Designed by architect Frank Welch and nestled behind a gated courtyard, this inviting, modern home offers warmth, sophistication and privacy on a desirable Highland Park block. With its standing seam metal roof, trio of covered porches, and attractive blend of sleek and rustic materials, the house combines many elements of Welch's Texas Modern vocabulary to create a stylish, unpretentious home with a casual, comfortable layout.
A unique interplay of interior and exterior spaces, the first floor has abundant light and pleasant garden views from every room. The informal, open plan includes a cozy library with a fireplace and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves; a beautifully-scaled dining room; plus a gourmet kitchen & breakfast area and skylit family room with a trussed ceiling and additional fireplace. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite and three additional bedrooms are arranged for privacy along a windowed hallway. Built in 1995, the house has been well maintained, retaining the spirit of Welch's original design, but is ready for your 2025 updates. This home also has a two-car attached garage with ample storage and its 50- ft. x 200-ft. lot features mature landscaping. Armstrong Elementary School, the Highland Park Pool, the Katy Trail and several parks, as well as the shops and restaurants on Knox Street, are all within walking distance. It is also a quick drive to the Highland Park Village, Snyder Plaza, SMU and Mockingbird Station.
