This new Victorian charmer for sale is minutes away from East Dallas hot spots

It is not every day that a Folk Victorian home pops up on the Dallas housing market. And a new construction that mirrors this architectural style? Pretty much unheard of. So it's easy to be instantly smitten with this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom new construction at 4705 Worth St. in East Dallas.

The charming home in the blossoming Buckner Park neighborhood is listed for $799,000 with Edward Tung of JP Piccinini Real Estate Services.

"The design references are mainly from examples in California and some in Houston, and it is because the designer and partner, Ken Law, wants to introduce something refreshing to this historic area," Tung says.

In fact, you may never have known how much you admire this particular type of architecture. But, fancy the prominent porch and gable-front plan? Dig the raking cornice, beveled lap siding, and shingles on the pediment? Yep, you are officially a fan of Folk Victorian.

Inside the home, the floor plan features 3,641 square feet of a more modern design, including concrete floors, a waterfall kitchen island, a see-through ventless fireplace, and custom cabinets. And the freestanding tub located inside the shower is swoonworthy, to say the least.

Now, about the location. Just minutes from downtown Dallas, Deep Ellum, and Lower Greenville, the emerging Buckner Park neighborhood is attracting homeowners and business owners alike who want to take advantage of its proximity to, well, everything, while they still can at a relatively approachable price point.

"Picking up the fast developing momentum from Lower Greenville, there have been numerous multi- and single-family constructions going up in this area, and yet the real estate market is still affordable compared to all of the other established areas near downtown," Tung says. "And with the Epic Development drawing near to its completion, all indications suggest that the area will continue to prosper."

For those who want to see the neighborhood and home up close, Tung is hosting an open house for the property from 1-3 pm Sunday, August 18.

Grand Prairie expands to the south with new master-planned community

Goodland Grand Prairie

The City of Grand Prairie is growing fast and expanding to make way for a new master-planned development south of US Highway 287 and along Tollway 360, in Ellis and Johnson counties.

The community development, called Goodland, is the result of Grand Prairie’s recent 1,500-acre annexation extending its southern border toward Mansfield. Overall, with the added land, Goodland will be a 5,000-acre site featuring 15,000 residences including townhomes, custom homes, and gated communities for 50,000 residents.

According to a release, it will be a “city within a city” and a 45-minute drive from Dallas-Fort Worth. Beyond housing, there will be shops, restaurants, schools, public and private event venues, regional sports fields and complexes, dance halls, churches, trail systems, city parks, ponds, and preserved green spaces.

“This is a significant step in our city’s development,” says Grand Prairie Mayor Ron Jensen in a statement. “Unlike many of our neighboring cities, we have the unique advantage of new development opportunities to our south that will drive the growth and prosperity of our city. We recognized the opportunity and took decisive action.”

Leading the development is Provident, a Dallas-based real estate firm that has created other master-planned communities across Dallas-Fort Worth, such as Preston Hollow Village and Hillstead in Collin County. Provident has plans to work nature into the space design with more than 1,600 acres of creek corridors and floodplain land.

Plans are ongoing for a centralized mixed-use walkable Town Center, complete with civic buildings and other commercial development. Further south on the property near Highway 67, light industrial uses and other private employment campuses are already underway, projects that will contribute vital tax dollars for city growth and future expansions.

“This level of placemaking is quite rare, and certainly not easy to execute, especially in a brand-new community," says Provident Managing Director Rylan Yowell in a statement. "We are committed to a long-term vision with a desire to be good stewards of the land."

A new four-lane road called Goodland Parkway will link Goodland to Grand Prairie at Tollway 360 and US Highway 287. It's set to open by December 2025.
