Authentic Mid-Century Modern done right. Built in 1955 and located in the Eastwood neighborhood of East Dallas, 10324 Lake Gardens is a rare example of a true MCM—modernized with care, never compromised.
The original solid wood front door with alternating vertical wood relief sets the tone. Inside, classic mid-century elements shine: angled living room ceilings with exposed beams, a warm Roman split brick fireplace, and an effortless connection to the outdoors through walls of original steel-cased windows overlooking a heavily treed interior lot.
The kitchen remains beautifully intact with original solid wood cabinetry, a glass-front showcase cabinet, double pantry storage, original Formica countertops with custom wood edge, a deep rectangular sink updated in period style, and original treadled linoleum flooring that true MCM lovers will appreciate.
Both bathrooms have been thoughtfully renovated. The front en suite features a new vanity, updated hardware, and a refreshed original shower. The spacious main bath delivers spa-level style with floor-to-ceiling Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired grid tile in two nature-driven tones, paired with a designer faucet and shower system.
A rare bonus for homes of this era, the dedicated utility laundry room replaces the typical garage setup and offers abundant cabinetry, natural light, workspace, and conveys with stackable washer and dryer.
The terraced backyard is both inspiring and highly functional, featuring a modernized artist studio converted from the original garden shed, a rear-facing detached garage, and a large custom patio connecting the spaces—ideal for entertaining, creative work, or quiet evenings outdoors.
Three bedrooms, two full baths, living room, den, utility laundry room, and original carport complete the home.
Set in a highly livable pocket of East Dallas, with popular eats and drinks just blocks away and easy access to Peavy and Mockingbird for quick trips to White Rock Lake.
This is Mid-Century Modern as it was meant to be—timeless, soulful, and truly one of one.
