In the heart of White Rock Hills, this architecturally rich East Dallas home brings the bold character of mid-century design into the present—without sacrificing comfort or creativity. Thoughtfully expanded and refreshed by its current owners, it now offers an exceptional flow of space, light, and livability. The kitchen is equal parts form and function, with sleek quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and a statement-making gas range under a designer vent hood—all anchored by a deep trough sink ready for real life. Home chefs will be cheered to know that unlike most homes of this era, Baumgarten has been thoughtfully opened up so that meal prep is not an isolated experience, friends will enjoy lounging on the breakfast nook built in seating or relaxing in the family room both open to the kitchen.
A vintage-inspired bar, tiled to the ceiling and finished with floating wood shelves, sets the stage for evenings worth remembering. Just beyond, new access with custom single light door opens to a decks and the side yard beyond, a turfed escape with privacy and room to roam (plus a custom dog door to make it pup-perfect). The backyard is the kind of setting that makes every season feel like summer. A cedar pergola, styled with cooling fans, overlooks a sparkling lagoon-style pool wrapped in lush landscaping and no-fuss turf. An easy-access pool bath and nearby laundry zone make post-swim cleanup a breeze. Inside the primary suite, calm and character meet with double vessel sinks, warm tilework, and a spacious walk-in shower. Throughout the home, solid wood doors, fresh paint, curated wallpaper, and intelligent storage solutions elevate every room. Even the laundry got a glow-up—fully reimagined for everyday ease. Just minutes from White Rock Lake, the Dallas Arboretum, Humble Pies, Smoky Rose, this home stands out in a sea of sameness. For those who crave timeless style, curated updates, and a neighborhood that still feels like a secret, this is the one.
