Property Description

Clifford D. Hutsell designed & built 50 houses in Lakewood between 1926 to 1941, an era for Dallas of prolific growth. As a builder & architect, he designed fanciful & eclectic residences most of them in a highly personalized Spanish Eclectic style which, over time, would come to establish the picturesque image of both the street & surrounding neighborhood. 7026 Lakewood represents some of Hutsell's best work & combined with the current owners' seamless upgrades & design enhancements, this home combines the best of both worlds. The stunning architectural drive-up features professional landscaping, circular driveway & courtyard which flows to the main entry, the family room & a whimsical exterior staircase to the second floor. As you enter this jewel box you are welcomed by the unique Potter Art Metal Studios ironwork staircase as well as the great room with barrel vaulted ceiling, faux stone finishes, Batchelder tile fireplace with unique Mayan design, & one of the most magnificent leaded stained-glass windows in all of Lakewood. The living room flows to the formal dining room via a step up through the barley twisted columns. The beautifully updated chef's kitchen has an oversized island workspace with abundant & well laid out cabinetry, Sub-Zero refrigerator and Wolf six-burner cooktop, warming drawer and double oven and overlooks the backyard oasis. The 2nd living area off the kitchen boasts built-in bookshelves, beamed ceiling & French doors that open to both the front courtyard & back screened porch. The large outdoor screened porch with sitting area & outdoor grilling station overlooks the Koi pond and amazing grounds. Additional amenities include vintage tile baths, interior & exterior balconies, & oversized two car garage with alley access & extra parking area. Ideally located just minutes from downtown Dallas, within walking distance of White Rock Lake & Park, & in highly sought-after Lakewood Elementary, this one-of-a-kind home is a rare find!
