As I sit writing, this home has been on the market for two days. If by the time this runs — Day Four — it’s STILL on the market, you can knock me over with a feather. Then pick me back up and knock me over again because no way. NO! WAY!
Modern Living Real Estate’s Katie Aspen opens the description with “Stunning Midcentury …” Hello, understatement of the year. It’s so beyond stunning, you can’t even see it from there.
As a Realtor, I can look up past listings so I can see what this house was when these OBVIOUS DESIGN STARS stars bought it. And I have to tell you, it wasn’t bad. Even back then the kitchen had been updated, but this? This totally blows any modest updates out of the water.
The neighborhood is solid as well, with restaurants, Alamo Drafthouse, and a little dash of retail essentially within walking distance. And we’re talking CAKE CAROUSEL people. It’s a whole store of cake supplies and during the early parts of the pandemic, they sold Cookie To Go Kits. Why would you not want to live here?
Central Expressway is super close so the drive to East Dallas, Uptown, or our beloved NorthPark Center is very reasonable. I put that in italics because it is.
I’m only rambling on about the area because you don’t need me to put words to these pictures. They speak for themselves.
Out front they’ve turned the carport into a socially distant social scene. There’s enough cactus to make Joshua Tree jealous and those planters are CorTen steel. LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY.
Inside it’s a dramatically open living space with beautiful blonde hardwoods and a blown-out kitchen with built-ins on the other side. (The cabinetry is all white but that but deep wood top on the far side has our hearts.)
One bedroom is currently being used as an office and do you even know the degree of difficulty involved to make a double desk look that good? It’s like, not even worth attempting, but these two PULLED IT OFF.
The bathroom is gorgeous, the bedrooms are fabulous, and I want that rug and most of the planters. If only this was an old school episode of Wheel of Fortune where my tiny little head floated above the “room” I’d get to shop after solving the puzzle. Alas, it is not.
Anyway, if you’re not sold on 634 Dumont Drive — a three-bedroom, two-bathroom Midcentury home listed for $350,000 — just step out back. Then give Aspen a call.
