Tucked into the heart of Midway Hills, this remarkable 2 bedroom, 1 bath home carries a piece of Dallas history. Reportedly purchased by Mr. Cox II at the 1936 Centennial Exposition at Fair Park, the home originally sat on a large tract at Northaven and Cox Lane where his aunts once lived. Decades later, the prior owner of the corner property at Cox Lane thoughtfully replatted the lots and relocated this residence to the rear of her property. Although it bears a Whitehall address, the home actually faces Cox Lane and presents like a private guest house to the stately 1960 two story Victorian on the corner. Set on an expansive 108 x 164 lot, the setting feels like a park, with mature trees and natural landscaping surrounding the front and side yards. A small fenced yard and wood deck sit just off the sunroom, while the remainder of the grounds extend north toward Whitehall, creating a rare sense of space and privacy. Inside, historic character blends seamlessly with tasteful updates. The large living room features dark stained hardwood floors and a woodburning fireplace, opening to a formal dining room and then to a bright sunroom that makes an ideal home office or reading retreat. French doors lead from the sunroom to the deck and fenced yard. The beautifully updated kitchen offers replaced cabinetry, quartz countertops, black tile backsplash, solid surface work areas, an undermount copper sink, and stainless appliances including a gas range, built in microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator. A full laundry room with washer and dryer is provided. Two spacious bedrooms share a charming updated bath. Original doors with vintage hardware, replaced windows and thoughtfully selected paint colors add warmth and personality throughout. Uncovered parking is located just off the alley beside the home. A truly unique lease opportunity for those who appreciate architecture, history, and a peaceful setting in one of Northwest Dallas' most established neighborhoods. Tenants pay all utilities including water, gas & electricity - plus internet & cable etc. Tenant will also need renter's insurance policy to cover their contents.
