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.
For the MLS-backed facts, showing details, compliance disclosures, and current listing record, use the full 3802 Balcones Drive listing on TheKeenanGroup.com. This property website is the editorial showcase; the Keenan Group listing page is the factual listing record.
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.
