{Neighborhood: Old East Dallas}

You know a house is truly special when there’s a mini replica of it on display inside. Such is the case with 6243 La Vista Drive. The Old East Dallas gem, built by modern pavement pioneer Robert Stubbs and his wife Marie, has seen its share of attention since its completion in 1926. The Swiss chalet-style two-story, located on a prominent corner at the head of Swiss Avenue, was tagged a Texas Historic Landmark in 2001 and named one of D Home’s 10 Most Beautiful Homes in 2009.

While the grandness of the historic exterior could make a newly built McMansion tremble in its foundation, the interior is as warm and welcoming as they come. From the gorgeous oak floors and etched glass windows to the well-appointed sitting rooms and sleek (but charming!) kitchen, the cozy feel ultimately trumps any chilly false pretenses.
