🏡 House of the week
East Dallas trail-side charmer
I walked past this one on my coffee loop and, yep, I did the full slow-down. Think 1940s cottage bones + smart updates: original hardwoods, bright windows, a real dining nook (not a barstool situation), and a kitchen that doesn’t scream flip. Out back: shady, fenced yard with room for a grill and a very spoiled dog.
Where: East Dallas, a few minutes to White Rock Lake & the Santa Fe Trail (bike in the morning, tacos by lunch).
What: 3 bed / 2 bath, efficient footprint (no weird add-ons), inside-laundry, and off-street parking.
Vibes: Front-porch evenings, weekend farmers market runs, and quick hops to the Arboretum.
Why I picked it: Location without the McMansion tax, move-in ready, and sized right for first-timers or downsizers who still want a yard.
Guess the list price. If you’re within 10k, Emma owes you a donut.
