This historical Lakewood home within walking distance of White Rock Lake dates back almost 100 years
If you’re looking for a home with historic details, Dallas’s Lakewood neighborhood is a surefire choice for classic designs. This Tudor-style home on coveted Tokalon Drive has original features and has been maintained for nearly 100 years.
Built in 1925 on a 0.34 acre corner lot, the home has four bedrooms and four bathrooms covering an area of 4,145 square feet. The house is across from Tokalon Park and not far from the shores of White Rock Lake. You can easily take a walk to the filter building and access the hiking trails around the lake.
Co-listing agent Natalie Hatchett said the house had “storybook charm”.
“So many houses these days are huge white boxes, and I love that every room is functional and preserved from an era of meaningful construction and attention to detail,” she wrote.
The living room is perhaps the grandest part of the house, with its vaulted ceilings and wood beam accents. A landing on the second level has a wooden railing and overlooks the living room below. On one side of the room there is a small, wood-paneled alcove around the fireplace. There are stained glass windows above the niche that let in softly tinted light through the pastel-colored designs.
You will find charming historical details throughout the house, such as the fireplace in the dining room with a recessed bookcase on one side. The house has moldings throughout, and there are a series of windows along one side of the kitchen that surrounds a curved alcove.

The master suite is on the second level and has its own screened in porch overlooking the neighborhood park. Two bathrooms have vintage-look bathtubs and many living rooms have fireplaces. There is an additional living room above the garage, which could be a home office or guest quarters.
The home has a pool, spa, and space for outdoor seating on the back patio.
Becky Frey and Natalie Hatchett of Compass listed the house on 7048 Tokalon Drive for $ 1,699,000.
