这是一座为音乐而建的家。委托建造达拉斯罗林斯街4310号的原业主有一个愿望:希望音乐能响彻整座房子,钢琴声和歌声交织。建筑师和建造者出色地完成了这一挑战。哦,那些旋律真的流淌了——穿过20世纪20年代极为开放的平面布局,穿过两层高的中央大厅,沿着楼梯拾级而上,甚至穿过楼上卧室里通往大厅的独特窗户式开口。甚至一些墙面的顶部也无缝地与天花板融为一体——为每一个音符和细微的差别增添了一点声学效果。
如今,那种辉煌的创造精神依然存在,并在所有现代奢华设施的巧妙运用下得到了巧妙的提升。罗林斯街4310号建于1925年,坐落于当时新建的佩里高地——一个位于繁华的橡树园中心地带、宁静祥和、绿树成荫的社区——它不仅仅是一个优雅生活的场所,更是这个以品质、优雅和魅力为核心的社区的标志性建筑。
这栋房屋在2025年将迎来百年历史,其低调的传教士风格建筑风格已超越时代。它庄严而坚固,内外都充满了原创性和手工细节,包括装饰性的外部窗饰、烟囱角块、厚厚的灰泥内墙以及蜿蜒的锻铁楼梯扶手,据说这些扶手均由一位为高地公园村和莱克伍德众多贵族住宅打造装饰铁艺作品的工匠手工制作。
这栋3616平方英尺(约330平方米)的住宅专为各种规模的娱乐活动而建——从私密到盛大——曾举办过慈善活动、小型聚会、大型团体活动和晚宴,留下了美好的回忆。如今,客厅里的一架三角钢琴依然回荡着美妙的音乐。宽敞的客厅、宽敞的餐厅与宽敞的中央大厅相得益彰,营造出欢快的氛围,而宽敞的厨房则可满足各种需求。厨房配备早餐吧、嵌入式瓷器和玻璃器皿橱柜以及升级的不锈钢电器,包括Sub-Zero冰箱、Avallon双门葡萄酒冰箱和Scotsman制冰机。毗邻的厨房配备便捷的餐具室,配备对流壁炉、饮料中心、水槽、制冰机和洗衣机/烘干机。这一层还有一个舒适的家庭活动室,配有嵌入式书柜、壁炉、落地窗和通往后院的落地玻璃门。
楼上有三间宽敞的卧室,其中一间是主卧,设有宽敞的休息区,以及一间升级的石灰华内衬私人浴室,配备双人盥洗台和玻璃幕墙淋浴。楼梯顶部独特的走道不仅连接了主套房一侧和另一侧(包括另外两间卧室和一间升级的次浴室),还能欣赏到楼下中央大厅的壮丽景色。
后院的绿洲也令人心旷神怡。时尚现代的泳池和露台与主屋的历史建筑形成了鲜明的对比。配套设施包括户外烧烤台、与泳池融为一体的放松身心的水疗中心,以及一个垂直喷射的喷泉,喷泉发出潺潺的流水声,令人心旷神怡。房屋后方是一座两层楼的客房/车库,提供极致的待客之道,二楼设有607平方英尺(约57平方米)经过翻新的客房,配备宽敞的客厅/卧室、宽敞的小厨房和带玻璃幕墙蒸汽淋浴的宽敞浴室。 (宿舍里配备一台全尺寸洗衣机/烘干机,真是贴心之举。)长长的鹅卵石车道格外引人注目,它还可以兼作额外的活动空间,用于举办大型户外聚会和晚宴。另一个贴心且令人安心的亮点是一台 Generac 全屋发电机,可供房屋和客房/车库使用。
佩里高地 (Perry Heights) 是达拉斯一颗真正的隐世珍宝。它以商人兼建筑商 E. Gordon Perry 的名字命名,当时的广告将这个私密的小社区宣传为“一个迷人的家园,拥有所有都市便利,却又没有任何不便之处”。
It is a home that was made for music. The original owners who commissioned 4310 Rawlins Street in Dallas had one wish: that music be heard throughout the house, as the piano played and people sang. The architect and builder met the challenge, brilliantly. And, oh, did those melodies flow — through a remarkably open floor plan for the 1920s, through the two-story center hall, up the staircase and even through unique window-like openings in upstairs bedrooms that open onto that grand hall. Even the tops of some walls curve seamlessly into ceilings — a little acoustical boost for every note and nuance.
Today, that glorious, creative spirit lives on, now subtly augmented with all the modern luxuries. Built in 1925 in the then-new Perry Heights — a most peaceful and tree-filled neighborhood in the heart of bustling Oak Lawn — 4310 Rawlins Street is more than a setting for a genteel life: It is an icon in a neighborhood all about quality, elegance and charm.
An impressive 100 years old in 2025, the home’s understated, Mission-style architecture has transcended time. Stately and solid, it brims with originality and handcrafted details inside and out, including decorative exterior window trim, chimney quoins, thickly plastered interior walls and sinuous wrought-iron staircase railings, handmade by an artisan said to have created the decorative ironwork for Highland Park Village and many noble homes of Lakewood.
The 3,616-square-foot home was built for entertaining on any scale — intimate to grand — and has hosted charity functions, small gatherings, large groups and dinner parties, all with wonderful memories made. And the music still flows today, from a grand piano in the living room. That large room and the large dining room work together with the large center hall to promote convivial flow, while the spacious kitchen is up to any task. It features a breakfast bar, built-in china-and-glassware cabinet and updated stainless-steel appliances that include a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Avallon two-door wine refrigerator and Scotsman ice maker. A handy butler’s pantry is adjacent, outfitted with a convection wall oven, beverage center, sink, ice maker and washer/dryer. On this level, too, is a cozy family room complete with built-in bookcases, fireplace and wall of windows and French doors that open to the backyard.
Upstairs, there are three spacious bedrooms, one a primary retreat with a large sitting area and an updated, travertine-lined private bath with a double vanity and glass-walled shower. A unique catwalk at the top of the staircase not only connects the main suite’s side of the home to the other side (which includes the two other bedrooms and an updated second bath) but also affords a thrilling view to the center hall below.
The backyard oasis here is a thrill, too. Its sleek, contemporary pool and patio make an exciting contrast to the historic architecture of the main home. The amenities include an outdoor grill console, a relaxing spa integrated with the pool and a vertical-jet fountain that provides the soothing sounds of burbling water. A two-story guesthouse/garage at the back of the property is the ultimate in hospitality, with 607 square feet of renovated guest quarters on the second floor that offer a large living room/bedroom, large kitchenette and large bath with glass-walled steam shower. (A full-size washer/dryer in the quarters is a thoughtful touch.) The long cobblestone driveway is so attractive that it doubles as extra event space for large outdoor gatherings and dinners. Another thoughtful — and reassuring — feature is a Generac full-property generator for both the house and the guesthouse/garage.
Perry Heights is a genuine hidden gem in Dallas. It is named for businessman and builder E. Gordon Perry, and the advertisements of the day pitched the small, private neighborhood as “a charming home-place, holding every metropolitan convenience without any of the inconveniences.”
