About this home
A charming Little Forest Hills cottage — original character intact, thoughtfully updated. This 1940s gem pairs newly refinished light oak floors, abundant natural light, and an open layout with modern upgrades that never compromise the warmth.
The renovated kitchen delivers without sacrificing charm — farm sink, quartzite countertops, breakfast bar, and gas range — built for daily use and easy entertaining.
French doors from both the dining room and primary suite open onto a covered patio, connecting indoor and outdoor living in a way this neighborhood was made for. Half a mile from White Rock Lake, with a mature shade tree, fire pit, grill area, and room to spare — a quiet stillness settles in that's rare this close to the city. Morning coffee here feels like a different life.
A flexible bonus room works as a home office, studio, or guest suite, and a newly added half bath makes the layout that much more functional.
Nearly every major system has been addressed: brand-new roof (2025), recently adjusted foundation with a transferable warranty, a three-year-old energy-efficient HVAC system, and PVC plumbing throughout — verified via recent testing.
Included with the home: permit-ready architectural plans by Ryan Withrow of Object & Architecture, a Dallas firm known for sustainable, context-sensitive residential design. Plans include a detached structure — two-car garage, art studio, or city-approved ADU — plus a second-story addition to the main house. Built-in flexibility for rental income, creative space, or long-term value.
A cottage with a plan — a serene retreat in one of Dallas's most beloved neighborhoods, ready to restore you today, with a blueprint for tomorrow....
