This Swiss Avenue home, takin down to the studs and completely restored in 2008, represents a blend of historic preservation and modern living. It became Dallas' first historic district in 1973 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The current owners, a husband-and-wife architect duo preserved the front exterior while adding modern updates to the rear, including a back patio, pool-hot tub, guest quarters, and a four-car garage. The English garden, featuring a sculpture from the Sanger-Harris store, remains intact. Inside, the front rooms are preserved, while the den, originally a porch, was enclosed in 1929. The kitchen was fully redesigned, and the basement, once a coal-burning boiler room, was converted into a wine cellar. Upstairs, the bathrooms were modernized, and the layout was improved for better functionality. Though protected as a historic landmark, the home is designed to be lived in and enjoyed, combining historical charm with modern conveniences.
