Step Inside a Stunning Spanish Revival Treasure

This beautifully reimagined 1920s Spanish Revival home is a standout on this year’s Home Tour—and a rare chance to step inside a piece of architectural history. With its iconic Ludowici red tile roof and original cast stone entry surround, the home is a striking example of early 20th-century design thoughtfully preserved for modern living.

When the current owners purchased the home in 2020, it had never been updated—making it a rare blank slate. Recognizing the potential in its original layout and gracious proportions, they partnered with noted architect William Briggs and builders Ben Coats and Brad Bean to breathe new life into the property. Their renovation honors the home’s heritage while creating warm, livable spaces for a modern blended family.

4301 Windsor Parkway

A Fresh Take on a Classic Colonial Revival

Originally built in the 1940s, this University Park Colonial Revival has been lovingly transformed by current owners Sterling and Rob Evans into a modern family home that honors its classic roots. Drawn to the home’s potential and generous footprint, the Evans purchased the property in 2022 and embarked on a thoughtful two-year renovation with architect Harris Briggs and contractor Carolyn Isler.

From the charming herringbone brick walkway and columned entry to the distinctive red shingle roof and dormer windows, the exterior sets a timeless tone. Inside, the traditional central hall floorplan has been reimagined for contemporary living while maintaining the home’s character and elegance.

Graceful architectural features—like newly added Roman arches and a functional bar and wine area—enhance the flow of the main floor, while a complete reconfiguration of living and dining spaces adds both personality and practicality. The upstairs bedrooms and third-floor retreat offer space for the entire family, including hidden playrooms, private workspaces, and cozy gathering areas.

With layered textures, natural light, and a serene palette carried throughout, this home is a standout example of how classic architecture can be refreshed for modern family life.

4302 Overhill Drive

A Whimsical Tudor by Fooshee and Cheek

Designed in 1928 by renowned architectural duo Fooshee and Cheek, this English Arts & Crafts Tudor is a rare Highland Park treasure. Built for Newton Flippen—brother of Highland Park developer Edgar Flippen—the home sits on a prime lot along Overhill Drive and remains remarkably intact after nearly a century.

The architecture is rich with storybook charm: a gabled entrance, original timbering and plaster, and a front façade that beautifully blends masonry and fieldstone. Inside, the original floor plan still stands, and handcrafted details—from Gothic arches to stained glass windows—reflect the artisanal care of a bygone era.

The current owners, the Goodwin family, have embraced and preserved the home’s historic character with the help of Robert Clark & Associates, all while showcasing an eclectic blend of artwork, family heirlooms, and antiques. From the barrel-vaulted loggia and intimate library to the serene upstairs bedrooms and expansive backyard that slopes down to Turtle Creek, the home offers a glimpse into the elegance and craftsmanship of 1920s Dallas.
