Property Description

A rare opportunity to own a true mid-century modern done right. Originally built in 1956, this home was taken down to the studs and thoughtfully rebuilt with a clear mission: preserve the architecture! Where many homes of this era are either left dated or over-modernized, this one strikes the balance perfectly. The original roofline, window placement, and design intent were respected, while every major system behind the walls was completely updated delivering the character of mid-century design with the comfort of modern living. A dramatic cantilevered metal roofline sets the tone, complemented by decorative brick, wood slat siding, and a striking architectural presence. Natural light pours through clerestory windows and skylights, while the open layout flows seamlessly to a private outdoor terrace capturing that effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle mid-century homes are known for. Updates include white oak hardwood floors, fully updated plumbing including sewer lines, a whole-house water filtration system, and an EV charging setup in the carport. Even recent structural enhancements like the extension of the cantilevered roofline were executed with respect for the original design, enhancing rather than competing with it. Located just minutes from White Rock Lake and the Dallas Arboretum, this home offers not just a place to live, but a piece of architectural integrity that’s increasingly hard to find.
