2610 Marvin Ave., Dallas1400 Egan St., Denton2200 Hurley Ave, Fort Worth
This Austin stone Tudor in Stevens Park Estates is a gorgeous home with vintage details that will make you swoon.

Older homes, especially those that have been lovingly and carefully restored, can be a big prize in the real estate world. Oh, sure, they might come with a few extra headaches, but there are very convincing reasons to buy one of these prizes. Consider these attributes: charm out the wazoo, beautiful, old trees, and access to city perks.

Remodeling one of those older homes can come with a high payoff. Original elements, such as architectural details, can be retained, while other areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens can be refreshed for today’s lifestyle.

Several of these vintage beauties in North Texas have been updated to 2023 standards. Remodeling hassles have been dealt with, and they’re looking for new owners. Several will be held open this coming week, so mark your calendars and take an updated stroll down memory lane with the following homes.

2610 Marvin Ave., Dallas

This one has curb appeal galore.

Built in 1939, this Austin Stone beauty greets you with a storybook façade. A happy awning adorns the front door, and the porch just beckons for morning coffee with neighbors. It’s located in the much-wanted Kessler Plaza, a very popular Oak Cliff neighborhood, and close to the Bishop Arts District and Stevens Parks Golf Course.

Price tag? It’s $449,000 for all this vintage splendor.

A swimming pool is the kind of update that Texas homebuyers appreciate.

1400 Egan St., Denton

Unique and historic, the stucco home built in 1938 on Egan Street and priced at $650,000, is a treasure. A brick walkway leads visitors past lush landscaping to the front door which opens to a house that oozes warmth and character.
