6216 Town Hill Lane is a mid-century home, and the exact definition of cool in Northeast Dallas.

Originally designed in the 1950s by architect Arch Swank, this house was reimagined by Chad Dorsey & More Design + Build in 2011.

6216 Town Hill Lane boasts an open-concept design in the living and kitchen areas, which flows out to the pool.

The 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home at 6216 Town Hill Lane is a must-see.

Most of the interior design is neutral hues: black, white, and light wood, but there are random pops of bright red and yellow as well.

More perks include expansive windows, an oversized covered deck, vaulted ceilings, and a mosquito-misting system (a must-have during Texas summers).

2865 Alden Avenue, an Oak Cliff cottage-style gem, is absolutely enchanting, and we can’t imagine it staying on the market long for less than $1 million.

Situated at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, 2865 Alden Avenue looks as if it should be in a fairy tale.

The home features preserved original details, millwork, Charles Dilbeck-inspired design elements, original steel casement windows, exposed beams, and European influence.

Decorative geometric wood trim and scalloped built-ins are something you don’t see every day, but are found inside 2865 Alden Avenue.

2865 Alden Avenue is simple but filled with character and will allow any homebuyer to make it their own.

6861 E Mockingbird Lane is a charming Lakewood home that just hit the market for $1,350,000.

6861 E Mockingbird Lane was reimagined by Dallas-Fort Worth’s Ruoti Design with a goal of pairing an old-world feel with pieces collected from around the world.

In 6861 E Mockingbird Lane's primary bath, a freestanding soaking tub captures the attention.

The kitchen features an oversized island with custom cabinetry and all the bells and whistles of appliances, but it’s the tongue-and-groove ceiling that really stands out.

In the dining room, which includes an open concept with the living room and kitchen, buyers can’t help but notice the showstopping limestone fireplace.

Outside, there’s a pool tucked inside a garden filled with a custom louvered pergola, a full outdoor kitchen, and a detached garden house.

A 1960s townhome in Turtle Creek’s gated Christopher Place underwent a four-year restoration and has hit the market for under $2 million.

The mid-century modern home at 4650 Christopher Place is a rare find with its private patio garden and creekside park.

4650 Christopher Place hits the Dallas market for $1,550,000.

Highlights include a 21-foot skylight above the dining room.

At 4650 Christopher Place, the primary suite bath also features a cedar-paneled hot rock sauna room, cast-iron garden tub that overlooks the garden, separate enclosed shower, and 90-inch floating double vanity.

It is rare thing in Dallas when a truly must-see house hits the market for under $2 million. But this month, we’ve seen a few incredibly cool, charming, and utterly unique homes go on sale in the city’s most coveted neighborhoods. From a storybook-inspired Oak Cliff cottage to a meticulously restored mid-century modern townhome and a Lakewood retreat with a pool and garden house, these houses prove that character and standout design details can be found at any price point.

These are the coolest Dallas homes currently on the market — all priced under $2 million.
