Who lives here: Chuck and Diane Cheatham and their Chinese Crested dogs, Wizard and Ruby. They raise chickens and have a koi pond too.
Location: Lake Highlands neighborhood of Dallas
Size: 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms
“When I started Urban Reserve, I set aside the first lot for what Chuck and I referred to as The House, which we imagined as a modern architectural statement at the entrance to the neighborhood,” says Diane. “We wanted to take full advantage of the site, bounded on one side by the street and one of our retaining ponds and on the other by the creek.”
The house is organized vertically, with the main living space on the top floor. The first floor includes a self-contained apartment with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a living room as well as a garage, art storage and a wine cellar. The second level provides outdoor living space, which includes an outdoor kitchen, terrace and pool. This second floor connects the first and third floors as communal areas for socializing, rest and relaxation.
The third floor is the couple’s main living space, wrapped on two sides by a raw steel screen that provides shade from the Texas sun and privacy from the street. This floor includes one bedroom with an en suite and a walk-in closet, powder room, laundry, den, kitchen, dining room, gallery and living room.
