We feel relaxed simply gazing at photos of this impressive property designed by the late Harwood K. Smith. And how do we know that this was one of his most prized productions? Because he chose it as his personal residence, of course. This home at 5858 Farquhar Lane has three bedrooms, three baths, and 3,445 square feet of living space that is awaiting its next creative mind to move in. Because, let’s be honest, this home was not built for the boring.
This property oozes confidence and charisma from the time you approach the striking front door to the moment you walk out the back. The natural light illuminates every inch of the space in a way that people need to experience in person to truly note the benefit, and the vaulted ceilings only amplify said light.
One great space is the property’s kitchen that has new appliances such as a Bertazzoni gas cooktop, double ovens, and a dishwasher, in addition to stainless steel counters and one-of-a-kind art deco cabinetry. There is also a walk-in pantry for storing all your stuff that doesn’t deserve a spot-on display. Perhaps our favorite area of the home is the flex space that is accessed via a circular staircase. There are infinite ways to utilize this space, however, we can’t help but imagine an uber-cool painting studio or something equally as artsy.
A quality refresh took place in 2020 that breathed fresh air into an already fabulous space. For starters, the entire interior was painted, and hardwoods were added to the bedrooms, library, and loft space. The baths were also all renovated, with a second closet and storage addition in the primary bath. Less traditional, but equally exciting, updates include a west garden re-work that created a private sitting area and a rooftop AC unit. Are we excited yet? These items checked off your list will save tens of thousands of dollars.
And last, but certainly not least, we must have a chat about the location. This property is ideally located close to both the Dallas North Tollway and Northwest Highway. This makes most places in Dallas just a short drive down the road. The bonus points for this home are starting to seriously stack up.

It’s difficult to be an expert on everything, so I work a handful of sub-markets and know these areas as well or better than anyone else, touring listings and watching market trends affecting my clients,” Stephen says. “Listening to my customers helps me zero in on wants and needs that can change as a search or listing progresses, so it’s vital to stay focused on what the customer is saying and feeling.
