Featured in D Magazine and showcased on the White Rock Home Tour, this remarkable 1950s contemporary in Old Lake Highlands is a rare architectural offering, transformed by two artists with a clear vision for design, flow, and modern livability. A custom, extra-wide steel pivot door sets the stage for what’s inside: natural oak flooring, museum-finish walls, architectural windows, and a sleek, minimalist kitchen with floating shelves and clean-lined cabinetry. The split-level dining and family rooms enhance the spatial experience, creating separation while maintaining openness. The primary suite is accessed through a striking atrium-style hallway, with its own patio access and a spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub, oversized shower, and dual vanities, all thoughtfully designed for function and refinement. Out back, a professionally landscaped yard is anchored by a terra-cotta tiled patio with a breeze block wall and a custom cantilevered patio cover, ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings overlooking the 10-foot splash pool. Exterior lighting extends the ambiance into the evening, while a motorized sliding gate opens to a covered parking space. Additional features include foam insulation, new plumbing and electrical systems, a tankless water heater, and a new roof, delivering a high-efficiency home that’s as practical as it is well-crafted. Less than a mile from White Rock Lake and walkable to highly rated Hexter Elementary, the home is also centrally located with a quick commute to downtown Dallas and close to some of East Dallas’ most notable restaurants. This is a rare fusion of architecture, design, and everyday function in one of Dallas’ most desirable pockets.

R-7.5(A)
Single Family 7,500 sq ft District
This district comprises a major portion of the existing single family dwelling development of the city and is considered to be the proper zoning classification for large areas of the undeveloped land remaining in the city appropriate for single family dwelling use. This district is intended to be composed of single family dwellings together with public and private schools, churches, and public parks essential to create basic neighborhood units. Limited portions of these neighborhood units may consist of denser residential zoning classifications which are shown on the zoning district map or which later may be created by amendments to the map.

Dallas is a city where location can dramatically shape the experience, with each area offering its own mix of architecture, dining, entertainment, and accessibility. One thing I always encourage buyers to consider is how they’ll actually move around...
