There’s something special about a Charles Dilbeck-inspired home, and it’s a rare and special occasion to find one in an affordable price range.
This two-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage is unique and interesting, a nice, cozy spot for a family looking to relocate to East Dallas.
The immaculately-detailed home at 3609 McMillan Ave., is perfectly nestled in Glencoe Park, surrounded by entertainment venues, restaurants, and great Dallas ISD schools. It’s listed at $375,000.
What’s In A Name
The renowned Dilbeck designed more than 600 homes before his death in 1990.
“Dilbeck’s style cannot be summed up in one genre, as his work reflects varied styles that include French farmhouses, as well as Tudor, Spanish, and Colonial Revival characteristics,” states a brief bio on the Preservation Dallas website. “What was popular about Dilbeck’s projects was his ability to blend and adapt historical styles to create a form of eclecticism giving his houses a Dilbeck style uniqueness.”
The McMillan Avenue home features classic Dilbeck design: open spaces, wood floors, wagon wheels, an epic fireplace, unusual masonry patterns, a Pecky Cypress garage door, and hayloft homage above the garage.
The traditional home was built in 1945 but had an electrical panel replacement in 2019 and complete interior paint update earlier this year.
Neighborhood Features
In addition to Cafe Izmir (Mediterranean), Velvet Taco, Aw Shucks Oyster Bar, and Society Bakery, there are dozens of unique restaurants within a mile of the home.
Museum of Illusions Dallas, Dreamscape, Rainbow Vomit, and Museum of Memories are all within five miles. Dallas has some amazing cultural opportunities. Several arts venues in the area offer event space and birthday party packages.
The Glencoe Park area is home to — you guessed it — Glencoe Park, which features 14 acres of tennis courts, picnic tables, walking trails, and athletic fields.
Looking for great schools? Homes in this area are zoned for Dallas ISD’s A- ranked Mockingbird Elementary School, B-ranked J.L. Long Middle School, and B-ranked Woodrow Wilson High School.
