Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity on White Rock Lake! Don’t miss this rare chance to own a true piece of Dallas history—nestled directly across from the iconic White Rock Lake, this mid-century gem offers unbeatable views and an unbeatable location. Wake up to breathtaking sunrises and sip your morning coffee while gazing at the lake from your front yard. With White Rock Lake and Park just steps away, nature and serenity are right outside your door. This architecturally significant home was designed by the legendary Charles Dilbeck—one of the most admired residential architects in Dallas history. Owned by the same family since the 1960s, the home is solidly built with steel beams running across its frame and a strong foundation, ready to welcome its next chapter. Step inside and you’ll find yourself in a lovingly preserved 1950s time capsule, complete with expansive windows that capture the beauty of the lake, skylights that flood the space with natural light, and charming original details throughout. The kitchen is the only space that has been updated, featuring granite countertops. The rest of the home is full of potential and awaits your vision and TLC. Additional features include a 2-car garage, 2-car carport, pool, and a spacious outdoor kitchen—perfect for entertaining or relaxing lakeside. This is more than just a home—it’s a legacy. Come see why this property is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a slice of White Rock Lake history. *Professional pics coming soon* Proof of funds must be sent to listing agent before showings, serious inquiries only*

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
