A Rare Cape Dutch-Inspired New Build Lands Near Lakewood
Share News:
Cape Dutch Contemporary is not a term we throw around loosely or use often. Probably because we really haven’t had the opportunity. This new East Dallas home borrows some of the style’s most recognizable exterior elements while using a thoroughly contemporary floor plan inside.
This four-bedroom, four-bathroom, 3,374-square-foot standout near Lakewood marries a traditional exterior with an understated contemporary experience.
Cape Dutch architecture is best known for whitewashed walls and elaborate gables, a style that developed around the Cape of Good Hope during Dutch colonial settlement. The Cape Town iteration emerged in the 17th century when the Cape of Good Hope was colonized by the Dutch East India Company. Over the years, builders in Western Australia’s wine country have also drawn inspiration from this style.
This modern version at 419 Cameron nods to the past with curved parapet gables, warm organic accents, and a light monochromatic wash.
Then, the interior marries elegant details with an attractive modern ethos. Soft finishes, warm hardwoods, and curved throughways with an open layout create an environment that is both elevated and inviting.
At the heart of this home, a gourmet-grade kitchen features stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, double ovens, and a walk-through butler’s pantry. While this kitchen certainly accommodates the serious chef, it’s also a testament to the home’s traditional style.
A large primary suite presents a peaceful private escape. The ensuite bathroom features an elegant soaking tub, large seamless shower, and dual vanities, so everything is in place for a premium routine.
In all, this home is incredibly accommodating. Three bedrooms and three full baths complete the upstairs, as well as a large game room with built-ins.
Traditionally, Cape Dutch designs feature an H formation with two hallways flanking each end. However, this home takes a more modern approach, allowing main gathering spaces to connect seamlessly with outdoor living. Sliding glass doors open the main gathering spaces to a sizable backyard with room for a future pool or other outdoor additions.
