Property Description

Nestled in the much-desired Little Forest Hills neighborhood, this inviting home offers a rare blend of location, potential, and character. Surrounded by towering trees and filled with natural light thanks to its southern exposure, you'll enjoy peaceful walks along curbed streets and sidewalks—just minutes from the Dallas Arboretum, White Rock Lake, and only 15 minutes from downtown Dallas.

The home has seen meaningful updates including a new roof (Oct 2022), new gas and water lines, updated windows, HVAC, tankless water heater, a newly tiled bathroom, and refreshed cabinetry. Original hardwood floors are ready to be restored, adding timeless appeal and warmth. With its energy-efficient features, utility costs stay low year-round. Alley access off Lakeland that has potential for a new garage entry if desired.

Whether you're looking to personalize a well-located gem, invest in a great rental opportunity, or build your dream home on a beautiful lot—this property is full of promise in one of East Dallas' most beloved neighborhoods.
