About This Property

Introducing Casa Rolinda - where modernism found its soul. Set beneath a sweeping canopy of mature trees on a remarkable .722-acre corner lot, this rare midcentury estate is a study in shadow, light and exceptional design.

Originally created in the 1950s by prominent Dallas builder, former president of the Dallas Home Builders Association and former Dallas City Council member Roland Pelt, the home was designed for his own family. His daughter, Rolinda, spent her childhood here-growing up amid the towering trees, inspired architecture and undeniable magic of this extraordinary setting. Casa Rolinda is named in her honor, a tribute to the little girl who first called this remarkable place home.

Today, the residence has been artfully reimagined through a meticulous restoration by Chad Dorsey Design, honoring its architectural legacy while elevating it for modern life. Spanning approximately 5,151 square feet across the main house, finished basement and detached guest quarters, the home unfolds with sculptural lines, rich materials and dramatic walls of glass that dissolve the boundary between indoors and out.

Every room carries its own atmosphere, yet the home remains effortlessly connected-equally suited for intimate evenings, spirited gatherings and quiet moments beneath the trees. Four bedrooms, detached guest quarters and a rare finished basement offer remarkable flexibility, while the expansive grounds create a private, resort-like world in the heart of Kessler Park.

Soulful, moody and utterly singular, Casa Rolinda is more than a beautifully restored home. It is a living work of Dallas modernism-an architectural original shaped by family, memory and imagination, thoughtfully preserved for its next chapter.

Here is an exceptional opportunity to own a large and beautifully constructed mid-century ranch home located on over .7 acre of park-like grounds. Custom designed in 1951 for developer Rowland Pelt, contractor of many of the homes in the Sam Dealey Estates subdivision of Kessler Park, this home is noted architecturally for its distinctive Roman brick facade and long horizontal lines. A number of 70-year old oaks and “cutting gardens” with beds of perennials make the fully fenced and gated rear and side yards a pleasure to behold year round. An exuberant mid-century architectural detail is the serpentine, tile paved, covered walkway connecting the home to an oversized garage and guest house. Interesting fact: The home’s grounds are irrigated by much of the original copper piped sprinkler system, the plans of which still exist! Move in and enjoy or take it to the next level with a 2022 remodel. Either way you will own one of those special homes in Kessler Park.
