Home Details for 5418 Martel Avenue

You've been eyeing the 1930s Tudors on Vanderbilt, running numbers on foundation work, knob-and-tube, and a kitchen untouched since President Carter, wondering whether a real house in a real neighborhood means a decade of weekends. It doesn't. Not on this block. 2,509 square feet. Built in 2006. Three bedrooms, two and a half baths. Two car garage, rear entry. Red brick, classic traditional. J. Gregory built it, and the bones hold. Sellers refinished the hand scraped hardwoods, replaced the lighting from chandeliers to cans, and painted throughout. Downstairs delivers. Tall ceilings. Iron spindle staircase. Crown molding. Living room with real height and a fireplace that pulls it together. The kitchen opens straight into it. Island with bar seating, granite counters, gas range, stainless, tumbled marble backsplash. You're pouring wine, someone's on a stool, someone else is setting the dining table two steps away. Nobody's stranded in another room. Push through to the covered patio. Fall football Saturdays. Summer evening margaritas. Off the main floor, a study. Home office through the week, second living when you want it. Upstairs, room to grow. Two guest bedrooms with a dedicated bath between them. A laundry room with its own walls, not a hallway closet. A second living area with a wet bar, fridge, and beamed ceiling. Master suite with vaulted ceilings and floor space for a chair and a lamp, not just a bed. Bath with travertine accents, jetted tub, separate walk in shower, dual vanities, and a walk in closet built for two. Glencoe Park across the street. Nine acres. Trails, tennis, basketball, playground, softball, rugby, shade. Attached home in central Dallas, and you still get a yard. You just never mow it. Walk to the Granada, Cafe Izmir, Terilli's, Gloria's, Aw Shucks. Two minutes to Truck Yard, HG Sply Co, Trader Joe's, Mockingbird Station. Katy Trail a quarter mile out. The M Streets address. The park. The walk to Greenville.
