A Forest Hills treasure, originally designed by esteemed Dallas architect Clarence C. Bulger for Dr. Robert Karper, this rare residence seamlessly blends preserved historic charm with the luxury and efficiency of all-new construction. Thoughtfully restored and completely rebuilt between 2024–2025, the home honors its 1940s character while integrating every modern comfort. Upon arrival, a sweeping front lawn framed by mature trees welcomes you to a storybook façade with restored steel windows and a newly engineered tile roof. Inside, sunlight fills open, refined living spaces designed for both elegance and everyday ease. The reimagined layout offers multiple living areas—including a versatile lower-level suite perfect for a media room, home office, or guest retreat. The kitchen, anchored by a large island and breakfast bar, features custom Amcraft cabinetry, undercounter wine fridges, a hidden pantry with built-in refrigerator drawers, and premium appliances ideal for gourmet entertaining. Three ensuite bedrooms and an additional half bath offer privacy and sophistication, complemented by curated finishes from Pierce Hardware. Every major system—plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and structural—has been newly installed with uncompromising quality. Concrete driveways and walkways, reinforced roof framing, and superior foam insulation ensure comfort, efficiency, and long-term durability. The property includes a detached three-car garage, automatic gated entry, and lush, thoughtfully landscaped grounds. Perfectly positioned near White Rock Lake, the Arboretum, and scenic biking trails, this home embodies the rare harmony of architectural heritage and modern luxury. A truly move-in ready masterpiece—offered furnished if desired.

A modern Parisian statement — refined, romantic, and quietly seductive. Crafted by Alexander Hunt Distinct Homes, with architecture by John Lively & Associates and interiors by Savvy House — this residence blends timeless European influence with sharp, contemporary execution. A limestone-framed entry and bespoke glass façade set the tone, giving way to interiors bathed in natural light. Walls of glass and floor-to-ceiling windows dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, creating an atmosphere that feels both open and intimate. The kitchen is sculptural in form and function — anchored by an oversized quartz island and appointed with Thermador appliances, a concealed walk-in appliance pantry, and a striking glass wine display designed as much for conversation as it is for collection. Privately positioned, the primary suite is a retreat of quiet indulgence — vaulted beams, a generous sitting area, and a spa bath that feels pulled from a boutique hotel. A freestanding tub, curb-less shower, and garden views create a sense of calm, while the three-tiered custom closet with center island connects seamlessly to the laundry for effortless living. Upstairs, a full-width game room and wet bar offer a more playful energy — ideal for entertaining — alongside three ensuite bedrooms, each with walk-in closets. Throughout the home, Level 4 smooth-finish walls, 11-foot ceilings, and precise architectural detailing create a backdrop of understated luxury. Integrated smart-home technology and whole-home connectivity ensure the experience is as intelligent as it is beautiful. Concrete flat tile roof and paver driveway exude sophistication and luxury designs. The result is a home that feels curated, composed, and undeniably alluring — where every line, material, and moment has been considered.
