5422 Gaston Avenue

Nestled near the storied enclaves of Swiss Avenue and Munger Place, 5422 Gaston Avenue is one of two Georgian “Two Sisters” homes built a block apart, designed by the noted architect Bertram Hill of the Adolphus Hotel, Dallas Country Club, and the Swiss Avenue and Highland Park residential fame.
Lovely formal rooms, each with a fireplace, flank an expansive foyer with the original oak staircase as the centerpiece. Beyond the living room is an exceptional Rookwood-tiled sunroom with fountain. The butler’s pantry, featuring built-in cabinetry, provides entry to the back stairway. Adjacent, the kitchen showcases striking marble counters, a commercial Wolf range, Miele appliances and a center island. Also on the main floor is a sunlit breakfast room, a utility room, and the original tiled powder room.
Upstairs, the generous primary suite boasts a fireplace, a large California Closet, an additional cedar closet, and a beautifully updated marble bathroom with an oversized shower. Two additional light-filled bedrooms share a connected bath. A wine cellar in the basement, along with both basement and attic storage, add to the home’s thoughtful design.
Set on an expansive, beautifully landscaped property, the home also features a recently renovated pool and spa, a garage with an income-producing 649-square-foot Carriage House, a raised herb garden, and a turfed play area.
Thoughtfully constructed in every detail, this stately home—now celebrating its Centennial year—has been extensively renovated, ensuring its historic charm is seamlessly paired with modern functionality for the next generation. Take advantage of the rare opportunity to own this timeless masterpiece.
