An Inside Look At The Austin Stone Stunner On 5923 Winton Street
First, if you are a fan of Daltxrealestate.com you know we adore Austin stone. In fact, our fearless leader did a piece back in 2015 where Austin stone was the star of the show.
“I’m a total sucker for Austin stone,” Candy wrote. “For one thing, Austin stone is indigenous and serves as the best shelter stone in Texas: it’s thick, insulating, and keeps homes cool in hot summer months.”
Not only that, it’s beautiful to look at too. So when we spotted this Austin stone stunner on 5923 Winton Street, we couldn’t wait to share it with you.
Gracious Austin Stone Curb Appeal For A Welcoming First Impression
Nestled on a gracious East Dallas lot surrounded by crepe myrtles and lush lawn rests the Austin Stone beauty, that is in a word, perfection. The 1940s, three-bedroom, two-bathroom gem is unassuming, inviting, and exactly the slice of Americana we can all use right now.
Lovingly Maintained And Updated Interiors
Step inside and you’ll find a smart floor plan featuring rooms bathed natural light. This is met by gorgeous hardwoods, crown moldings, a stately fireplace, and plenty of architectural detail throughout.
“The moment I walked in, I fell in love with the marriage of the past and future. The previous owners – whose names are still etched in the garage floor – did a great job retaining the charm of the archways, glass doorknobs and paned pocket doors, while also creating a modern aesthetic with bright, large bedrooms, renovated bathrooms, and tons of custom storage. Even a walk in closet,” the seller tells us.
However, her one non-negotiable when searching for this home was a tough requirement for her Realtor. “I wanted an attached double car garage. And I couldn’t be happier I found it. There is also a third convenient parking space in front which is great when family and friends visit,” she says.
A Bright And Airy Kitchen, Plus All New Baths
Other highlights include a bright and airy kitchen with stainless steel appliances, plus two full bathrooms that were recently taken to the studs. Now they are clad in classic black and white period tiles and top-of-the-line Kohler products for an eye-catching effect.
Exceptional Entertaining, Indoors And Out
From the adorable dining area to the secluded backyard with natural stone patio, you couldn’t ask for a more lovely setting inside and out. But the seller’s favorite feature? Well, there are many.
“I will narrow it down to the kitchen bar and the back patio/front porch,” she reveals. “All places I can share a cup of coffee or glass of wine with neighbors and friends. Oh, but I also love, love, love my giant laundry room with a soaking sink.”
A Great Buy For The Neighborhood
And at this price, in such a coveted locale, it’s a steal!
The seller says, “Of course, the location makes this home a great buy, along with the amount of space and storage. Parking for three cars is hard to find, especially an attached garage. The nearby Mockingbird Elementary School is exemplary. And how convenient to work from home and walk your children to school. At almost 1,900 square feet, this home offers spacious rooms and a great privacy layout for multiple family members and different lifestyles. You are also close to nearby shopping and restaurants.”
Timeless Austin Stone Design
As if that’s not enough, this Austin stone beauty is ideal for a variety of buyers.
“It sounds cliche’ but this home is designed for everyone of any age whether retired like me, just starting out as a couple, a young family, or a single homeowner with or without children,” says the seller. “The home is very versatile. The third bedroom with attached bath is the perfect “ready to work from home” space. With both a den and formal living room, there is space for the family to spread out. The teens can have their space and mom and dad theirs. The fenced yard offers security for pets and if you enjoy gardening there is new, low maintenance landscaping and an automated sprinkler so you don’t have to work too hard. This home just suits everyone.”
We couldn’t agree more! It’s a trifecta, with looks, location, and low maintenance living. The home is great for those who want privacy, yet with all the charms of a friendly established neighborhood.
“At a recent open house, the previous owners who oversaw the ‘05 expansion stopped in to admire their cherished renovation project,” the seller adds. “You can still feel the couple’s pride of ownership as they took a family photo on the front porch and reminisced about the happy times they share here and what the future holds for another lucky family at 5923 Winton Street.”
Could that next family be yours?
