Tucked into one of East Dallas’ most loved pockets, this Santa Monica Hollywood Heights gem offers comfort, thoughtful updates, and an unbeatable location. Zoned to highly sought-after Lakewood Elementary School and just minutes from White Rock Lake, you get the lifestyle buyers search for. Walk to the lake for morning runs or sunset strolls, then head minutes to Lower Greenville and Lakewood Shopping Center for dining, shopping, and entertainment. Inside, the owners have carefully preserved the home’s old world charm through while improving functionality with modern features. You'll find original hardwoods throughout the majority of the home, but major upgrades bring peace of mind, including a new roof and gutters with leaf guards, new AC with dehumidifier, full basement encapsulation, a whole-home natural gas generator installed in 2025, and new back windows. Wiring, ventilation, and connectivity have been improved throughout, including fiber internet and ethernet access. The layout has been enhanced for everyday living, with a secondary den enclosed to create a true third bedroom and an updated hall bath with double vanity. The kitchen features gas appliances, while the living room is anchored by an extended mantle and updated gas fireplace. Media wiring is already in place for a clean setup. Outdoor living shines with a MASSIVE redesigned backyard featuring an upper deck with raised railings, a lower flagstone patio with iron railing and gate, new stairs, and extended fencing for added privacy. A full sprinkler system and low-maintenance, pollinator-friendly landscaping complete the space. Meticulously improved and move-in ready, this home delivers location, function, and peace of mind in one of Dallas’ most desirable neighborhoods. Full list of upgrades uploaded in MLS.
