Description

Nothing prepares one for the utter charm and comfort of this immaculately preserved 1939 traditional home sited in one of Dallas’ premier neighborhoods. Overlooking one of the coveted, treed greenbelts, the residence is sited on a lovely 70’ x 135’ lot and has been thoughtfully reimagined by the current owner. The private entry courtyard with fountain hints at what lies beyond. The gracious entry foyer spans the length of the house, offering views of the rear patio and greenbelt through some of the many deeply recessed windows found throughout the house. The warmth of the home envelops you. The entry foyer is flanked by the great room with its beamed cathedral ceiling, central brick fireplace, numerous bookshelves, and bar. Two sets of French doors open to the courtyard and create wonderful flow for entertaining. The immaculately appointed beamed kitchen and the adjoining breakfast-living area are opposite. The central hallway leads to the private primary bedroom suite. French doors open to one of the exterior patios overlooking the yard and greenspace. The formal living room with numerous seating areas is centered around a second fireplace. Past the central hallway staircase and beveled rear door lies the oversized dining room with wonderful space for large gatherings. A graceful staircase leads to two inviting ensuite bedrooms. One is adjoined by a cozy sitting area and a small library with balcony overlooking the great room. A separate staircase leads to a private fourth bedroom and bath in the eves, reminiscent of an enchanting European hotel room. This very special home creates that rare feeling of the way life used to be.
