Located in South Dallas, I found this lovely historic home to be a unique blend of the traditional and contempory. As I stepped inside, the beautifully restored architecture took me back in time. In addition, the decor was fully responsive to our needs as corporate remote workers, while still feeling warm and inviting. It provided an array of amenities like a spacious backyard, fully equipped kitchen, unique second floor balcony, state of the art wifi, business conference settings and a spacious living area. The location was perfect for us to easily access downtown and an event I attended at Fair Park. My experience was a mix of unforgettable comfort and convenience.

This beauty of a home was just as described. Located In “Sunny” South Dallas this home is located near the highway that can take you to the Downtown Dallas area and beyond. With the original wood floors and wood paneling it gives it a very charming feel. Adding in the baby just sets it off.
