In the heart of East Dallas, an eye-catching Midcentury Modern home is turning heads with its striking design and vibrant blue exterior. This standout property, located near White Rock Lake, is the Highlight Home of the Week, presented by Lisa Peters, Senior Loan Officer with First Horizon.
Known for its simplicity, the house boasts a stunning combination of brick and stone detail harmoniously complemented by a mesmerizing shade of blue. Listing agent Ed Murchison of Coldwell Banker Realty describes it as having an exceptional Midcentury Modern aesthetic, with its captivating Helios Blue facade drawing immediate attention.
Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a foyer featuring soaring vaulted ceilings and an impressive exposed brick wall planter, setting the tone for stylish living. Murchison, a seasoned realtor specializing in Midcentury Modern homes, emphasizes the uniqueness of the original brick planters and the architectural screen that adds visual interest to the entryway.
The home’s kitchen exudes contemporary flair with polished concrete floors and a lofted ceiling illuminated by recessed lighting. White Krion countertops pair perfectly with a chic glass tile backsplash and crisp white cabinetry adorned with warm leather pulls, creating an inviting and functional cooking space.
A standout feature of the kitchen is the breakfast area, equipped with a magnificent picture window that frames views of the front lawn and street. This addition floods the space with natural light, making it an ideal spot for casual meals, work, or leisurely reading.
“One of the most appealing aspects of this residence is its abundance of large picture windows,” Murchison highlights. This architectural element significantly enhances the airy, bright ambiance and fosters a welcoming energy throughout the house.
The dining room is spacious and stylish, conveniently connected to the kitchen through an elegant peninsula. Here, elegant lighting fixtures and the distinctive exposed brick wall separating it from the living room add refinement to the space.
The living area embodies the Palm Springs vibe, melding Midcentury Modern elements with a contemporary twist. Featuring a striking fireplace and textured exposed brick, this space is Murchison’s favorite part of the home. The vaulted ceilings and polished concrete floors contribute to a sense of spaciousness, while easy access to the patio encourages seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the innovative landscaping that adorns the front motorcourt. Surprisingly, the agave plants are actually metal sculptures, offering a stylish yet low-maintenance solution to curb appeal. This clever design choice has quickly become a favorite element of the home.
The rear yard features a cozy patio that spans off the living room, providing a tranquil retreat for family gatherings or pet playtime amidst plenty of green space and shade.
This Midcentury Modern beauty strikes a perfect balance between timeless character and contemporary updates, making it a move-in-ready masterpiece. Currently listed at $525,000 by Ed Murchison of Coldwell Banker Realty, this home invites those seeking a unique blend of style and functionality.
