About This Property

Poised on Lakeside Drive overlooking Turtle Creek, this urban sanctuary is zoned to the coveted Highland Park Independent School District. This distinguished residence stands as one of the neighborhood's most enduring architectural treasures - a century-old estate masterfully reimagined for contemporary life. An exhaustive restoration, completed from 2020–2022, preserved the home's storied character while infusing every inch of the property for today’s modern lifestyle. A gracious entrance foyer sets an immediate tone of elegance, flowing effortlessly into formal living and dining rooms appointed with wide-plank white oak floors and exquisite plaster millwork. A handsome private study overlooks the lush, private backyard. Five generously proportioned en suite bedrooms offer serene retreats for family and guests, while a versatile third-floor flex room provides space for a studio, media room, or additional lounge. A beautifully appointed guest suite with full bath above the three-car garage offers privacy for guests or an additional living space. The enchanting grounds include a side courtyard centered on a classic fountain, while the secluded rear grounds reveal a koi pond, mature landscaping, and a dedicated greenhouse. All three floors of the home are accessible by elevator. 4211 Lakeside was originally designed by renowned French architect Harre M. Bernet and built by S.J. Churchill in 1922. The renovation included new electrical, plumbing, roof, HVAC, doors, and windows.
