East Dallas home offers historic charm with updated sensibility…

This traditional home can be found in the tree-lined streets of Dallas' historic Lakewood neighborhood. It was built in 1926 and renovated in 2014.

The thoughtful 2014 renovation of this historic East Dallas home keeps the property true to its roots while reinventing it as a turnkey modern sanctuary. It’s perfect for someone looking for a cozy spot in a close-knit community near downtown. “Everyone does their part to welcome new neighbors,” says listing agent Jason Bates with Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate. “The families frequently gather in the triangle gardens along Tremont/Largent for s’mores and good cheer.”

There's no shortage of natural light in this home at 6224 Tremont St. in East Dallas. The solarium features floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors and skylights.

You can continue the good times in this traditional, two-bedroom, two-bath 1926 home on a generous lot, with built-in outdoor entertaining. The renovation of 6224 Tremont St., by Viaggio Design, included a wall of windows across the rear solarium that engages beautifully with the light. “They fill the home with so much natural light and provide scenic views out to the backyard and seating area,” says Bates. The space has a custom firepit, artificial turf that bare feet will love, and a built-in grill. The backyard is just a rack of ribs and a wireless speaker away from being your favorite place to be on the weekend.

The home (listed for $879,000) is a commuter’s dream at just 12 minutes from downtown Dallas, and the weekend warrior in you will love the 16-minute bike ride to White Rock Lake. “I love this location in Historic East Dallas, adjacent to Lakewood Country Club and Lakewood Theater,” says Bates. Also close by? The Dallas Arboretum and Lakewood Shopping Center, as well as countless restaurants and local coffee spots.

Don’t feel like going out? No problem, because there are plenty of places to get comfy at home, including two living rooms and the solarium (imagine slipping into a comfy chair to watch the sun come up as you’re handed your morning coffee). One bedroom boasts a marble and capiz accent wall that gives serious spa vibes, as do the soothing colors throughout the home. The second bedroom, just steps off the solarium, has an exterior entrance perfect for hosting weekend guests.

A soothing shade of the lightest green covers the cabinets in the kitchen, which include stainless steel Thermador and Viking appliances.

Both bathrooms feature clean lines and lots of texture, with contemporary nods to the classic details of the ‘20s. A flow-through office space offers privacy without shutting you off from the rest of the home. The kitchen wows with stainless steel Thermador and Viking appliances, and a barely-there shade of green graces the cabinetry, contrasting beautifully with the wood flooring.

“The character of this neighborhood is what really stands out,” says Bates. “The classic architecture is quaint and timeless, but for me, it’s the specimen trees in the neighborhood that make this one of my favorite parts of town.”
