STATELY SWISS AVENUE BEAUTY WITH GRACEFUL AIR, LUXE KITCHEN

Open house: Sunday, Jan. 24, 1-3 p.m.

An address on Swiss Avenue has a certain cachet in Dallas, particularly if that address is located in the Swiss Avenue Historic District. The 1940 traditional at 5728 Swiss Ave. has a stately air, set back from the street with lots of green grass, mature trees, and landscaping. This two-story property is located near La Vista Drive and Abrams Road, with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a powder room, and 2,914 square feet, along with 650 additional square feet in the back above the two-car garage.

The interior is graceful and comfortable, with two living areas and an updated, high-end kitchen with light-colored granite countertops and white cabinets, a large island with tons of storage, and Wolf and Sub-Zero stainless steel appliances, including a gas stove, commercial-sized refrigerator, two dishwashers, and a wine refrigerator. This home was listed Jan. 4 by Anne Lasko with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s for $917,500.

The kitchen opens to spacious living area, and there are patios outside the front and back doors. Both bathrooms are sleek, and the entire community has been updated for a modern look.

The downstairs master has access to a covered patio, with a professionally landscaped and fenced yard.
