Welcome to a true Preston Hollow original — an exceptional 1951 residence crafted by renowned architect Charles Dilbeck. Perfectly sited on a nearly one-acre lot, this midcentury masterpiece offers a blend of historic charm, architectural integrity, and resort-style living in one of Dallas’ most coveted enclaves.
Every detail of this home reflects Dilbeck’s distinct design ethos, from the inviting brick façade to the dramatic vaulted ceilings supported by hand-selected beams from a century-old Waxahachie barn. Large, open-concept living spaces with oversized windows invite the outdoors in, offering seamless flow and natural light throughout the home.
A chef-inspired kitchen has been recently updated to meet modern needs, with state-of-the-art appliances, designer finishes, and a generous center island that opens to a relaxed den overlooking the backyard. Whether hosting a formal dinner or a casual Sunday brunch, the layout is perfectly designed for today’s lifestyle.
The primary suite is a luxurious escape, featuring a spa-quality bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, a separate glass-enclosed shower, and a large walk-in closet. Two additional spacious bedrooms share a beautifully designed bathroom with timeless finishes.
The outdoor space rivals that of a boutique resort — a serene pool, covered outdoor living and dining areas, a built-in kitchen, and a vast yard perfect for entertaining or unwinding. A detached workshop provides space for hobbies or future conversion into a private guest cottage or home office.
This extraordinary home offers a rare chance to own a piece of Dallas history while enjoying the comfort and style of contemporary updates in an unparalleled setting.
