Mid-Century Modern Elegance in Forest Hills! Timeless 1960s architecture meets modern sophistication in this updated single-story estate on a 0.3-acre lot. Behind a stately iron gate, discover a rare front courtyard pool—a signature Mid-Century design that adds personality and potential. Framed by mature trees on a quiet, 95-foot-wide lot, the property also includes a detached rear studio—ideal for a guest suite, gym, or creative workspace. Inside, classic terrazzo floors anchor open living spaces with raised ceilings, exposed wood beams, and a dramatic rock-and-stone wood-burning fireplace set against a wall of elongated brick. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the home with natural light, connecting seamlessly to the courtyard and backyard. The chef’s kitchen features an 8-foot marble peninsula, stainless steel appliances, and a commercial-grade range. Three spacious bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and an oversized garage complete this Forest Hills gem—just minutes from White Rock Lake, the Dallas Arboretum, Downtown Dallas, and top private schools. Tremendous value and potential in one of East Dallas’ most desirable neighborhoods.
