Welcome to the iconic Garden Elephant Cottage, a distinctive single-story brick residence offering 3 bedrooms and 2.1 baths in an exceptional central Dallas location. Just 2.5 miles from SMU, approximately 8 minutes from UT Southwestern Medical Center and the Medical District, 5 minutes from Dallas Love Field, and only a few blocks from the Dallas North Tollway, the home offers remarkable convenience.

Multiple living areas, a dedicated dining room, and a library or study overlooking the pool provide exceptional flexibility for entertaining, everyday living, or working from home. Outside, a private pool is surrounded by lush gardens and a shaded patio, creating a secluded retreat for entertaining or relaxing. An alley-access driveway and garage provide convenient off-street parking while preserving the home’s charming street presence. Immaculate, iconic, and ideally located, the Garden Elephant Cottage is a rare opportunity to own a truly special Dallas home in the heart of it all. **ALSO LISTED FOR LEASE for $4,900 per month**
