Tucked beneath a canopy of mature oaks, this 1954 jewel by modernist Arch Swank has been exquisitely renewed by the award-winning team at Bodron + Fruit, while its serene grounds were shaped by Japanese-garden master Ray Entenmann. The result is a seamless conversation between architecture and landscape - a hallmark of the finest mid-century design. Low-slung, butterfly-inspired eaves float above clerestory glass, softly washing interiors with Dallas’ changing light. Floor-to-ceiling windows dissolve boundaries between inside and out, framing Zen-views by day and lantern-like warmth by night. Handmade St Joe brick, natural stone flooring, white oak and walnut showcase the delicate design updates by Bodron + Fruit to Swank’s craftsmanship while providing timeless texture. Perched on the second level, the owner’s retreat gazes directly into the treetops and Japanese patio, pairing spa-caliber bath finishes with a custom dressing gallery. A sleek, cabinetry-lined passage marries function with form-an intentional moment of surprise in the home’s procession. The kitchen flows into a large utility and mud room that connects with the carport. One of the few remaining Swank residences in Dallas, meticulously preserved. Set back on a quiet, tree-lined street yet walkable to shops, cafés, and restaurants. Updated Miele appliances, HVAC, electrical, and designer lighting ensure effortless contemporary living inside a celebrated mid-century envelope. An expansive living salon unfolds through floor-to-ceiling glass onto the Japanese-inspired patio, where a sculptural water feature sets the stage for cocktail evenings or quiet reflection. This is not just a home; it’s a piece of Dallas architectural heritage—an intimate sculpture of glass, brick, and timber that lives larger than its footprint thanks to thoughtful craftsmanship and a profound dialogue with nature.
