A Dallas Landmark, Available for the First Time in Nearly a Century

Lemon Fresh Laundromat + Adjoining Residential Lot

6648 Lemmon Avenue & 6706 Mabel Avenue, Dallas, Texas

For over 97 years, a single family has owned and cared for this corner of Dallas. Now, for the first time, Lemon Fresh Laundromat and its adjoining residential lot are being offered together — a rare assemblage at the hard corner of Mabel and Lemmon, where visibility, traffic, and neighborhood momentum converge.

This is more than a building. It's a piece of Dallas history, a longtime service to an underserved community, and a strategic land position on the edge of one of the city's most popular residential corridors.

The Property

Anchored on the hard corner of Mabel Avenue and Lemmon Avenue, the laundromat parcel offers true corner exposure in a high-traffic, high-recognition location. The adjoining lot at 6706 Mabel Avenue includes an existing residence, creating a flexible two-parcel assemblage with commercial frontage and residential depth.

The laundromat operated successfully for decades, serving a neighborhood with limited laundry options — a true underserved market. Operations were paused in July 2026 due to a family illness, making this a clean, motivated sale. All contents and equipment convey at closing, giving the next owner the option to relaunch immediately, modernize, or reposition.

Heritage & Significance

Few properties in Dallas carry this kind of generational story. Nearly a century of continuous family ownership speaks to the corner's enduring value and the community's lasting connection to the site. In July 2026, a new historical marker was installed on the same block, formally recognizing the area's significance and adding a layer of cultural draw that few commercial corners can claim.

The site sits on the edge of the Bird Street subdivision — one of Dallas's most popular and appreciating neighborhoods — placing this corner directly adjacent to a thriving residential community with strong and growing demand.

Zoning & Future-Use Potential

The laundromat parcel is zoned commercial, while the adjoining home is zoned residential. The area falls within a planned development district that supports retail uses, opening the door to a wide range of possibilities:

• Reopen the laundromat as a turnkey owner-operator business in an underserved market
• Modernize and rebrand as a contemporary laundromat or wash-and-fold concept
• Develop retail on the commercial parcel under the planned development district
• Hold for appreciation alongside rising Bird Street values
• Reposition the assemblage for mixed-use or redevelopment potential

Why This Corner

• Hard corner at Mabel and Lemmon — maximum visibility and access
• 97+ years of single-family ownership — a true generational offering
• Equipment and contents convey — turnkey reactivation potential
• Underserved market — proven demand for laundry services
• Adjoining residential lot — flexible assemblage, multiple parcels
• Edge of Bird Street subdivision — prime adjacent residential demand
• New historical marker (July 2026) — formalized cultural significance
• Planned development district — retail-supportive zoning framework

Ideal For

• Owner-operators seeking a turnkey laundromat in an established, underserved market
• Value-add investors looking to modernize and reposition a legacy business
• Retail developers targeting a high-exposure corner in a strengthening corridor
• Long-term holders looking to acquire a piece of Dallas history alongside rising Bird Street

A Rare Opportunity

Properties like this don't come to market — they stay in families for generations. 97 years of single-family ownership, a hard corner on a rising corridor, an adjoining residential lot, conveying equipment, and a brand-new historical marker all combine to make this one of the most distinctive commercial offerings in Dallas this year.
