At the corner of Hillcrest Avenue and Mockingbird Lane, where Highland Park’s stately charm meets everyday Dallas momentum, sits a house that has been thoughtfully, thoroughly, and stylishly reborn. 5501 Hillcrest Ave. is a fully remodeled French-inspired residence listed at $2.15 million, and it’s one of those rare properties that manages to feel both classic and completely current.
Taken down to the studs in a 2023 renovation, the home now offers four bedrooms, three full baths, and one half-bath, and it’s wrapped in elegant architectural details that were carefully preserved. Ornate crown molding, a cast-stone fireplace, and beautiful millwork give a nod to the past, while everything behind the walls — electrical, plumbing, insulation, HVAC, windows, roof — has been modernized for today’s living. It’s the best of both worlds, and then some.
Listing agent Yoana Tumax put it perfectly:
“Living at 5501 Hillcrest means you get the grace and character of a 1952 Highland Park home without any of the compromises. Every system, every finish, every detail has been updated so you can just move in and enjoy it.”
The redesigned kitchen anchors the home with Bosch appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a large island that flows naturally into the dining and living areas — ideal for weeknight dinners and weekend gatherings alike. The foyer wraps around the front of the house, opening to views of one of two private yard spaces, giving the home a light-filled, welcoming feel from the moment you step inside.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, including the expansive primary suite, which offers a retreat-worthy experience with marble floors, a shower, a freestanding soaking tub, dual vanities, and a generous walk-in closet. There’s also an accessory dwelling complete with a full bath and mini-split system, perfect for college students who want to live “away” from home, a home office, or both.
And then there’s the location. Walk to SMU and Snider Plaza, be minutes from Highland Park Village, and hop onto Central Expressway or the Dallas North Tollway in no time. It’s the kind of convenience that quietly elevates daily life.
“This corner of Highland Park offers such a wonderful rhythm. You’re close to everything you need, yet the home itself feels like a private retreat. It’s an incredibly special place to live,” Yoana said.
