What a sweet, cute little home that’s a bit of an Oak Cliff legend. Most recently it was the home of a beloved Oak Cliff resident who was a friend to literally everyone as well as a well-respected gardener. The previous owner had similar roots in the area and maybe that’s just the magic of 2218 Lawndale. It seems to draw lovely long-term residents who no doubt fill the house with happiness and pack in the good vibes.
It’s in Stevens Park Village and if you’re unfamiliar with the gentle hills and downtown Dallas views, you can read about it here. daltxrealestate.com has you covered. That’s a tagline I just invented and is approved by no one except me. Though obviously I strongly endorse it. Let’s get a revolution going. Comment below!
This home sits on a tree-lined street with a low-maintenance front yard with a gravel and flagstone walking path that blends in with the monkey grass, Texas natives, ferns, and potted plants.
This Stevens Park Village Home Brings it With Details
Inside, the kitchen is incredibly charming with scalloped trim over the sink, original cabinets, and effortless tiled countertops and backsplash. Team monochrome all day. Other details include picture molding, divided pane windows, huge oak trees, and a wonderfully Earthy feeling.
The blue-and-white tile bathroom is original and takes you back to 1941 when this home was constructed. You know that feeling. When you stand in a room and wonder about all the people who have lived here, have gotten ready for work, dates, and all of life’s endless events. You wonder if they loved living here as much as you do, and in the case of this Stevens Park Village home on Lawndale, the answer is an absolute “of course they did.”
Space And a Spare
The garage has been converted and a carport has been added for covered parking outside while the inside creates a flex space for a second den, artist studio, or workout room. Then there’s the room in the back of the house surrounded by windows, views of the backyard, and enough sunlight to make even the pickiest plants stretch their stems toward that bright blue sky.
Dave Perry-Miller’s Diane Sherman has the listing and said it’s the cutest, cottage-iest house you’ve ever seen, and you can’t help but be enchanted by it.
Sherman has 2218 Lawndale Drive listed at $405,000. Stop by the open house, this Sunday, Oct. 21 from 2 to 4 p.m.
