DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, October 23, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- A rare 1960s Mid-Century Modern Residence located off Katy Trail in Gated Christopher Place has hit the market for $1.55 million. This distinctive urban retreat, one of only a few remaining in Dallas, has been named one of four "Coolest Homes on the Market Under 2M" by PaperCity.
The residence, situated one block from the Katy Trail in Dallas' Turtle Creek/Uptown Corridor, was designed by beloved arborist Mac McCoy. McCoy's legacy as an advocate for integrating native plants in support of local ecosystems is evident in the lighted outdoor space, which lovingly preserves the property's original oak and crape myrtle trees. The garden is landscaped for beautiful all-season views, honoring the original outdoor/indoor design.
The home, which underwent a four-year restoration, has been meticulously returned to its original architectural gravitas. The interior features sleek art-focused minimalist design, with organic materials, multiple skylights, and large open spaces that bring light and nature into the interior areas. The layout follows custom mid-century design, offering expansive living areas over room count, a luxury in today's market.
On the main level, the home boasts terrazzo floors throughout its double living rooms, including a sunken lounge complete with the original 17-foot height solid brick fireplace. A 21-foot skylight atrium, which crowns the central heart of the home, now serves as a conservatory for dining under midnight skies. The all-white, spacious stone kitchen and bar are also highlights of the home.
Every communal room enjoys views from monumental walls of glass overlooking the home's large private garden. The upper floors feature two large primary suites, each with an ensuite bath, dressing areas, French Brown teak floors, and large closets. The main primary suite includes four large custom closets and a sanctuary marble bath with double skylights, a large cast-iron garden tub, and a separate glass shower, merging garden views with natural light.
The relationship between indoors and outdoors is the home’s defining feature, with expansive windows looking onto a private garden patio while 17-foot ceilings give the main living spaces a sense of openness. The home's private waterfront park with walking trails is located within the iconic gated community of Christopher Place, which took shape in the 1960s when developers Manning Grinnan and Frederick Smith planned 25 townhomes, individually designed, along a tree-shaded private drive running down to Turtle Creek.
The property is listed by Michael Wong and Lauren Kaye of Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty. An open house will be held on Sunday, October 25, from 1 to 3 p.m. at 4650 Christopher Place. High-resolution photography and a floor plan are available to media on request.
