Looking for something fun to do in East Dallas this weekend? Come check out the 34th annual Lakewood Home Festival! The festival, which is put on by the Lakewood Early Childhood PTA, benefits neighborhoodpublic schools: Lakewood Elem., J.L. Long Middle School and Woodrow Wilson High School. The festival which kicks off Friday night with a candlelight tour of homes and an auction party themed “Viva Las Lakewood”, includes an artisan market at Lakewood Elementary and a tour of 6 of the most beautiful homes in the city.
Last year’s festival raised $103,000 for our schools, quite an accomplishment for a group of volunteers! I have to admit, I’m partial to this organization, having served on the board and on the festival committee for three years. It takes a lot of hard work to put together and it is an amazing feat when you consider how many people attend every year and who come from all over to enjoy the festivities! Here’s a link to the website http://www.lecpta.org/lakewoodhomefestival/default.htm.
Here is some information about the homes that are on tour this year, hope to see you there!
The Homes
602 Brookside – Lovely 1920’s Mediterranean eclectic has been updated while keeping or restoring many of the original details. It has a beautiful drive-up, with a pool and new back house overlooking the golf course!.
6416 Lake Circle - Check out the private lake behind this home! This terrific two-story modern was transformed from a once modest, one-level ranch. Great before & after pictures
6650 Lakewood Blvd – Gorgeous Mediterranean decorated with a beautiful mix of antiques with a modern flair. This home is absolutely stunning, inside & out!
6661 Lakewood Blvd – Beautifully restored and renovated, this home has many interesting historical details. Wait until you see the horsehair plaster moldings in the living room and the bricks hand-painted to match the original!.
7034 Lakewood Blvd. – The original Hutsell model home from the 1930’s! Beautiful murals, Rookwood fireplace, this home also has a lovely addition that stayed true to the time period.
7124 Pasadena – An interesting, eclectic, hill country update to a traditional 50’s ranch. The homeowner is a master gardener; so the home lends itself to an indoor/outdoor feel with many “green” details and serious southern charm.
Candlelight Tour Only – 7148 Tokalon – **BONUS HOUSE** Truly incredible home, completely redone, including an elevator and wine room, tucked away behind a canopy of trees, with beautiful grounds, will be a special addition for our candlelight ticket holders.
