This is it: your chance to own a little piece of Dallas history. We’re talking about a (not so) little home in Lakewood that was once dubbed Bossom Manor. Built in the 1920s by renowned English architect Sir Alfred Bossom (a gent that also worked on the Adolphus and Magnolia Hotels in Downtown Dallas and once collaborated with Frank Lloyd Wright), the 3-story Elizabethan Manor features half-timbered construction, a slate roof, high beamed ceilings, copper gutters and some seriously formal gardens. How formal you might ask? The setting of the first performance of the Dallas Ballet kind of formal.
Listen, if you’re looking to make the move to the bustling East Dallas area (where practically every pocket neighborhood is on the rise), you could do a lot worse than 6835 Westlake Avenue with its eight fireplaces and 35 closets. Heck, you could do a lot worse than the property’s two-bedroom guesthouse that features a full kitchen.
By the numbers:
- 6835 Westlake Avenue
- $3,995,000
- Year Built: 1926
- 9,221 Square Feet
- 8 Bedrooms
- 8.2 Bathrooms
- 1 Pool (of course)
- 8 Fireplaces
