    On The Market

    Fully updated Oak Cliff charmer has designer touch for under $500,000

    Once upon a time, a clever architect and a talented interior designer bought a 1927 Prairie cottage in Winnetka Heights and completely transformed it. Now, a lucky buyer can reap the benefits of their hard work and nab this move-in ready cutie at 110 N. Edgefield Ave. in this hot neighborhood.

    The duo behind this adorable home is J.P. and Erin Hossley, who own the Bishop Arts store Neighborhood, where they serve up architecture with a side of design at their “design bar,” much like a coffee shop serves up lattes and macchiatos. With more than a practiced eye, the Hossleys took the 1,858-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-bathroom abode and transformed it into a whimsical home full of character.

    “The front two rooms were very period, and exactly what we wanted,” J.P. says. “We gutted from there.”

    The foundation was redone, and new electrical wiring and fixtures from Schoolhouse Electric were installed. All the plumbing was updated, including the addition of a tankless water heater. This allowed the couple to capture wasted space in the kitchen and provided a new home for the refrigerator.

    “We can run five different plumbing fixtures all at once,” J.P. says. If you’ve ever run out of hot water in the middle of a shower, you know this is an important feature. Fixtures in both the bathrooms and kitchen are top-of-the-line Grohe.

    The turquoise sink stands out against the white kitchen, which features quartz countertops. The quartz continues into the bathroom, where the couple installed a double shower, or “party shower” if you will, along with a double vanity.

    If you need more reason to run over to Oak Cliff today and put down earnest money, there’s also an adorable 350-square-foot guest cottage on the property, with a full bath and kitchenette. You can easily offset mortgage payments on this $475,000 beauty with a full-time renter or use the property as an Airbnb rental.

    One of the oldest neighborhoods in Oak Cliff, Winnetka Heights is a designated historic district and has one of the most impressive collections of turn-of-the-century homes in Dallas. It’s within walking distance of the Bishop Arts restaurant and shopping scene and minutes from Stevens Park Golf Course. If you have kids, there’s an extremely involved PTA at Rosemont Elementary, and W. E. Greiner Exploratory Arts Academy is a hop, skip, and jump away.

    Listing agent is Paul Kirkpatrick with David Griffin & Company.

    6 Dallas suburbs make top 10 list of best Texas cities to move to

    Allen is the No. 1 best place to move to in Texas, ConsumerAffairs revealed.

    Several Dallas neighbors have been deemed the best Texas cities to move to in a new report.

    Advisors at ConsumerAffairs, a customer review and news platform, ranked the 50 most populated Texas cities across five main categories – affordability, safety, economy, health care and education, and quality of life – to determine which were the best places to move to. Each city was given a score out of 100 possible points.

    Four of the top five best places to move to in Texas are located in Dallas-Fort Worth: Allen (No .1), Frisco (No. 2), Plano (No. 3), and McKinney (No. 4). Two more DFW suburbs, Mansfield (No. 6) and Richardson (No. 10), rounded out the top 10.

    The findings revealed that the Metroplex dominated the list due to each area's prosperous economy, safety, and high quality of life.

    Allen topped the list as the second-safest city in Texas, and it has the 6th best quality of life in the state. ConsumerAffairs referenced Allen's low crime rates and its easy accessibility to green spaces as additional popular factors.

    "With an award-winning Parks and Recreation department and a jam-packed community calendar, Allen is a bustling suburb that holds its own in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metro area," the report's author said. "Among the 50 largest cities in Texas, Allen has the highest percentage of people living within a 10-minute walk of a green space, at 87 percent."

    In ConsumerAffairs separate ranking of the best places to live in the South, Allen ranked third on the list.

    Frisco was ranked as the second best Texas city to move to partly for its "thriving sports culture," its "seventh strongest" economy statewide, and its high-ranking healthcare and education systems. Frisco has the highest high school completion rate in Texas, at 97.7 percent.

    Meanwhile, Plano landed in third place as "an ideal suburb for movers looking for green space, safe streets and fun activities."

    "For residents who like their adventures on the dinner table, Plano is also home to one of the largest food halls in the United States, where diners can sample duck fried chicken, authentic Mexico City tacos and wine all under one roof," the report said.

    Elsewhere in the Metroplex, Dallas proper ranked far down the list as the 46th best place to move to in Texas. Fort Worth appeared slightly higher on the list as the 39th best Texas city to move to.

    Eight more Dallas-Fort Worth cities were included on ConsumerAffairs' list:

    • No. 12 – Carrollton
    • No. 13 – Lewisville
    • No. 21 – Irving
    • No. 24 – Grand Prairie
    • No. 29 – Denton
    • No. 35 – Garland
    • No. 37 – Arlington
    • No. 45 – Mesquite
