Set on one of the most picturesque and heavily-treed streets in the heart of Lakewood, this mid-century modern home designed by architect Thomas Scott Dean offers an exceptionally rare opportunity to own a piece of Dallas architectural history. Arguably one of the coolest homes in Lakewood, the home’s list of accolades includes the White Rock Home Tour, House and Home Magazine, the Housing Hall of Fame, and the 1956 Dallas Times Herald Newspaper. Landscaping inspired by Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx complements other design elements like original terrazzo and brick flooring, large expanses of glass (updated Pella windows), and original plumbing fixtures to provide a level of character, charm, and natural light not often found today. Likewise, the home offers a number of popular modern amenities like turf grass, a standby generator, quartz countertops, and an exceptional appliance package. Do not miss the opportunity to own this beauty!
