3635 Beverly DriveHighland Park, TX 75205Price: $7,500,000

3635 Beverly Drive, one of the iconic Grandes Dames of Highland Park, was designed and built by famed architect Anton Korn as his personal home in 1925. The current family has owned the home since 1964 and has kept it as painstakingly close to its original design as possible. At the corner of Beverly and Drexel, and overlooking Hackberry Creek, this home is a commanding presence on its heavily treed lot. Updated in 1946, by Earl Hart Miller, the home has one of the most magnificent and memorable great rooms in DFW. The 2 story room has 20 foot stained glass windows at the east end, a cozy alcove with fireplace and a massive beamed ceiling with timbers from the Oriental Hotel in 1924 downtown Dallas. A 2nd floor landing overlooks the room with a view of the timbered ceiling. A large formal dining room, kitchen, breakfast room, den and enclosed patio complete the 1st level with a full and half bath. The 2nd level features 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths while the 3rd level has 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. The current owners added an elevator, front garage, breakfast room and enclosed sunroom, all in keeping with the original design. This home represents a rare opportunity to preserve a truly historic home in Highland Park.
