Storybook charm meets everyday livability in this distinctive 1928 Tudor Revival Cottage, set on a privately fenced, oversized 0.278-acre lot in Elmwood, one of North Oak Cliff's most picturesque, park-like neighborhoods. Rich in character, the home features multi-gabled rooflines, dual porches, and a striking central chimney with corbeled, stepped brickwork that evoke a romantic European cottage aesthetic. Inside, original charm is complemented by thoughtful improvements, including a freshly painted interior, flawless hardwood floors and replacement windows. The formal living room centers around a beautiful Calco antique tile fireplace with gas logs, while an adjoining light-filled bonus room with a private entrance provides the perfect home office, studio or reading retreat. The spacious primary suite includes an ensuite bath and a generous sitting or dressing room. The kitchen is equipped with gas cooking, stainless steel appliances, a counter-depth french door refrigerator (new April 2026), breakfast bar and wall-mounted television. Recent improvements include a new roof (May 2026), a new electrical panel (April 2026) and a recently constructed deck, creating an exceptional blend of historic character and modern convenience. Walk to the coffee shop and eateries in downtown Elmwood or along the Elmwood Parkway to Tyler Station, described as a collaborative village located in the nearby 1925 Dixie Wax Paper Company building, with shops, work spaces, fresh beer and baked goods that has become a gathering place for the neighborhood.
