Hot Property: John Astin Perkins-Designed Home in Highland Park

When we deem a property “hot,” we do generally try to choose from newer Dallas listings. But sometimes, a glorious home slips through the “Just Listed” cracks. An impeccable French-inspired estate that has stood tall on one of Highland Park’s most scenic streets for nearly a century thanks to a classic design by Anton Korn. That kind of home.

Though the architecture is significant, it was the timeless, elegant wallpaper and striking jewel tones fearlessly splashed about by notable Dallas designer John Astin Perkins that forced us to feature 4248 Armstrong Parkway today. Once dubbed “Mr. Dallas”, Perkins’ work in the ’60s and ’70s set the standard for what many people imagine when they think of our city. So though the many rooms of the nearly $8 million home elicit nostalgia, they still feel fresh.

Of course, the lavish landscaping and the chandelier-filled guesthouse aren’t wallflowers either. Head to our slideshow to witness the classic beauty for yourself.
