Vickery Place is the address people move to Dallas for and never leave. Historic, tree lined, and one of the most walkable neighborhoods in the city. Henderson Avenue is around the corner, and you walk it: Tei Tei, Old Monk, Charlotte Bistro, Prince Street Pizza, Pie Tap. Lower Greenville sits a few blocks the other direction. Downtown and Uptown, a short drive. A quiet residential street with the whole city at the end of it. Now the part that matters: the builder built this house for himself. Nothing was value engineered & nothing was skipped, and it shows in the places most builders cut. 3,814 square feet. Three bedrooms. Three full baths and a half. Primary down. The rest of the bedrooms take the second floor. Right of the entry, the office: wrapped in wood paneling with its own fireplace. Past it, the dining room finished in Venetian plaster. Then the room opens overhead. Vaulted wood with exposed beams overhead. A statement chandelier. A fireplace holding the center. French doors run the back wall and frame the pool and the covered pavilion beyond. Indoors and out become one space. The kitchen answers. A massive island with bar seating. A commercial gas range. A mudroom off the garage, where the day gets left. The primary suite takes the back of the house and opens straight to the pool. Dual sinks. A soaking tub. A separate walk in shower. A closet the size of a bedroom, and that is not a figure of speech. Up the stairs, the house spreads out for everyone else. A second living-game room space at the top of the stairs. Two guest bedrooms, two full baths. A media room, dark & dialed in, built for the game at full volume. Then the backyard, & the backyard is where this one lands. A pool that carries the summer. A cedar clad pavilion beside it, vaulted, with a fireplace that carries the rest of the year. The outdoor room every buyer asks for and almost nobody finds already built. 5243 Willis, A builder built it for himself. It's been cared for like it ever since.
