This craftsman bungalow was built in 1918 and is full of character thanks to elements such as original heart pine floors. Improvements include an expanded second story, upgraded kitchen, and new roof and front porch. The 1,774-square-foot abode also has three bedrooms, one bathroom, and formals. The bonus is the spacious yard, chicken coop, and gardens where Dallas Morning News and beliefnet.com columnist Rod Dreher raised organic food.
