    One of Lakewood's prettiest homes just hit the market

    When we imagine the perfect country home outside a scenic little European village, this eclectic country French estate is exactly what comes to mind. Fortunately, a passport isn't required to enjoy 6803 Lakewood Blvd. You just need to call David Bush with David Bush Real Estate and book an appointment.

     

    Be prepared to write a hefty check, though, because Bush has this iconic house, named one of D Magazine's “Ten Most Beautiful Homes in Dallas” in 2008, listed for $2.3 million. Interestingly, the picturesque property has not been on the market for 40 years. The same family has owned this property for four decades, meaning it’s been lovingly cared for and meticulously maintained.

     

    “So many people called me about it when the for sale sign went up and told me it was always one of their favorite houses in Lakewood,” Bush says. “It really is a marquee signature Lakewood landmark. It has the Old World charm, craftsmanship, and character — and a magnificent lot. It’s just stunning.”

     

    Built in 1935, it has the attention to detail created when true artisanship was the norm in luxury construction. There is a casual elegance to the interior, from the stained glass insets in the original entry door and detailed millwork on the staircase, to the exposed beamed ceilings and use of repetitive arches both indoors and out.

     

    There are four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a powder bath in the 5,218-square-foot home. The secondary living area has a private entry from the pool and garage, and the master suite, complete with a fireplace and balcony, is a private oasis.

     

    The grounds are lush, with multiple areas for entertaining, and of course, a sparkling pool front and center. For visitors, there's a 445-square-foot guest cottage on the grounds.

     

    Location, naturally, is always key, and from Lakewood Boulevard, you can walk to White Rock Lake and bike to Lakewood Elementary, and downtown and the Dallas Arts District are mere minutes away by car.

    Dallas ranks as 2nd most pet-friendly place to rent in 2024

    Rentals in Dallas that allowed pets leased three days sooner than units that didn't allow pets.

    A new market trend report from Zillow has confirmed that pet-friendly rentals are leasing much faster than non-pet-friendly units, and Dallas' rental market had the second most pet-friendly rental listings on Zillow in 2024.

    The report, called "Saying Yes to Pets Helps Landlords Find a Tenant Faster," analyzed more than 11 million rental listings that appeared on Zillow last year to discover the share of pet-friendly rental listings in the biggest U.S. metros. The report also calculated the median number of days it took for pet-friendly units to find a tenant faster than those that did not allow pets.

    The Lone Star State led the nation with the most pet-friendly rental listings on Zillow out of all 50 states last year. Nationally, only 57 percent of rental listings in the U.S. allowed pets, which is a disappointing amount when compared to the major Texas cities.

    The data revealed Dallas has a deep appreciation for pets, with 79 percent of rental listings in the city allowing tenants to have furry best friends.

    Dallas fell second only to Austin, where pet-friendly rentals accounted for 80 percent of all citywide listings on Zillow in 2024. San Antonio ranked right behind Dallas with the third highest share of rentals that allowed pets, at 78 percent. Don't mess with Texas pets, y'all.

    Surprisingly, Houston appeared at the bottom of the list as the U.S. metro with the smallest share of rental listings that allowed pets, at just 38 percent.

    The report additionally found that pet-friendly rentals in Dallas were leased three days faster than units that don't allow pets. For comparison, it took about eight days for the median U.S. pet-friendly rental to lease sooner than its non-pet-friendly counterpart.

    In a separate survey of the "typical American renter," Zillow discovered more than half of renters declined to lease a certain property because it didn't allow pets.

    "Renters have more leverage than in quite some time after last year's multifamily construction boom, and the data show allowing pets can make a difference in leasing out a unit quickly," the report said. "The median renter is getting older, and more renters now have a pet. Nearly six in 10 renters are pet owners, up from 46 percent before the pandemic."

    In Austin, rentals that allow pets lease 10 days sooner than non-pet-friendly units, and that number slows down to six days sooner in San and just one day faster in Houston.
