This place is just too stinking adorable to pass up! Located in McKinney’s W. A. Rhea subdivision, 519 W. Hunt St. was built in 1901 and has so much of that turn-of-the-century beauty intact.
I read about the brand new, two-way buffered bike lanes that were installed on Jefferson Boulevard today and I thought, “As a way to honor this long sought-after accomplishment, we should feature an Oak Cliff home for our Tuesday Two Hundred.” I started rummaging through MLS and my jaw dropped. Folks, you will not believe what I found.
Some homes are beautiful, and some homes are charming. The homes that are my favorites, though, are the cute ones. They are the ones that somehow manage to be both beautiful and charming at the same time. They have little details that make you gasp in delight. They are they homes you picture your furniture in.
Cameron Holland, Broker at Howell Holland Real Estate, is a young gun at just 29 years old. And yet, he’s got an eye for real estate and he knows what sells. That’s why friends and clients enlist his expertise to help them flip homes in the higher-end markets of Dallas. Holland just finished consulting on 5514 Monticello Avenue, which is now on the market for $498,000.

You know how you always hear, “This house is move-in ready”? You immediately think “Yeah, right, and you have some swamp land in Florida to sell me!”
Well this 1938 Tudor at 6804 Vivian in Hollywood Heights is 1,839 square feet of gorgeousness. It has so much historic detail it would make a preservation junkie swoon, and yes, it’s seriously move-in ready! It’s marketed by Keller Williams agent Britt Lopez for just $369,900, and with this home, you get a lot for your money.
Of the neighborhoods I’ve househunted in and lived in, Junius Heights is my favorite. We didn’t end up buying in this area as it was out of our price range, but my husband and I rented our first home together there.
All I can really say is that the current owner of 114 N. Windomere has some very diverse tastes. You can’t tell from the curb, but woo wee! This homeowner is not afraid of color!

This house, if it could say one word and one word only, it would be “AHHHH-DORABLE.” Just like that. In fact, it would be shouting it, so when you heard it from around the block, you would come jogging through Winnetka Heights until you found 314 N. Clinton, a butter yellow Craftsman just west of Tyler Street. Continue reading
Gray is the hottest neutral right now, and I am loving how it’s just popping up everywhere and in every conceivable shade. All 50 of them.
Trashy adult novel puns aside, this gorgeous Junius Heights Arts and Crafts home is the perfect example of how neutral doesn’t mean boring. With all of the wonderful cool slate, marble, and pearl grays, all of the details stand out. Continue reading
