commanding long views across the historic golf club of dallas, where the byron nelson
classic was once played, this exceptional texas modernist home was designed in 1969
by architect robert davies as his personal residence. thoughtfully composed around
natural light, gracious entertaining, and seamless flow between indoor and outdoor
spaces, the home reflects davies′ authentic expression of mid-century modern design,
carefully preserved through decades of thoughtful stewardship.
the home′s defining space is its sweeping great room, where soaring ceilings, a wood
burning fireplace, expansive walls of glass, and panoramic golf course views create a
seamless connection between interior and exterior spaces. original brick floors provide
warmth and texture, while a discreetly integrated wet bar and built-in serving buffet
reflect the home′s original emphasis on gracious entertaining.
privately located within its own wing, the expansive primary suite enjoys uninterrupted
golf course views and is complemented by an exceptional home office and library
overlooking the fairways. throughout the home, remarkable storage has been
thoughtfully integrated to enhance the architecture.
alice davies, an accomplished horticulturist, founder of the butterfly garden at the
riverside nature center in kerrville, former president of the oak cliff women’s club,
and state fair of texas garden club woman of the year, found inspiration in the home’s
original attached greenhouse, complete with its distinctive louvered glass, where orchids
and other prized specimens flourished.
six skylights illuminate the interior from morning to evening, while multiple decks,
pergolas, terraces, and carefully positioned walls of glass extend the living spaces to the
lawn, graced with mature oaks and flowering crepe myrtles, plus a dedicated dog run.
club members can enjoy the uncommon convenience of food and beverage service
delivered directly to the backyard, and the nearby ymca is within easy walking
distance.
discerning recent investments include a tpo roof, hvac systems, water heater, oak
hardwoods, and natural slate flooring, reflecting the exceptional care this home has
received while providing the comfort and confidence of true move-in condition.
