1219 Haines Avenue

WALK TO THE BISHOP ARTS DISTRICT from this beautifully updated brick cottage, tucked away on a peaceful, tree-lined street adjacent to East Kessler Park and just minutes from Stevens Park Golf Course. With tall ceilings, an open floorplan, and timeless upgrades, this home blends style, comfort, and location in one standout package. The efficient U-shaped kitchen was renovated in 2018 with white quartzite countertops, an eye-catching blue-tiled backsplash, upgraded lighting, a new sink and faucet, and a full set of stainless steel appliances. The kitchen flows easily into the living area, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace (recapped in 2019), making it ideal for both relaxing nights in and lively gatherings. The ensuite primary bedroom is privately tucked away from the secondary bedrooms and features dual sinks and a walk-in closet. Large, sun-filled windows treated with UV film keep interiors bright while helping reduce energy bills. A new roof and windows (2019), plus a new HVAC (2024) and water heater (2023), offer peace of mind for years to come. Built in 1997, this home avoids many of the costly issues often found in older North Oak Cliff properties. Out back, the rectangular yard features a pergola-covered deck, wood privacy fencing, and a fire pit—perfect for pets, play, or outdoor entertaining. The attached 2-car garage is a rare find in this area, with additional off-street parking via a rear driveway and paved alley access. Per the previous seller, this home sits on the hospital power grid and never lost electricity during the 2021 winter storm. Just minutes to downtown, major freeways, and all the dining, shopping, and nightlife Bishop Arts has to offer—this one truly checks every box.
