Designer’s Special in Hollywood-Santa Monica

Welcome to your next great project in one of East Dallas' most iconic neighborhoods. Tucked into the heart of the Hollywood-Santa Monica Neighborhood Conservation District — but in the coveted non-conforming section — this home offers a rare opportunity for creative freedom. Translation? Fewer restrictions and more room to dream, design, and do things your way.

This is one of those properties with real soul. Vintage character? Check. Great layout? Check. Incredible potential? Double check. Currently offering three bedrooms plus several additional spaces, the flexible floor plan could easily evolve to include up to five true bedrooms, multiple home offices, a cozy den, or even a dreamy dressing room. Whether you’re a designer, a renovator, or just someone with an eye for what could be, this home is your blank canvas.

One of the standout features? The detached workshop out back — already equipped with electricity and gas service — which is perfect for woodworkers, artists, tinkerers, or anyone in need of a private studio, home gym, or startup headquarters.

The location is equally inspiring. You’re in the heart of East Dallas, close to White Rock Lake, the Dallas Arboretum, and the charm of Lakewood and Lower Greenville. And yes, access to highly sought-after schools and a neighborhood filled with friendly front porches, leafy streets, and homes full of history.

So, if you’ve been waiting for “the one” — a home with authentic character, in a prime location, with real renovation potential — this is it. Bring your ideas, bring your creativity, and come breathe new life into a space that’s ready for its next chapter.
