1308 San Rafael Drive A Forest Hills treasure, originally designed by esteemed Dallas architect Clarence C. Bulger for Dr. Robert Karper, this rare residence seamlessly blends preserved historic charm with the luxury and efficiency of all-new construction. Thoughtfully restored and completely rebuilt between 2024–2025, the home honors its 1940s character while integrating every modern comfort. Upon arrival, a sweeping front lawn framed by mature trees welcomes you to a storybook façade with restored steel windows and a newly engineered tile roof. Inside, sunlight fills open, refined living spaces designed for both elegance and everyday ease. The reimagined layout offers multiple living areas—including a versatile lower-level suite perfect for a media room, home office, or guest retreat. The kitchen, anchored by a large island and breakfast bar, features custom Amcraft cabinetry, undercounter wine fridges, a hidden pantry with built-in refrigerator drawers, and premium appliances ideal for gourmet entertaining. Three ensuite bedrooms and an additional half bath offer privacy and sophistication, complemented by curated finishes from Pierce Hardware. Every major system—plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and structural—has been newly installed with uncompromising quality. Concrete driveways and walkways, reinforced roof framing, and superior foam insulation ensure comfort, efficiency, and long-term durability. The property includes a detached three-car garage, automatic gated entry, and lush, thoughtfully landscaped grounds. Perfectly positioned near White Rock Lake, the Arboretum, and scenic biking trails, this home embodies the rare harmony of architectural heritage and modern luxury. A truly move-in ready masterpiece—offered furnished if desired.
