Stone-stack walls. A twenty-foot porte cochère. Sunburst doors. A canopy of Live Oaks you feel the moment you turn in.
Tucked off Royal Lane, the home does not face the street — you feel that the moment you turn in. A twenty-foot porte cochère sets the scale, and heroic sunburst doors meet you at the threshold. Inside, stone-stack walls carry through from the exterior, preserving the architect's original vision.
A full cosmetic and systems renovation in 2020 brought everything current without erasing the soul of the house. The powder bath stays original — because the 1970s vibe is the point.
Modern in spirit. Mid-century in bones.
Engineered around the rhythm of a working kitchen, not a showroom. Storage where it should be, prep space where you want it, sight lines into the great room and out to the pool. A room designed to disappear into the conversation.
A kitchen for the cook, not the camera.
"This home was built to host — a graduation party that flows from kitchen to pool to lawn without anyone bumping elbows, or the best three-hundred-person baby shower."
Downstairs holds four dedicated bedrooms, including a primary suite that opens directly to the pool. Upstairs adds a second primary, a great room, a balcony overlooking the water, and a loft that works as a second office or gym.
The current office overlooks the pool with a full en-suite bath, so it flexes to a fifth bedroom whenever the moment calls. For visiting parents, in-laws, or a college kid back for the summer, the second floor gives them their own world. Upstairs is already plumbed for a wet bar.
Four bedrooms down. A whole second story up.
The kind of work you don't see, done by people who know it's the part that matters.
Pro-grade cooking suite with custom cabinetry built around it.
Whole-home dimming and scene control, app and keypad.
Three bays plus space for a lift to accommodate a fourth vehicle.
Independent control across both floors for true year-round comfort.
Integrated whole-home sprinkler system already in place.
Lit, with sump pump and dehumidifier — moisture and pests controlled.
Mature trees, lawn, and pool — all behind the front line of the lot.
Second-floor great room pre-plumbed for a wet bar when ready.
Russwood Acres sits in the quiet middle of the city — close to Preston Hollow, the Park Cities, and the corridors that connect them. Both Love Field and DFW are short drives. So is downtown.
One acre. Mature trees. A renovated 1970s modern that still honors the architect's vision. It would be our honor to walk you through it.
