8719 STANWOOD DRIVE, DALLAS, TX 75228

A rare opportunity to own a true mid-century modern--done right. Originally built in 1956, this home was taken down to the studs and thoughtfully rebuilt with a clear mission: preserve the architecture! Where many homes of this era are either left dated or over-modernized, this one strikes the balance perfectly. The original roofline, window placement, and design intent were respected, while every major system behind the walls was completely updated--delivering the character of mid-century design with the comfort of modern living. A dramatic cantilevered metal roofline sets the tone, complemented by decorative brick, wood slat siding, and a striking architectural presence. Natural light pours through clerestory windows and skylights, while the open layout flows seamlessly to a private outdoor terrace--capturing that effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle mid-century homes are known for. Updates include white oak hardwood floors, fully updated plumbing including sewer lines, a whole-house water filtration system, and an EV charging setup in the carport. Even recent structural enhancements--like the extension of the cantilevered roofline--were executed with respect for the original design, enhancing rather than competing with it. Located just minutes from White Rock Lake and the Dallas Arboretum, this home offers not just a place to live, but a piece of architectural integrity that's increasingly hard to find.
