MULTIPLE OFFERS RECEIVED BEST AND FINAL BY SUNDAY, JUNE 14th 5PM CST! A rare architectural offering in the heart of Lakewood, 7206 Tokalon seamlessly blends timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship, and extraordinary gardens. Originally built in 1949 and thoughtfully reimagined by its long-time owners with architect James Manning, the home was transformed into a sophisticated indoor-outdoor retreat inspired by 1960s Southern California modernism. Set on an exceptional lot with mature landscaping, a rolling backyard, and remarkable privacy, the property enjoys a rare borrowed view that stretches for miles, creating a sense of openness seldom found in the city. The renovation introduced striking architectural features including a sunken living room, expansive open-concept living spaces, and a dramatic atrium overlooking a reflecting pool and lush gardens. Walls of glass and carefully framed sight lines blur the line between indoors and out, filling the home with natural light and garden views. Custom millwork and curated materials, including riftsawn oak, Carrara marble, gray slate, and ceramic tile, create a refined yet inviting aesthetic. Thoughtful storage solutions and cohesive design details honor the home’s mid-century influences while supporting modern living. A private studio overlooking the gardens provides an inspiring workspace with concrete floors, rich wood built-ins, and integrated paneling. The residence and grounds have been featured in multiple publications and were recently highlighted in a book celebrating notable Texas gardens. More than a home, this property represents decades of artistic vision and collaboration between artist and designer Julie Cohn and landscape architect David Rolston, a truly special property where architecture, nature, and artistry exist in perfect balance.
