Property Description
This jewel box of a home features original hardwood floors and stained glass. As one of the builder's show homes in the 20s - it boasts multicolor brick, a Bacchus fountain, and spiral columns on the inviting front porch. Large trees, mature landscaping and a koi pond off the generously sized porch - framed with arches and anchored by a fireplace—further enhance the home's charm. The backyard features a newly rebuilt, detached two-car garage and a motorized side gate for privacy.
Inside you will find two living areas: a formal living area with a wood-burning fireplace and an antique chandelier shipped from Prague, and a casual living area off the kitchen. Honed soapstone counters ties together the vintage inspired kitchen that features modern amenities. A formal dining area honors the house's original structure with a period brass light fixture, and features a large bay window overlooking Worcola, where many neighbors can be found walking.
The first floor office has its own private entrance off the front porch and a full bath with original floor tile, sink and mirror. Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms and a laundry room. The generously sized primary has a balcony overlooking the backyard. The light filled primary ensuite is modern yet traditional in design.
Once home to the infamous Dallas journalist Stoney Burns - founder of Dallas Notes and Buddy Magazine, this home holds many stories. Its history has been lovingly preserved and updated with modern conveniences, including a NEW roof in June 2026. Feeding into coveted Mockingbird Elementary, this home checks all the boxes.
