About this home

$25k PRICE REDUCTION! Some homes are simply vintage. This one is a piece of Dallas history. Built in 1913 for Dr. David L. Bettison this extraordinary American Foursquare is one of those rare homes that has retained the craftsmanship, character & soul of another era while embracing the comforts of modern living. Rich in architectural detail, every room tells a story, from the beautifully preserved maple floors w intricate inlaid patterns to the timeless proportions & thoughtful layout that have made the Foursquare one of the most enduring home styles in US history. It feels like walking into a living time capsule. Original charm has been lovingly preserved, yet it lives effortlessly in the present. An updated eat-in kitchen featuring soapstone countertops, stainless steel appliances, generous storage & timelessly appointed bathrooms. Flexible floor plan & a light-filled sunroom provide flexibility for entertaining, relaxing or working from home. Outdoor living is just as enchanting w a welcoming front porch & porch swing to watch the world go by, a charming screened-in porch upstairs among the treetops & a covered backyard patio for relaxing year-round. Equally special is its setting within the heart of Munger Place, Dallas' largest historic district & one of its most beloved neighborhoods. More than just a collection of beautiful homes, Munger Place is a true community where neighbors know one another & traditions have endured for generations. Annual home tours, porch parties & 4th of July celebrations create a lifestyle as charming as the architecture itself. Tucked away on a quiet interior block yet only minutes from Downtown, Baylor Medical Center, Lwr Greenville, White Rock Lake & some of the city's best restaurants & entertainment, this home offers the rare opportunity to own not just a historically preserved residence but a meaningful piece of Dallas history. Homes like this are not simply purchased, they are carefully passed from one steward to the next.
