A rare Mid-Century Modern estate where history, privacy, and nature converge in one of Dallas' most extraordinary settings. Originally commissioned in 1955 by Trammell Crow for his mother and thoughtfully restored and expanded from 2022–2024, this architectural masterpiece blends timeless design with modern luxury. Privately positioned on more than half an acre at one of the highest elevations in Dallas and backing directly to Norbuck Park, this home offers an experience almost impossible to replicate within city limits. Surrounded by mature trees, sweeping views, and remarkable privacy, it feels less like a Dallas residence and more like a private resort retreat hidden within the city. The outdoor living is truly unforgettable and serves as the heart of the home. Designed for entertaining and everyday escape, the grounds feature a sparkling pool and spa, full-size sport court, expansive covered deck, and exceptional outdoor kitchen with dual refrigerators, grill, cooktop, beverage fridge, and granite bar overlooking the park and surrounding landscape. Private access to Norbuck Park hiking trails creates a seamless connection to nature just beyond your backyard. For dog lovers, this property is a dream, complete with its own private enclosed dog park and pet-friendly design where four-legged family members can safely run and play. Inside, walls of glass and expansive sliding doors bring the outdoors in, filling the home with natural light and creating effortless indoor-outdoor living. The thoughtfully designed floorplan features 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, multiple living areas, chef's kitchen, private guest suite, and spa-inspired primary retreat while preserving the home's iconic Mid-Century character. Homes offering this level of history, privacy, and resort-style living rarely become available. More than a home, this is a private sanctuary and a true Dallas legacy property unlike anything else on the market.
Old Lake Highlands, located between White Rock Lake and Lake Highlands, is a residential and lakeside Dallas neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and winding, tree-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the White Rock Lake spillway at Lawther Drive, where cyclists, runners, and picnickers circulate beside open water and skyline views. Architectural lines lean low and modern, with brick ranches and thoughtful renovations set back behind deep lots. Daily rhythms orbit the lake’s trails and pocket parks, with a calm, outdoors-forward feel. Community pillars include the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, White Rock Lake Park, and the Bath House Cultural Center for exhibitions and performances. Nearby corridors along Garland Road add local dining and coffee without shifting the quiet residential tone.

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.
