LENNOX LANE LOCATION: DALLAS, TX

YEAR BUILT: 2019

This residence is a contemporary take on Mediterranean architecture, blending classic elements like white stucco walls and terracotta roof tiles with clean modern lines and expansive black-framed windows. The design centers around a landscaped interior courtyard, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Warm lighting, open sightlines, and refined materials throughout the home promote a sense of calm and luxury. The balanced, symmetrical façade enhance both privacy and curb appeal.
