About 3505 W Lawther Drive
Imagine waking to breathtaking sunrises over White Rock Lake from this extraordinary homesite in the heart of East Dallas. Offering spectacular, unobstructed views of the area’s most cherished natural landmark, this property presents a rare opportunity to create a custom lakefront residence. Originally designed by renowned architect Charles Dilbeck, the existing structure retains signature architectural elements that may be preserved and incorporated into a thoughtful restoration or new construction. One of only a few properties along W. Lawther that backs to Wendy Lane, the lot offers convenient through-access and added design flexibility. The current owners have professionally excavated the former pool, decking, and related equipment, creating a clean, build-ready site with no known impediments to future construction. This is a truly special opportunity to craft a legacy property with sweeping lake views in one of Dallas’ most coveted settings.
