You guys. Youguysyouguysyouguys. LOOK AT THIS HOUSE. It’s in the heart of East Dallas, but it feels like it’s set in the middle of a forest. For me, this is the ultimate artist’s retreat. Like I feel like the photos are a pictorial meditation. So soothing. So green. So private. So quiet. They’re like noise-cancelling headphones, but in the form of a whole house.
It’s filled with floor to ceiling windows in every room offering the most glorious views of nature. The house itself is on a corner lot in a little alcove of homes called Easton Place. There are about 26 homes total so it’s a super tightknit community where neighbors are still neighbors.
Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate’s Lauri Ann Hanson said she loves this little pocket of homes because each one is architecturally unique. (She has the home co-listed with Aimee Schreiner, both of Dwell Partners Real Estate Group, a team within Dave Perry-Miller.)
And as an artist’s retreat, I feel like there are so many unique angles and plenty of wall space to hang a collection or create one. I love this house as is, but I think you could have so much fun making it your own.
At 2,490 square feet, it’s the perfect size. Not too big, not too small. And very rare for that area. Most homes have the original 1,800-ish-square-foot footprint or they jump up to the new builds at 3,000-plus square feet.
This one has all the room you need without excess space you’ll feel compelled to fill. Know what I mean? “Oh, there’s a blank corner, better get an occasional chair.” That kind of thing. Plus, it feeds into the sought-after Hexter Elementary.
Upstairs, there are skylights and angled walls and vaulted cedar-lined ceilings, oh my. Clerestory windows bring the treetops in while maintaining privacy. Another reason to love this one? The primary suite is upstairs with a private balcony. Dream.
There’s a private park just beyond the backyard that is for residents only and it’s maintained by the HOA. That makes for even MORE privacy!! It’s located by White Rock Lake, Casa Linda, the Arboretum — All the hits. But this home’s architecture and style give it legs and set it apart from any other home you’ll see on the market. You guys, this house is amazing.
Hanson and Schreiner have 914 Easton Place listed for $739,000 and they’ll be hosting an open house this Sunday, Sept. 10 from 2 to 4 p.m.
