Gawking Is Technically Rude. But So Is Not Gawking at This MCM in the OC

Take a stroll through Oak Cliff’s Ravinia Heights and you’re bound to stop and stare – gawk, even – at the gated Midcentury Modern masterpiece that is 406 S. Ravinia Drive. This meticulously maintained 1951 residence, perched on a 0.376-acre creek lot, is not just a house; it’s an invitation to embrace a life less ordinary. And because it is for sale, feel free(ish) to act on that invitation (within reason, of course). 

An expertly executed 2020 renovation transformed this 1,829-square-foot, three-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence into a lively symphony of design. 

Listing agent Michael Mahon is smitten with the property. “It completely transcends the ordinary,” he says. “It’s a place where mid-century charm meets contemporary living, and it’s been executed in such a way that makes it very special. I’m truly thrilled – and a little jealous – for whoever ends up here!”

As you step through the front door, the vibrant energy of the two-story living space envelops you. The smooth-finish walls provide a canvas for your imagination, ready to be filled with creative and vibrant expressions of your personality. The wood-burning fireplace beckons, promising cozy evenings where stories unfold, and the hardwood floors hold untold memories you’ll be adding to on the daily.

The all-white kitchen is tailor-made for exploring the art of gastronomy, with its honed marble counters and lineup of well-appointed appliances, including a 36-inch gas range and a whisper-quiet Bosch dishwasher. It’s here that creativity meets practicality and sentimentality in the heart of your home.

Three bedrooms, each a sanctuary of comfort, offer respite from the world outside. Impeccably appointed bathrooms showcase a commitment to luxury, with finishes that elevate your daily rituals into indulgent experiences. 

“Efficiency is woven into the very fabric of this home,” says Mahon. “Updated mechanics ensure a smooth, worry-free living experience.”

Think spray foam insulation cocooning the exterior walls, updated plumbing lines orchestrating a seamless flow, and updated electrical systems channeling your energy into synergy. The recently replaced roof, doors, windows, water heater, and HVAC system are also a testament to a home that has stood and will stand the test of time.

As you explore the outdoors, you’ll find a welcoming front porch that offers a front-row seat to the beauty of Ravinia Drive. And ample space for entertaining can be found on the paved rear and side patios, perfect for al fresco dinners under the stars. The real showstopper? The expansive yard and creek views blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living. 

The two-car steel-constructed carport with a storage room (which might someday save the day when you’re planning an outdoor party) is not just a practical addition but a testament to the thoughtful design that defines every inch of this property. 

The home at 406 S. Ravinia, priced at $799,000 is the embodiment of an adventure waiting to be lived. Reach out to Michael at 214.912.5410 or [email protected] to schedule a showing and begin that adventure!
