Hey, here’s a cute one. It’s a Craftsman with a huge tiled front porch and a feeling of big, open, airiness inside. It’s on North Rosemont Avenue and it’s even on the better side. Look, they’re both great sides, but in this case, odd numbers take the win.
What a total rambling charmer with incredible native, wild, free flowing landscaping. (Pictures taken prior to our 108 degrees sweaty mess fun fest.) It’s almost as if one of the owners is a freelance landscaping consultant. Oh wait, she is, and her name is Christina Childress. As a Realtor, do you know how many emails I get from other agents looking for landscapers?? Kajillions. Maybe even bazillions. Now, you have the chance to own a total pro’s home. And all the Realtors reading this have a fresh new contact. Hooray. Confetti. Party popper. Paper horn and all the celebratory things.
On top of that, she’s also a designer and a photographer. If you’re keeping a tally that’s three for three on people you want to buy houses from. Just like those late-night infomercials where you can send a self-addressed stamped envelope for whatever thing their peddling (patent pending), here’s the part where I say, but wait, there’s more. The other owner, ol’ triple threat’s husband, Justin Childress, is ALSO A DESIGNER. And a design professor at SMU. Quick recap – This is a double designers’ home. No wonder the interior is so flawless, right?
The colors are impeccable, and the creativity is – let’s tie back to the SMU Professor – head of the class. Are you kidding me with that green that totally nails it right out of the gate in the living room?? It’s the perfect balance to that red brick on the fireplace and there’s just a little baby bit. Just a skooch. One half wall over the fireplace and built-ins and behind the TV. Killer.
My other favorite? The black beadboard and trim in the bathroom paired against the stark white walls. Then, they came at us with the lightest, prettiest, wood grain? Amazing.
Out back there’s an enormous wooden porch with coordinating railing and the perfect little canopy to create a shady seating area. Hmmm…what’s that little building in the distance? Oh, no big whoop, that’s just your ARTIST’S STUDIO with air conditioning and electrical. Put a potter’s wheel back there. I dare you. The interior walls are lined with plywood, so it gives you those, “whatever, I’m a creative, but I’m also, like, suuuper chill” vibes.
What a cutie. Dave Perry-Miller’s Emily Ruth Cannon has 610 N. Rosemont Avenue listed for $590,000 and there’s an Open House this Saturday from 1:00pm to 3:00pm. Stop by. Get vibed, bro.
