About This Home

Poised within an architecturally significant Bud Oglesby development in University Park—just across from SMU—this corner residence offers refined modernism shaped by impeccable design pedigree. A foundational transformation by Bodron + Fruit established the home’s quiet yet expressive character, continually elevated through thoughtful cosmetic refinements and mechanical upgrades. Inside, bespoke craftsmanship defines the interiors: rift-cut white oak and maple cabinetry, honed Blue Mist limestone floors, and floor-to-ceiling built-ins that distill essential function into minimalist form. A sculptural SieMatic kitchen—stained white oak, stainless steel, and honed Basaltina stone—anchors the main level and opens to the dining and living areas, where dramatic Arcadia sliders reveal a private courtyard. Outdoors, smooth Lueders limestone and a curated softscape—originally designed by Boyd Heiderich Bargas and recently refreshed by MESA—introduce warmth with Japanese maples, fig ivy, and Mondo grass. A custom Lutron Graphic Eye system by 2C Lighting pairs with precision Edison Price fixtures to illuminate gallery-ready walls. In the primary suite, a two-person steam shower clad in Bisazza Ghiaccio mosaic and Thassos marble creates a spa-like retreat, while the walk-in closet features the Vitsoe 606 Universal Shelving System. Beyond the interiors, a recent $1.3M community investment added new Accoya wood louvers, replaced every solarium and window, and upgraded the brick perimeter walls. Owner improvements in 2025 include new HVAC equipment, water heaters, and a subtle refresh of finishes. Completing the home are three parking spaces—including the building’s only two private garages—and full smart-home integration with Honeywell thermostats, Cat 6 ethernet, and whole-home AV. A reimagined architectural legacy, it offers an invitation to enduring, design-driven living.
