Overview
Description
There are houses you buy. And then there are houses that have been loved into something more than four walls and a roof. This 1950 Casa Vale cottage near White Rock Lake is the second kind. Step through the gate and into a yard that took years to become this: mature fig trees, peaches, two pears, a persimmon, a plum, Mexican plums, a crab apple—all producing. Passion flower vines climbing with purpose. An established asparagus patch. A grape vine that knows it's home. Raised vegetable beds full of organic soil, a greenhouse, a rain catcher, and native pollinating flower beds that will make you the envy of the block. In East Dallas, in the vicinity of one of the city's great parks, this lot grows food the way other yards grow grass. Inside, the bones are honest and warm. Hardwood floors. Two bedrooms, one bath. Pier and beam construction the way they used to build them. Double pane windows. Updated siding. A kitchen built for someone who actually cooks—custom-built workspaces designed for food prep, thoughtful in the way only a committed home cook would think to make them. Half the garage has become an artist's studio with a large vintage sink, laundry, and storage—or convert it back to parking. Either way, it's ready. Reinhardt Elementary is right around the corner, rated A by the state, with a cool school neighborhood park. White Rock Lake is minutes away with a Saturday morning farmers market, sunrise runs along the water, herons standing in the shallows like they own the place. This is the kind of East Dallas house where people stay for decades.
