Architecturally Iconic Mid-Century Modern on Creekside Cul-de-Sac Tucked away on a rare cul-de-sac lot backing to a serene creek, this mid-century modern jewel box is ultra-cool. Custom-built in 1966 by a prominent Dallas developer, the home is a rare architectural treasure. Designed by acclaimed Dallas icon Gerald Tomlin, who was a regular appraiser on Antiques Roadshow and won numerous awards, this property was featured in both Architectural Digest and The Dallas Morning News as a testament to Southwest midcentury modern design. Walls of glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, illuminating generous living spaces beneath soaring tongue-and-groove wood ceilings. At its heart, a dramatic sunken living room anchors the home—centered on a monumental stone fireplace and mirrored by another on the back terrace—creating an opportunity for indoor-outdoor living surrounded with views of the lush, creekside landscape and beyond, to a private island in the rear. The primary suite includes its own sunken sitting area, stone fireplace, and direct access to the verdant grounds. You will want to remove the sheetrock, to reveal the original brick wall. Discovering architectural treasures is half the fun of rescuing a midcentury modern! A separate full apartment—complete with living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bath—provides ideal accommodations for guests or multi-generational living. There is very little that is more satisfying to someone that truly understands the midcentury era, than restoring a home to its former glory. This is a project, but what an extraordinary opportunity to own and preserve an architecturally significant piece of Dallas history.
