $325,000.
