About 10324 Lake Gardens Drive
Authentic Mid-Century Modern done right. Built in 1955 and located in Lochwood, one of Dallas’s best value neighborhoods, 10324 Lake Gardens is a rare example of a real MCM that has been 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 inspiring and functional, featuring a modernized artist studio converted from the original garden shed, a second structure repurposed as a detached garage, and a large custom patio connecting the spaces—ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings outdoors.Three bedrooms, two full baths, living room, den and original carport complete this special offering. All this within the fab friendly vibe that is Lochwood, White Rock Lake proximity, local great eats! This is Mid-Century Modern as it was meant to be:timeless, soulful, and one of one.
