One of the most renown architectural firms in Dallas during the last half of the 20th century was The Oglesby Group. 4123 Douglas is one of five distinctive townhomes designed by the firm in the 1980’s. Located in Oak Lawn, a few blocks from Highland Park, this outstanding property is the perfect opportunity for the buyer who appreciates exemplary modern design and wants to put their own stamp on an architect designed home. A 2 bed, 2.5 bath plan on 2 floors, the townhome was built with first class materials, as one would suspect, such as hand fired, St Joe brick and a standing seam metal roof. The original roof was replaced in 2024. 4123 Douglas is a true townhome meaning you own both the home and the land and there are no HOA dues. Each of the five homeowners maintains their home. Enter the property through a gated front courtyard. On the first level is a spacious living room with a 12-foot ceiling height, separated from the dining area by a sculptural open tread staircase. The galley style kitchen has been expanded to include an informal dining area that views the front courtyard. A large fenced courtyard runs along the rear of the lot and the living room opens out to it through floor to ceiling windows and a sliding glass door. The living room features a wood burning fireplace. On the second floor are two large bedrooms with vaulted ceilings. Both bedrooms have ensuite baths. The primary bath has been remodeled and is finished with stained oak cabinetry. There are two vanities, a separate tub and shower and a spacious walk-in closet. The utility room is on the second floor. The home has a two-car garage accessed from the gated front courtyard. If design and “good bones” are important as well as a walkable and sophisticated neighborhood, this lock and leave home is perfect for someone who doesn’t mind doing some updates. This smashing townhome should stack up at the top of any design aficionado’s list of available inventory!
