There’s no shortage of big homes in Dallas — but the ones that actually feel livable are the ones buyers keep circling back to.
In Highland Park, where demand has stayed steady thanks to an ongoing wave of relocations, homes that strike that balance tend to stand out quickly.
The newly listed residence at 3421 Princeton Avenue leans into that idea.
Priced at $5,999,999 and located just steps from Armstrong Elementary, the six-bedroom home combines traditional architecture with a handful of features that go beyond the usual checklist — including a fully built-out guest structure with a golf simulator and private theater.
Listed with Melissa Mettry of Douglas Elliman, the stately property offers more than 6,300 square feet of interior space, plus a layout that keeps things functional without losing the sense of scale expected at this price point.
A layout that keeps things open without feeling oversized
The home opens into a series of connected living spaces that feel open but not cavernous — a detail that’s easy to miss until you walk through a few oversized Dallas builds.
Natural light carries across the main level, and five fireplaces are placed throughout the home, giving each major room a defined focal point. The result is a layout that works just as well for everyday living as it does for entertaining.
Five fireplaces, leathered ceilings, and details that add texture
Throughout the home, smaller details quietly do a lot of the work.
Leathered ceilings in the bar area add texture, while custom millwork and multiple fireplaces give the interiors a sense of depth. None of it feels overdone, just layered enough to keep things interesting.
A kitchen built for actual use (not just for show)
Кухня at 3421 Princeton Avenue lands right in that sweet spot between polished and practical.
Outfitted with Wolf appliances, a built-in Sub-Zero fridge, and a Miele coffee system, it’s designed to handle real use — not just look good in listing photos.
The layout flows directly into a temperature-controlled wine cellar, which acts as a natural bridge into the dining room.
A Venetian plaster dining room that actually earns its spotlight
Some dining rooms feel like an afterthought. This one doesn’t.
Finished with Venetian plaster walls and anchored by its own fireplace, the space has just enough texture and detail to stand apart without feeling overly formal. Positioned between the kitchen and wine cellar, it’s clearly meant to be used, not just admired.
The primary suite gets its own patio and plenty of breathing room
Upstairs, the primary suite is set up as a true retreat.
It includes a fireplace, a private patio, and a bathroom with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual water closets. The oversized walk-in closet rounds things out, giving the space the kind of scale buyers expect without pushing into excess.
Every secondary bedroom comes with its own en-suite bath and finely-appointed walk-in closet, keeping things consistent (and classy) across the board.
A detached back house with a golf simulator (and a full theater upstairs)
This is where the property separates itself from the pack.
The detached back house — not included in the main square footage — is fully built out with a golf simulator on the ground level and a private movie theater above. It’s the kind of setup usually reserved for much larger estates.
And if priorities change, the structure can be converted back into a three-car garage, adding a layer of flexibility that’s rare for amenity-driven spaces.
Outdoor spaces designed to be used year-round
Outside, the property leans into low-maintenance living.
Artificial turf keeps things clean and usable year-round, while a built-in grill and multiple seating areas make the backyard feel like an extension of the house. French doors connect the indoor and outdoor spaces, keeping everything within easy reach.
A DaVinci roof and smart systems round out the build
The home is topped with a DaVinci slate-style roof and includes integrated audio and camera systems throughout.
A custom mudroom connects to an epoxy-finished garage, adding a practical layer to a home that otherwise leans heavily into lifestyle features.
A Highland Park home that doesn’t try too hard
In a neighborhood where new builds often compete on size alone, 3421 Princeton Avenue takes a slightly different approach.
It delivers the square footage and finishes buyers expect — but backs it up with a layout that works, a guest structure that adds real value, and a location that keeps everything within walking distance.
At just under $6 million, it’s the kind of Highland Park home that doesn’t rely on excess to make its case — and that’s exactly why it stands out.
