1622 Cedar Hill Ave Dallas, TX 75208

Available for the first time in nearly 30 years, this history-filled stone home completed in 1876 is ready for its next chapter. Rock Lodge sits on a limestone embankment above Coombs Creek in what is now East Kessler Park in North Oak Cliff. Sashuel Aaron (S.A.) Rush built the house for his wife a short 20 years after the city itself was incorporated, and when Oak Cliff was itself a city. Drive up past the stone fence, into the private, tree-lined property, and you will feel a million miles away from the bustling city of Dallas, which is just a 5-minute drive. The covered front porch greets you as you step back in time. Stunning 3-foot stone walls make up the entire construction of the original part of the home. Four original fireplaces were uncovered by the current owners, and 3 of them were restored to working order. The unbelievable craftsmanship and attention to detail shine, from the gorgeous hardwood floors, and double-hung windows, to the soaring ceilings and plaster walls. Every room is oversized with generous windows letting natural light gently stream in. Updates to the home include a spacious kitchen addition with a central island, plentiful storage, and pantry; a 2-car garage, a full primary suite with sitting area, walk-in closets, and bath, central HVAC, and a lovely stone courtyard. There is truly nothing else like this!
