About 15 Tern St
This exceptional Mid-Century International Style home, designed by renowned New Orleans architect George Saunders, is available for sale for the first time in three generations of single-family ownership. Meticulously preserved and thoughtfully updated, this architectural masterpiece sits on the largest lot in Lake Vista, offering unparalleled privacy and space. The expansive estate boasts over 5,500 square feet of living space in the main house, complemented by a detached 617 sq ft pool cabana with a bar, full bath, and outdoor shower. Not to be overlooked is an additional 978 sq ft of attached storage and sprawling, two-car garage with enough space to accommodate the land yachts of the 1950s & 60s. <br> Inside, clean lines, natural stone materials, solid walnut paneling, and walls of glass create a chic and inviting atmosphere. The grand foyer with a sleek staircase flows into a formal living room with soaring 20-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and stunning views of the surrounding green spaces. A more intimate den with a wet bar, built-in shelving, and a unique turquoise accent wall offers a cozy retreat. The main level also houses a generous primary suite with a dressing room, marble bath, and private patio, along with three additional bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath. The second floor features two oversized bedrooms, a jack-and-jill bath, and a balcony with views of the lake. <br> The informal living area, dining room, and enclosed library/media room offer separate spaces for relaxation and entertainment. The kitchen and laundry, updated in 1986 under the guidance of another famed local architect, Albert Ledner, blends functionality and style. Recent mechanical improvements, including two new HVAC systems and a roof replacement, ensure modern comfort and convenience. This is a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of architectural history, ready for its next chapter.
