    mid century modern paradise

    Significant home in Dallas' Oak Cliff strides onto market for $4M

    Architecture aficionados won't want to miss out on this $4 million immaculate mid-century modern home that is scheduled to land on Dallas' luxury real estate market on August 14.

    Situated on an expansive 2.09-acre lot in the highly coveted Kessler Lake Estates neighborhood in Dallas, 718 Kessler Lake Drive is a time capsule of mid-century modern design combined with the timelessness of luxury. The property listing is managed by agent Eugene Gonzalez at Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate.

    The home boasts four spacious bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and two half baths across 6,416 square feet of space. The primary suite conveniently connects to a secondary room that can be used as an office or sitting room. The primary suite also opens up to a balcony overlooking the property.

    The kitchen is equipped with three sinks, an ice maker, a custom-built island, a stainless steel backsplash, and deluxe kitchen appliances like a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer.

    Other highlights of the residence include:

    • Marble vanities in the bathrooms
    • Three expansive living rooms with custom-built cabinetry, brick, wood-paneling, and floor-to-ceiling windows
    • Two fireplaces
    • A game room with a cooktop area and space for a refrigerator
    • Three wet bars, including a pool bar that comes with a refrigerator
    • Custom acoustic tile ceilings and designer wall coverings

    The home was originally built in 1956 and was designed by renowned architects Harold E. “Hep” Prinz and LaVere Brooks. However, the home has a much deeper history that dates back to more than a century ago.

    "Built on solid rock within a native bird and plant sanctuary established more than 115 years ago by the late R.A. Gilliam, a famed Dallas forester and naturalist, this home was the result of an exceptional collaboration," the release says.

    Gonzalez calls the property a "once-in-a-generation opportunity" for the next owner, as they will be regarded as a steward of the estate's ongoing legacy.

    “The home was originally designed for Earl Hayes, the first Chevrolet dealer in town, and wife Alline, and later owned by renowned oncologist Dr. Steven Bernstein and wife Lianne," Gonzalez says. "The Hayes-Bernstein residence offers a unique blend of historical significance and modern luxury that awakens and inspires the respect and admiration of MCM devotees everywhere.”

    Though the home has been featured in design magazines like the American Institute of Architects Guide to Dallas Architecture and Town & Country, only the most dedicated design devotee will pick up on Prinz's distinct style, which smoothly blends architecture with nature.

    "[Prinz's] use of clean lines, expansive glass windows, and natural materials created a living space that was both functional and breathtaking," the release says. "The home’s unique design includes cantilevered balconies that offer gorgeous views over a private, spring-fed lake and the surrounding hillside."

    The primary suite balcony overlooks the back of the property.

    The next owners can take advantage of the property's ample space for hosting family or friends with the 665-square-foot attached guest quarters, a 572-square-foot "storage area" that can be turned into a detached guest house, a three-car carport, three-car garage, and a front motor court driveway with a turn-around.

    The property truly has it all: Other features of the listing include a large swimming pool, a wine cellar, and three walk-in basements that provide 1,252 square feet of additional storage space, extensive exterior lighting throughout the property, and a lake-fed sprinkler system with a dedicated pump room.

    718 Kessler Lake Drive will hit the market for $4 million on Wednesday, August 14. For more information about the listing, or to schedule a private viewing, listing agent Eugene Gonzalez can be reached at 214-586-0250 or eugene@dpmre.com.

    Mixed Use News

    Mixed-use East Dock will revive 1915 building in Dallas' Oak Cliff

    A century-old property in Oak Cliff Dallas is getting a makeover: Called East Dock, it's a former industrial site located at 900 E. Clarendon Dr. that is being restored into a retail and studio space.

    The project is being led by Proxy Properties, an Oak Cliff real estate group famous for breathing new life into vacant and often historical buildings. The project is supported by the City of Dallas through their Tax Increment Financing program (TIF), which reinvests property tax revenues on under-performing real estate.

    Proxy Properties' prior 50 projects in Oak Cliff include the Zion Hill Missionary Baptist Church, rebranded as Oak Cliff Assembly, an arts and theatre space with offices and co-work studios; and the Madison Hotel, a building from the 1920s which was restored and opened in 2024.

    "For us, it is important to buy buildings that have been vacant for a long time, ignored, or forgotten about," says Proxy founder AJ Ramler. "East Dock fit in that box. It was not contributing to the neighborhood."

    East Dock is intriguing both for its history and its location. Built in 1915, it has served over the decades as an ice factory, book manufacturing site, and producer of airplane parts, but has been vacant for more than seven years.

    The 62,000-square-foot-retail and studio space is fortuitously located in an area currently under heavy development: near the future Southern Gateway Park and Tenth Street Historical District, and a 7-minute walk from the DART Zoo Station.

    Ramler envisions the space as "an 18-hour campus," with coffee and athletic businesses open in the morning, followed by daytime operators such as offices, studios, and restaurants, then bars and entertainment in the evening.

    There's room for at least 15 businesses, with a few already secured including Barro, a Latin-American restaurant and market from Robert Ramirez, part-owner at Nova restaurant in Oak Cliff, who is partnering with chef Eric Spigner to bring Barro to life.

    “Our vision is to create a rustic, family-style restaurant with a rotating menu every three months, featuring cuisines from different countries in Latin America," Ramirez says.

    In addition to the restaurant, Barro will include a market with fruits & vegetables, imported ceramics, bakeware, and blankets.

    Other tenants
    Local artisans who've already signed include Brazilian-American artist Daniela Flint, who will open a studio there. "I want to surround myself with my community and can see myself bringing in clients to Barro and other places in East Dock," she says.

    Evan L. Court Woodwork, an artisan furniture maker, will take a 3,000-square-foot space and transform it into his personal studio where he’ll be creating custom handcrafted furniture and fine woodworking pieces. The space will have room for multiple projects, as well as an apprenticeship program to train new woodworkers.

    And Carlos Araujo Neto is relocating his Jiujitsu studio from nearby Beatrice Street to East Dock. "I liked the idea of having multiple businesses that everyone can have access to and hang out," he says.

    There'll be parking for 140 cars. The project will be finished in phases, with the first openings in early fall. They're sharing updates on their construction progress on Instagram.

    Rather than work with a broker, Proxy Properties is doing community outreach to find tenants, all from the southern sector: in Oak Cliff, the Cedars, or West Dallas. Soliciting input from the locals is part of their DNA.

    “We want the property to serve the community and also represent the community," Ramler says.
