Wynnewood North is one of my favorite Oak Cliff neighborhoods, probably because it reminds me so much of East Dallas. Midcentury homes on large grassy lots lining quiet streets shaded by mature trees inhabited by kind, interesting people … who doesn’t want that?
And this home, a brand new listing from Melissa O’Brien with the Bleeker O’Brien Group at Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate is a stunning example of a cool remodel that really speaks to the neighborhood.
There’s just enough vintage cool at 622 Mayrant Dr. to feel nostalgic without it feeling like a time warp. The open floor plan is perfect for today’s buyers, but fun color accents, neutral paint, and hardwood floors keep this three-bedroom, three-bath, 2,649-square-foot ranch on the modern side of midcentury.
“Can I just say that I’m absolutely, devastatingly in love with this home?” asked listing agent Melissa O’Brien. “I’ve been so fortunate this year to represent some beautifully re-imagined properties, but this one might just take the cake.”
The 1958-built home received so many tasteful upgrades in the past few years, with designer touches in the kitchen, custom cabinetry, new countertops, and new appliances. Talk about an overhaul!
“I don’t want to say it was frumpy before, and certainly I can appreciate that everyone has a different vision for what makes their happy home, but what my sellers have done to this one, to me, it’s quite simply a gift,” O’Brien added. “I’m a girl who loves a little color in life, so this was a real stand out. The details throughout are perfection, and the striking blend of retro and contemporary finishes are just mad genius!”
O’Brien has listed 622 Mayrant for $474,700, and you get a lot for your money, especially in the kitchen. The sellers installed a custom-built walnut waterfall breakfast bar with quartz counters in the workspaces. A commercial-grade, six-burner range was installed, as was a Kohler stainless steel apron sink complete with a commercial sprayer faucet. The backsplash, which looks like intricately textured wallpaper, is actual infinitesimally small subway tile. What a cool detail!
A stainless Kitchenaid counter-depth refrigerator and stainless Whirlpool dishwasher were both just added, as were the custom storage systems in the two huge pantries behind walnut bypass doors.
The master suite was obviously added on, but what’s fantastic is that the two original baths to the home remain, in their splendid, vintage-tiled glory. Hallelujah!
And then there’s the grassy backyard, accented with the cool, modern fence that was installed just two years ago. we love how intimate the patio feels and how expansive the lawn is. Enjoy the shade of the mature trees as you relax in Wynnewood North with the family.
“I’ve always adored this neighborhood, so long kept Oak Cliff’s little secret,” O’Brien said. “I think the proverbial cat’s out of the bag now!”
You can marvel at this home and Wynnewood North at the open house for 622 Mayrant on Sunday, Dec. 18, from 2 to 4 p.m.
