Born out of the Arts and Crafts movement in the 19th century, Craftsman homes are a firm all-American favorite, and thanks to their characterful architecture and robust design, there are plenty of authentic gems still available on the market today. With no shortage of curb appeal and lashings of period features, these Craftsman properties for sale have us completely charmed...

There are two ample double bedrooms, along with two bathrooms decked out in stylish monochrome tiling. We love the clean, simple lines and pared-back color scheme throughout, offering stylish living spaces that pay homage to the home's history.

Outside lies a generous backyard, complete with a large storage shed. With plenty of space to work with, the surrounding land offers the potential for further development too. Located just five minutes from Downtown Dallas, the classic home is ideally situated just a stone's throw away from the desirable Bishop Arts District.
