Description:
One of the Finest Homes in Historic District Sold by Douglas Newby This Munger Place home received the Restoration House of the Year Award when it was first restored by a founder of Preservation Dallas. Recently, it has been further renovated by its current owners who are in the design industry, including a new kitchen. Beautiful front doors open to the wrap-around porch in a neighborhood known for its front porch atmosphere and neighborhood collegiality. Munger Place Historic District Munger Place was the first single-family historic district in the city. This neighborhood is in the center of vibrant Old East Dallas neighborhoods, and it is surrounded by three other historic districts: Jefferson Peak Historic District, Junius Heights Historic District, and Swiss Avenue Historic District. Fabulous Location of Neighborhood One could argue Munger Place is the best located close-in Dallas neighborhood in the city. With a view of the Dallas skyline, this tree-lined neighborhood is only 25 blocks from the Arts District, 10 blocks fromLakewood Shopping Center, 8 blocks from Henderson Avenue and Greenville Avenue, only 4 blocks from family owned restaurants and markets on Bryan Street and just 2 blocks from the Santa Fe Trail that leads to White Rock Lake and towards downtown and the Trinity River. The Right Size Home for a Single Person or Family With 2,522 square feet and three bedrooms, 5012 Junius is large enough to easily accommodate a family with children, but it is also a very comfortable size for a single person or couple. With a wide front porch and the open front yards found in the neighborhood, there is a livability that goes beyond the square footage of the home and property. Tall ceilings and center heart red pine floors provide timeless elegance. The oversized double-hung windows allow lots of light. The open floor plan is perfect for modern furniture or traditionally elegant design. Historic Detail and Architecture This early modern home has the original wide, center heart, red pine floors that have been refinished. The baseboards are high, the trim around the doors is wide with the detail that distinguishes Munger Place homes.
