Listed at $4.25M, Bud Oglesby design offers contemporary style, architectural significance

With its clean, contemporary look, light-filled rooms, and harmony between indoor and outdoor spaces, this 1988 home along Turtle Creek bears the signature traits of its noted architect, Bud Oglesby.

The residence is located in a gated subdivision often referred to as Park Bridge Court, after the street name, says listing agent Faisal Halum with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty. Halum adds that Park Bridge Court includes homes designed by other noted architects such as Frank Welch and the firm Bodron/Fruit. The community is nestled among beloved Dallas spots like the Katy Trail, Hotel Crescent Court and the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek.

Previous owners renovated the home in 2019 with the expertise of architect Russell Buchanan and builder Bert Smith. Contemporary design sensibility is evident throughout the home’s 5,669 square feet. With three bedrooms, three bathrooms and one half-bathroom — plus the living room, library, formal dining room and office — there’s no shortage of space.

The property bears that distinct Oglesby style with rooms designed to make the most of their natural surroundings. “It’s almost like being in a treehouse,” Halum says, noting that Turtle Creek is visible from many of the interior spaces.

The Bulthaup kitchen includes on-trend stainless steel countertops and white oak cabinetry. Top-of-the-line appliances also outfit the kitchen, and there’s a nearby breakfast nook that offers additional dining space to complement the formal dining room. Certainly, the home is well-suited to entertaining: Hosts will appreciate the wet bar, second pantry with wine storage and the silver closet that’s lined in Pacific Silvercloth.

All bedrooms, along with an office, are located on the second level. The primary suite provides an intimate retreat and is complete with both a bedroom and a sitting area. This divided layout, with a partition that separates the bedroom from the living space, was part of more recent changes that also included a gut-renovation of the bathroom. With heated terrazzo floors, Italian tile, white oak cabinetry and top-line fixtures, the update is nothing short of luxurious. There are even dual walk-in closets, two separate water closets, a utility room, and a third closet or flex room.

Homeowners can take advantage of that private, creek-side setting with a deck made of Ipe wood just off the breakfast nook. An additional turfed deck is located on the second level, accessible from the office. The home also has an elevator.
