It’s not just gracefully aging homes in Old East Dallas. Thanks to the growing popularity of the neighborhoods surrounding it (i.e. Lower Greenville, Uptown, and Downtown), the history-filled hood between Henderson and Fitzhugh Avenues is drawing more young professionals and families looking for apartments, townhomes, or newly renovated abodes. Blame it on the wide array of home shapes, sizes, and styles—or the storied lanes that stay lively thanks to the joggers, strollers, or bikers who turn out to enjoy them. Either way, there are plenty of places to settle. Here, we show you a sample.
5907 Swiss Avenue
This home was made our annual list of the 10 Most Beautiful Homes in Dallas in 2011, honored for its curb appeal, but (dare I say it?) the stunning interior may actually outshine the façade. For proof, check out Briggs Freeman’s effusive description on their website, briggsfreeman.com, that begins with, “Straight out of the 1920s, this fairy tale of a home signifies all of the reasons why charm can often times leave you weeping.”

Those dark hardwood floors! Those pastel colors and cozy fireplaces! Those rocking chairs! My apologies for the exclamation points, but it’s hard to type calm when a Southern charmer this pretty is gracing your computer screen. Plus, with its high ceilings, expansive front porch, premium kitchen, and lovely master suite, this newly updated Munger Place home is more than just delightful. Pass the iced tea, please!

Once again, the charm level is high, as is the quality of the home‘s recent renovation. The pretty, stained-glass-filled entry leads the way to some seriously cozy-looking rooms with plenty of shelf space for books and gorgeous mantles in need of some family photos or collectibles.
