Nestled in the heart of East Dallas, an exquisite Craftsman home for sale has drawn attention for its striking resemblance to a beautifully preserved historic home, despite being built in 2001.
Located between historic Munger Place and Peaks Suburban Addition, this home showcases thoughtful architectural details that pay homage to the early 20th century, thanks to its developers at David Weekley Homes, reports Candy'sDirt.
The builder, known for winning prestigious home building titles, adhered to strict design guidelines and used traditional siding, window designs and classic facade elements that harmonize with the surrounding neighborhood.
This stunning property at 4914 Reiger Ave., currently listed by Berkshire Hathaway agent Jeremy Larsen, is on the market for $799,900.
Here are all the details from Candy'sDirt on this home that allows for contemporary living while maintaining historic charm:
We hear complaints about new construction every day. Readers point out that most new homes are built without consideration for the character and style of the neighborhood. That's not the case with this striking East Dallas Craftsman.
I honestly had to do a double take when I saw this house. At first glance it looks like a historic home that has been beautifully maintained, but it is relatively new, built in 2001. It fits beautifully into this neighborhood bordered by historic Munger Place and Peaks Suburban Addition.
That's because David Weekley Homes built it. They were the first builder in the United States to receive the Triple Crown of American Home Building, which recognizes a builder as Americans' Best Builder, the National Housing Quality Award and National Builder of the Year.
David Weekley Homes also built several neighboring homes using architectural guidelines created for Munger Place, according to Berkshire Hathaway broker Jeremy Larsen.
“They used trim, columns, windows, sashes and facade details reminiscent of early 20th century homes,” Larsen said.
History was also honored with the wide veranda and the porch swing. This is a powerful example of doing the right thing and building the right house in the right neighborhood rather than building a giant white box.
The kitchen has a vented gas stove, built-in oven and microwave.
This East Dallas Craftsman offers buyers the best of both worlds: historic charm with all the elements a modern family needs for a comfortable lifestyle. There are 2,606 square feet, three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms with an open floor plan, a private study and a game room upstairs.
The location is hard to beat. As mentioned, this East Dallas Craftsman is located directly between two of our most historic neighborhoods, Peaks Suburban Addition and Munger Place. By bike you can reach the Garden Café in four minutes, the fantastic Jimmy's Food Store in five minutes and the Lakewood Library in six minutes. You essentially live in the city in the middle of a nice neighborhood.
The backyard is huge.
