Does this Tudor look a little familiar? Perhaps it does if you’ve ever perused the pages of the July 1922 Dallas Morning News. That’s where it first appeared, beckoning homebuyers to Perry Heights for this “Home Beautiful” and “Electrical Paradise.” The history alone merits status as this week’s High Caliber Home of the Week presented by Lisa Peters at Caliber Home Loans. However, as Keller Williams Urban listing agent Sam Saladino can attest, the home’s charm will make your heart skip a beat!
“This timeless Tudor seamlessly blends the best of its vintage vibe with the up-to-the-moment finishes today’s buyer craves,” Saladino said of his latest listing, 4319 N. Hall Street in Perry Heights. And he’d know, considering his extensive design background. The subtle warmth of this home is just impeccable! You get two bedrooms, three bathrooms, and 1,840 square feet on a generous quarter of an acre lot — a huge value in this increasingly dense and walkable urban neighborhood right next to the Katy Trail — all for $729,000.
“The focal point of the formal living room is an original fireplace surround and textured plaster walls with picture rail crown molding, classically created for heirloom treasures but a wonderful counterpoint for showcasing modern artwork,” Saladino said. “Bring out those brass rails! We all know brass is back! Especially mixed with other metals and reflective surfaces like glass, crystal and mirrors!”
“Gorgeous hardwoods and pretty travertine reflect light from an abundance of windows and glass fronted patio doors,” Saladino went on. “White walls and cabinetry give today’s clients the light and bright surfaces they demand while not sacrificing the houses romance and integrity.”
And romance there is. Especially when you’re talking about the incredible master suite.
“The original second bedroom was converted by previous owners into a large walk-in closet while the old sleeping porch (still lined in beadboard) has become a light-filled 2nd bedroom or studio. I love the idea of a sleeping porch,” Saladino said. “I remember a story about Mr. Stanley requesting one for the home he asked Frank Lloyd Wright to design for him in Dallas. I think it’s one of the few things they agreed upon. Sadly it never came to fruition.”
Of course, the yard and pool are the real show stoppers here.
“Thanks to the lot-and-a-half, your pool and hot tub are surrounded by ample decking and lush green space and plantings,” Saladino added. “The cabana with huge sliding glass doors has a real indoor/outdoor feel, with sleek textured tile flooring with built in bar, sink and a full bath.”
Beautiful tree lined street, Perry Heights park and tennis courts,the Katy Trail all just blocks away.
