After spending this past weekend in the land of mid-century architecture—I’m talking about Palm Springs, of course—I fell in love. Those modern, single-story abodes and their colorful exteriors have forever won my heart, so I decided to kill two birds with one stone. Here, I’ll dedicate a post to them, and find my new Dallas dream home. It’s just good time management.
Here we go.
706 Kessler Woods Trail
Neighborhood: North Oak Cliff
Price: $825,000
Numbers: 2 Bed / 2.1 Bath / 2,366 Square Feet
Highlights: The future owner will get to say they live in one of D Home’s Most Beautiful Homes in Dallas, which (in our opinion) is something. They can also say the house was designed by Jonathan Delcambre, and has really fun Palm Springs-esque wallpaper. But really, you just can’t beat that landscaping.
4605 Watauga Road
Neighborhood: Bluffview
Price: $3,795,000
Numbers: 4 Bed / 4.1 Bath / 5,499 Square Feet
Highlights: Charles Dilbeck designed this striking Bluffview abode, and though the appliances have clearly been brought up to date, every bit of ’50s modernist charm is in tact.
5238 Edmonson Avenue
Neighborhood: Oak Lawn
Price: $1,249,000
Numbers: 4 Bed / 4 Bath / 3,615 Square Feet
Highlights: Tucked away on a tree-lined street by Inwood Road, this home looks like the perfect retreat. We’d happily spend a weekend (or forever) sleeping along the book-lined wall of the spa-like master suite.
