It’s not every day that we come across a home that holds a piece of Dallas history. In the Lakewood neighborhood, there are many architectural marvels and incredible estates, but 2309 Auburn Avenue stands out with significance.
This Heritage Auctions listing features a historic colonnade from Southern Methodist University’s Administration Building. The building was demolished in the mid-1990s and the owners of the Auburn Avenue estate won the columns in a surplus auction.
Nearly 30 years later, these columns serve to remind the Lakewood neighborhood of Dallas’s historic roots.
On Tuesday, Nov. 1, Heritage will auction the property without a reserve, meaning the 4,577-square-foot home will be sold regardless of price!
Nestled in one of Dallas’s most iconic neighborhoods, this home features an incredibly walkable location with proximity to shopping, dining, and downtown.
Elegant And Historic Lakewood Home
Upon entering this enormous five-bedroom, six-bathroom home, vast ceilings and gleaming hardwoods give one the impression of true grandeur.
It’s worth noting that the columns aren’t the only historic fixtures in 2309 Auburn Ave. The seller of this incredible Lakewood luxury estate is an art restorer, so many of the fixtures are believed to be Gilded Age antiques. Examples of gorgeous and historic touches include the marble fireplace surround in the formal living room, the dramatic chandelier in the foyer, and a restored fixture from a Swiss Avenue home that now resides in the secondary bedroom downstairs.
The first floor features an elegant sitting room and a beautiful formal dining room. Both spaces sport French doors that show off incredible poolside views. An ample amount of open space perfectly complements elegant chandeliers for a breathtaking balance of light.
The kitchen is perfect for entertaining. With stainless steel appliances, a four-burner gas range, and tons of granite counter space, any chef will feel at home.
Gorgeous Bedrooms
The bedrooms in this home are all spacious and inviting. Also, each one is unique in its décor and distinct in its style. Both growing families and guests will have plenty of room to stretch out and relax.
Flex Space
This home features two incredible flex spaces upstairs. Whether using them for office space or entertainment areas, they are ready-made retreats with tons of natural light.
A separate guest studio apartment with a full kitchen and bath adds an extra wow factor to this home. This is the perfect place for long-term guests or an extra element of privacy.
Beautiful Backyard
The traditional detailing and thoughtful landscape make the exterior of this home truly stunning. With a beautiful in-ground pool and veranda that runs the length of the main house, entertaining is as easy as opening those aforementioned French doors. Just imagine the memories you’ll make in this incredible home.
