About 8243 San Cristobal Drive
Mid-Century Modern elegance in Forest Hills. This updated single-story estate on 0.3 acre lot, blends timeless 1960s architecture with period materials and modern sophistication. Behind a majestic iron gate, discover a unique front courtyard pool. Framed by mature trees on a 95ft wide lot on a quiet street the property also offers a detached rear studio—perfect for a guest house, gym, or creative workspace. Inside, classic terrazzo floors flow through open living spaces with raised ceilings, exposed wood beams, and a striking rock and stone wood-burning fireplace set against a wall of period elongated brick—a true centerpiece of Mid-Century design. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the living, dining, and family areas in natural light, creating seamless indoor-outdoor connections to the courtyard pool and backyard. The chef’s kitchen impresses with an 8-foot marble peninsula, stainless steel appliances and commercial-grade range and oven. The home offers 3 spacious bedrooms & 2.5 beautifully baths, plus an oversized garage with storage. Mid-Century roots everywhere, while introducing the comfort & style today’s buyers crave. Forest Hills gem sits just minutes from Downtown Dallas, top private schools, the Dallas Arboretum, and the crown jewel of East Dallas—White Rock Lake. Great value to get into Forest Hills.
