Vickery Place is a historic Dallas neighborhood platted by the Works-Coleman Land Company in 1911. Their vision was to transform farmland into one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Dallas. With streetcar access and proximity to downtown, it became highly sought-after very quickly. I think they’d be quite pleased to see that Vickery Place remains a thriving community over a century later.

The Art House condos, designed by architect Lionel Morrison, were cutting-edge when they were completed in 2004. It’s a testament to Morrison’s genius that, 21 years later, this eight-unit building remains ahead of its time. Finding an architecturally significant, completely updated luxury condo in the heart of Dallas is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack. They don’t come along often. In fact, the last time we saw one available to purchase at Art House was five years ago.

When your home is selected for a tour, that pretty much sums up the fact that you have a great house. However, when Tony Nuncio and Terrance Nichols spotted their Oak Cliff cottage, it was not in the best shape, and they were just a tad late in submitting their offer. You’d think this would turn out to be a sad story, but it’s the complete opposite.

By 3 p.m., he was already showing it, and by Saturday night, he had received an offer, with another on Sunday. That was immediately followed by five more potential buyers expressing interest. This lightning-fast pace is the norm in the Midcentury Modern market, and it underscores the need for a proactive and knowledgeable Realtor.

When uber-luxury stager George Bass texted me a photo of this magnificent California Modern mansion, he didn’t have to add any context. It was an IFKYK moment. I knew immediately it was a Janet Goldschmidt design. Several years ago, I interviewed a handful of the top luxury Realtors, who all told me the same thing: “We don’t have what buyers coming to Dallas want.” It was true. Sure, we had beautiful homes, but with precious few exceptions, there was a Dallas Look.

Driving around one day, I stumbled upon Kessler Plaza, one of the cutest neighborhoods in Oak Cliff. It’s located right next to Ravinia Heights and features adorable Austin stone cottages like this one. It’s also one of the few neighborhoods in Dallas that is still affordable. I was thrilled when I came across this 1940 Kessler Plaza cottage because, although it appears small, behind its sweet facade lies 2,593 square feet with four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
