STATELY SWISS AVENUE BEAUTY WITH GRACEFUL AIR, LUXE KITCHEN
Open house: Sunday, Jan. 24, 1-3 p.m.
An address on Swiss Avenue has a certain cachet in Dallas, particularly if that address is located in the Swiss Avenue Historic District. The 1940 traditional at 5728 Swiss Ave. has a stately air, set back from the street with lots of green grass, mature trees, and landscaping. This two-story property is located near La Vista Drive and Abrams Road, with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a powder room, and 2,914 square feet, along with 650 additional square feet in the back above the two-car garage.
The interior is graceful and comfortable, with two living areas and an updated, high-end kitchen with light-colored granite countertops and white cabinets, a large island with tons of storage, and Wolf and Sub-Zero stainless steel appliances, including a gas stove, commercial-sized refrigerator, two dishwashers, and a wine refrigerator.

The kitchen, in particular, is awesome, with a sleek look: you’ll find white cabinets, light-colored granite countertops, a modern glass backsplash, funky light pendants, and stainless steel appliances, including a wine refrigerator. The kitchen opens to spacious living area, and there are patios outside the front and back doors. Both bathrooms are sleek, and the entire community has been updated for a modern look.

The downstairs master has access to a covered patio, with a professionally landscaped and fenced yard.
