The Lantern
The Lantern balances architectural discipline with warmth.
From the gated circular drive to the white-brick facade, The Lantern arrives with unusual calm for a home of this scale.
Designed by Jeffrey Dungan Architects with interiors by M. Naeve of Houston, the residence balances scale with restraint. White oak floors, hand-troweled plaster walls, honed marble, and steel-framed openings create a palette that feels tailored rather than showy.
Formal entertaining rooms, open everyday living areas, a main-level primary suite, lower-level lounge spaces, and covered outdoor moments are arranged so the house stays connected to the grounds throughout.
Sqft per floor plan, lot size per TCAD. Seller will entertain all offers including those with requests for buyer agent compensation.

The Lantern
What defines The Lantern.
The Lantern is defined by proportion, material warmth, and a plan that stays connected to the grounds.

A gated brick-paved circular drive, mature canopy, and layered facade establish privacy and permanence before you ever step inside.
