1960’s Contemporary in Janmar Estates

Boasting sleek design features and smart-home technology, this midcentury modern home sets the new standard in tech-savvy living. The 4,519-square-foot residence — sited on a 0.4-acre lot in North Dallas’ scenic Janmar Estates— comprises five bedrooms, four full baths and two half baths.

Built in 1960, this contemporary gem has been thoughtfully renovated and reimagined, incorporating the best in modern-day technology and design. Clean lines and neutral hues inform the home’s exterior, which is defined by a dark metal standing-seam roof set against a white brick-and-stone facade. Adding even more curb appeal to the home’s front exterior, a circular drive is accented with verdant landscaping.

Upon entry, red oak hardwood floors provide a chic setting for the formal living and dining spaces. The family room boasts a floor-to-ceiling marble fireplace accented with an airy ambiance from the surrounding wall of windows and skylight. The adjacent eat-in kitchen features Carrara Italian countertops, a Wolf gas cooktop and two convection ovens, Kohler sink features, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Zephyr wine cooler.

The first-floor primary suite includes a cast stone fireplace, two walk-in closets and an en suite bath with an air jetted tub and thermostatic shower— all opening out onto the stunning backyard and pool area. Ideal for outdoor entertaining, the shady veranda is outfitted with an outdoor kitchen, fireplace and outdoor heaters. Two additional bedrooms with en suite baths, along with a half bath, a utility room and an attached two-car garage, round out the home’s first floor. Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms adjoined by a true Jack and Jill bathroom as well as a spacious game room and a powder bath.

Thanks to major upgrades made in 2022, this home is equipped with top-of-the-line automated systems. Many of these systems are easily controlled via an app, including Ring security cameras, Weathermatic automated irrigation, landscape lighting, Trane Thermostats and the Chamberlain garage door. Other notable upgrades include LED sealed can ceiling lights, Grade 1 A red oak hardwood floors and a Blaze outdoor gas grill and refrigerator.
