Open House Sunday: Did Brangelina Lease This Beverly Drive Mansion During SuperBowl?

Share News:

The rumor was rampant in Dallas Real Estate circles last winter that Angelina Jolie, Brad and all the kiddos had leased this house — 3911 Beverly Drive — for the weekend while in town for the Super Bowl.  If so, someone ought to ring up Mr. and Mrs. Pitt and tell them the place is now even more of a bargain. The Dave Perry-Miller listing is reduced from $7,995,000 to $7,500,000. Hot dang! The home is also open on Sunday, July 10 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. No wonder it’s a hotbed of rumors, 3911 Beverly is beyond wonderful! There are 8 bedrooms, 7.3 baths, 9 living areas, a huge four car garage plus everything you could ever need in 12,250 square feet. Added plus: the home is on a giant 78 foot wide, 225 foot deep lot. Even more, it overlooks the Dallas Country Club, so the backyard seems to go on forever. 

It may also be the only home on Beverly large enough to hold that Jolie-Pitt brood!

There are four grand stories total that commence with a Sunset Boulevard-quality dramatic spiral staircase, but never fear clacking the Loubies on those steps: there’s an elevator that serves each floor. Of course there is total fancy-pants, whole-house networking, rare marble and granites, wide-plank hardwoods and hand-chiseled limestone floors.

Built in 2010, the home is rather energy-efficient, including 19-SEER air-conditioning and super duper insulation. In winter, you could almost heat the house by lighting all five — yes, 5! — fireplaces. This is also a family-friendly home, though there are five balconies (one to match each fireplace?). Location has a capital “L” here: the home is on a coveted block of Beverly with only three houses, so the Dallas Country Club and Lakeside Park are within walking distance.

On the ground floor: the library,  great room with hidden screen and projection system, and formal and informal dining areas. Any Dartmouth grad would want this island kitchen boasting Olympian Danby granite countertops direct from Danby, New Hampshire, a six-burner Wolf gas range, a Sub-Zero, and Wolf double convection ovens. Do not forget there is a lower level, a veritable entertaining mecca: billiards room, exercise room, a home theater, a living room, a wet bar and wine room with tasting area. The second level also has a den, plus a guest wing with living, dining, kitchenette. The master is on the second floor and has great views of the DCC.  Knock-out bathroom includes jetted tub, dual steam shower and expansive closets. The guest suite is on the third and top floor, with a sitting area, a balcony and the best fireworks views in town. Or the country, for that matter.

When  I checked it out, it appears that Brangelina et al did NOT stay at this home, though a source did tell me he had seen a lot of Secret Service types around the place SuperBowl week. The house is owned by Catherine T. and Robert C. Karlseng, he being a very big real estate attorney in town.

    This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free of charge. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a high quality resource for free. It?s the old what goes around comes close to routine. Did you acquired plenty of links and I see lots of trackbacks?
