This Sunset Heights residence combines vintage character with targeted modern updates. Built in 1942, the 950-square-foot, single-story home has been refreshed to preserve original hardwood floors while introducing an updated kitchen with quartz countertops. Its location on Ivandell Avenue places it within easy reach of the Bishop Arts District, Trinity Groves and downtown Dallas, providing strong lifestyle and transportation connections for residents.
The property sits on a 0.145-acre (6,316 sq ft) lot and offers a fully fenced backyard and a 1-car detached garage with driveway parking. Documented systems include central air conditioning and central natural gas heating; the roof is composition shingle construction per records. Interior planning is described as an open floor plan that maximizes the house’s compact footprint; condition is reported as good in available records.
Local market indicators and recent neighborhood sales provide the primary valuation context. A set of nearby sales within 0.5 miles in 2023 supports an estimated value range of $310,000–$340,000 with a midpoint of $325,000, and the county assessed value ($323,120 in 2025) aligns closely with those comparisons. Market-level metrics show a relatively tight supply environment—about 2.5 months of inventory and an average days-on-market around 30—alongside recent appreciation trends (approximately 5% year-over-year and 25% over five years).
Occupancy and income signals identify the property as owner-occupied in tax records, with mailing address matching the property. For investors, rental comp data points to estimated monthly rent near $2,200 (about $2.32/sf), producing a gross rental yield estimate in the neighborhood of 8.1% using current estimates. Recommended use cases from the research include continued owner-occupancy, short-term buy-and-rent strategies, or a longer-term hold given steady neighborhood appreciation.
Key due diligence items are noted: confirm lot dimensions and boundaries, verify renovation permits, a professional home inspection (foundation, plumbing, electrical), and a roof condition assessment. The neighborhood offers a mix of residential streets and nearby retail corridors, nearby parks, and cultural destinations—making this a practical choice for buyers prioritizing proximity to dining, shopping, and downtown access while retaining a modest, updated traditional home.
