Description
This extremely unique residence is perfect for someone with discriminating taste. The Modern has all the qualities of a 4 star suite with the access, privacy, and prestige of a private home. The guest is able to simply park out front or chooses to park in the secure gated parking. My favorite attribute is the large terrace furnished with designer appointed lounge furniture to experience the beauty of the majestic surroundings. One of the great features with staying at the Modern is the access to the pool which was voted “Best in Dallas” by the Dallas Observer Walking distance to Whole Foods, Starbucks, neighborhood restaurants and more! My Airbnb is minutes from Deep Ellum, Lakewood, West Village, and Downtown. Essentially, it’s in the center of town. Some top tourist attractions include Dallas Convention Center, the American Airlines Center (home to the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars), the House of Blues and the Perot Museum of Nature museum all attractions. Located in one of the most prestigious and sought after historic neighborhoods in Dallas. This truly one of a kind gem is surrounded by historic turn of the century estate, 100 year old trees on street lit up by historic lamp lighting and is biking distance to all of Dallas’ most popular neighborhoods. The property is newly restored and is central to Deep Ellum and Lakewood. About the Munger Place Historic District As you step back into the early 20th century, the neighborhood not only looks like something from yesteryear, but the neighbors talk to each other and there are neighborhood events that are planned regularly. Our member events include porch parties, jack-o-lantern carving, Easter egg hunts and more. Munger Place also has public events like Halloween and the Home Tour and/or Wine Walk. The Munger Place neighborhood has been named a Historical District, it requires each home owner to make decisions within the Historic District Ordinance. The Ordinance helps us keep the look and feel very much like it was when the neighborhood was built in the early 1900’s. However, it also includes stipulations on the color of paint that is used, how the repairs or restoration of the home is done, and the items, plants and grass used to landscaping the yard. Munger Place was established in 1905 by cotton gin manufacturer Robert S. Munger on 300 acres as one of Dallas’s first suburbs, and was originally intended to be one of the most exclusive communities in the city. To attract the “right” social element, Munger Place was carefully planned. Just minutes from downtown Dallas by carriage, Munger Place became the very first deed-restricted neighborhood in Texas. Homes had to be a full two stories, cost at least US$2,000 and no house could face a side street. The infrastructure featured such amenities as sidewalks, paved streets, shade trees, sewers, gas mains, and electric street lights. Many of the Dallas’ leading businessmen and social elite soon called magnificent Munger Place home. The Great Depression led many of the community’s mansions to be converted into multi-family housing. The neighborhood lost its elite cachet, and by the 1960s many of the nicer houses in the area had been torn down. Starting in the 1970s, however, Munger Place began to be rediscovered, as enterprising individuals recognized the historic architecture (particularly Prairie Style) and large spaces.
