Homebuyers have a chance to scoop up the furnishings in a Tudor cottage that hit the market on North Clinton Avenue in Dallas, with the listing running at just shy of $900,000.
The listing is in the Kings Highway Conservation District, a historic neighborhood in North Oak Cliff known for its early 20th-century architecture, tree-lined streets, and strong community involvement. It’s a prime example of Dallas’ previous efforts to preserve its architectural heritage — before all the talk about the “density” in the ForwardDallas plan being considered by City officials.
In any case, here’s some of what Candy’sDirt reported on the listing on North Clinton Avenue:
In 1988, the Kings Highway Conservation District was the first to be formed in Dallas and only the second in the state. Neighbors became alarmed when an apartment building was erected on Kings Highway and decided to take action to preserve their neighborhood’s character. Sound familiar?
With city officials pushing density, buying a home in a conservation or historic district may soon be the only way to have any assurance of life in a single-family neighborhood. As that realization dawns, finding a home in one of the existing 21 conservation districts may soon become difficult. So, you may want to snatch up this adorable Tudor cottage before anyone else because it is a gem.
This 1925 Tudor cottage is in the heart of the Kings Highway Conservation District and is completely move-in ready. The 2,152-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a guest cottage and pool has been an incredibly successful investment property for a couple of years.
