6908 Lakeshore Drive, Dallas, Texas – Sold by Douglas Newby

This historic home is beautifully sited in the heart of Lakewood. Found near the top of a hill, it looks down the street that winds to White Rock Lake. From the front yard, one looks up the street to Lakewood Boulevard, and from the rear deck and back yard, one looks through a layer of trees to the historic homes on Tokalon in the distance. Here is a home and site that capture the finest qualities of the Lakewood Dallas neighborhood and the historic homes that reflect its prestigious, classic character. The interior of the home includes a grand formal staircase that connects to an informal rear family or staff staircase. The expensive estate homes of the era in Lakewood and on Swiss Avenue had quarter-basements, perfectly suited for mechanical systems or wine cellars.
