Dallas Real Estate Event - The Park Cities Historic and Preservation Society Opens the Doors to Six "Important and Architecturally Interesting Homes" in Highland and University Parks

As Candy Evans from SecondShelters posted and reminded me, the much talked about Park Cities Historic and Preservation Society will host this year's official 2011 Home Tour.  Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend because I will be in College Station.  But, I do encourage all my readers to attend this very interesting and fun-filled event.

This year's Home Tour features six "important and architecturally interesting homes" of the Park Cities.  All funds amassed through ticket sales and donations will aid to the historic legacy of the Park Cities.  For more on the event itself, including the very cheap and affordable ticket prices, visit the Park Cities Historic and Preservation Society's main website here.

As I said above, the home tour will feature 6 well regarded and talked about residences in the Park Cities.  Here's a bit on each house that will be featured on the tour:

1. 4236 Armstrong Parkway 

A classic example of a Park Cities residence, this 1929 built 3 story Highland Park home includes 6,296 sq. feet of living space.  The interior is elaborately dressed in Louis XVI Normandy architecture and design.  It's currently for sale, listed at $5,600,000.

Here's The Listing

2. 4308 Stanhope Avenue

This residence was built in 1940.  It includes 3,258 sq. feet of living space and 4 bedrooms.  

3. 7715 Turtle Creek Blvd.

This 1937 built residence combines different designs to form a well planned estate.  The 2,510 sq. foot home includes 3 bedrooms.

4. 4809 Drexel Drive

As the oldest home on the tour, 4809 Drexel reinstates the type of architecture and design that thrived through America in the early 1900s.  Built in 1914, the 6,000 sq. foot "mega mansion" back then undoubtedly serves as a blast from the past - what a historic home!

5. 4200 Shenandoah Street

This 1941 built residence includes 3,326 sq. feet of living space and a 2010 appraisal of just over $1.1 million.

6. 3830 Windsor Lane

The last, and most expensive, home on the tour is 3830 Windsor Lane recently put on the market for $11,950,000.  The 8,343 sq. foot mansion was built in 1955 and enjoys a comfortable 1.5 acres.  

Here's The Listing

Notice how I only gave a limited blurb on the home - it's because I want you all to go and enjoy yourselves this weekend to see these amazing homes in person!  If you do go, let me know how it goes.

Thanks for reading,
