Original Midcentury Traditional Home with Heritage Live Oak Trees
6219 Joyce Way, Dallas, Texas

Preston Hollow East Home $1,895,000 For Sale
Here is a traditional mid-century modern home that reflects much of original Preston Hollow. It makes sense that a quality custom-built home like this one would be built in the Biglot Addition of Preston Hollow East where one finds the largest lots which are almost one-half acre.
The Home of Della and Earl Lively
This is also the home that Della and Earl Lively lived in for 50 years. Della Lively was synonymous with Preston Hollow. Della and Earl founded Lively Realty. From their office in Preston Center, Della sold more houses in Preston Hollow than any other Realtor in Dallas. Della was one of the top producing agents in the country and over her career sold well over 1,000 homes in Preston Hollow. In other words, since she was aware of every property in Preston Hollow, it is noteworthy that this is the home she chose to live in and enjoy.

Sought After Preston Hollow East Neighborhood
For the last 70 years, people keep selecting Preston Hollow East because it has direct access to downtown Dallas and the best private schools. This Dallas neighborhood also allows one to feel somewhat removed from the city because of the large wide lots and tree-lined streets. While many houses have been torn down, several existing homes remain in which homeowners can enjoy the charm and comfort these mid-century traditional homes were built for.
Renovating or Modifying Midcentury Homes Brings Wonderful Results

Many mid-century homebuyers in the neighborhood elect to renovate a mid-century home and keep the original features like this home has which include the plaster moldings, the pull-out table for folding clothes in the linen closet, the glass block, and original tile in the bathrooms, and the Beauticraft metal cabinets in the kitchen and laundry room.

Value is in Land – House is Free

One of these large libraries provides a serene living area.

Properties like 6219 Joyce Way provide a great opportunity to buy a home embraced by nature that one will love living in.
