Rare 1960s Mid-Century Modern Residence located off Katy Trail in Gated Christopher Place Lists for $1.55 Million

Named 1 of 4 “Coolest Homes on the Market Under 2M” by PaperCity, this MCM sits one block from the Katy Trail in Dallas’ Turtle Creek/Uptown Corridor.

DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, October 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Chic 1960s mid-century modern home––one of only a few remaining in Dallas––has become available for the first time in over two decades, off Katy Trail within Knox Street/West Village district in gated Christopher Place on Turtle Creek.

On the market for $1,550,000, the distinctive urban retreat with private waterfront park, underwent a lengthy four-year restoration, returning the home to its original architectural gravitas with sleek art-focused minimalist interiors, organic materials, multiple skylights, and large open spaces that bring light and nature into interior areas. The layout follows custom mid-century design: Expansive living areas over room count––a luxury in today’s market. Offering all the groovy details one would expect from an original MCM, the primary level boasts terrazzo floors throughout its double living rooms including a sunken lounge complete with original 17ft. height solid brick fireplace, a 21′ skylight atrium, which crowns the central heart of the home, now a conservatory for dining under midnight skies, and a stunning all-white spacious stone kitchen and bar. Every communal room enjoys views from monumental walls of glass overlooking the home’s large private garden.

Designed by beloved arborist Mac McCoy, who’s legacy as an advocate for integrating native plants in support of local ecosystems is present in this lighted outdoor space, lovingly designed to save the property’s original oak and crape myrtle trees, and landscaped for beautiful all-season views, honoring its original outdoor/indoor design.

Meticulously detailed, the project commissioned bespoke fixtures like matching collections of sconces and zinc air returns to restore the home’s original visual style, and Dallas’ Andreola brothers hand poured the home’s white marble chip terrazzo flooring, including its floating stairs, upstairs landing, and interior balcony.

The upper floors’ two large primary suites, with ensuite baths, dressing areas, French Brown teak floors, and large closets add to the lux space aesthetic. The main primary suite includes four large custom closets and a sanctuary marble bath with double skylights, a large cast-iron garden tub, and separate glass shower, merging garden views with natural light. A study in continuation–bringing outside green spaces into interior rooms––creates a sense of constant connectedness with nature. Still intact and meticulously preserved is the primary bath’s original cedar walk-in hot-rock sauna, whose aromatic woodsy oils create the ultimate steamy therapeutic experience beneath moonlit skylights.

Quintessentially Mid-Century Modern- “The relationship between indoors and outdoors is the home’s defining feature..its expansive windows look onto a private garden patio while 17-foot ceilings give the main living spaces a sense of openness..” CandysDirt.Com.

“Truly great architecture is extremely rare––and when you experience it, it’s incredibly uplifting and nourishes the soul.” Scott Fellows, Iconic Houses.

Within an iconic gated community on Turtle Creek, this property enjoys high security and a private waterfront park with walking trails–in the heart of Dallas!
Christopher Place took shape in the 1960s, when developers Manning Grinnan and Frederick Smith planned 25 townhomes, individually designed, along a tree-shaded private drive running down to Turtle Creek. This bold example of mid-century modern’s luxurious spatial design offers a rare opportunity to reside in Uptown Dallas’ oldest and most private enclave.
