The Mary Kay Mansion in Dallas Now Reduced to Almost Preston Hollow Lot Value

Share News:

8915 Douglas ext 2I cannot believe that this home is still, STILL, on the market. The agent, Karen Luter, is one of the hardest working agents in town, a genius who has marketed her fingers to the bone for 8915 Douglas. It’s the home of a Dallas icon for Lord’s sake, and now it has been reduced AGAIN to $2,799,999 from an original high of $3,300,000, which had been lowered to $2,990,999. I mean, what gives. Brian Hagan tells me that dirt is now running at $2,500,000 per acre in the honeypot. This property backs to the Dallas North Tollway has one house buffering it from the North Dallas Tollway, but you are getting 1.050 acres, so who cares? Located on a delicious part of Douglas your neighbors are: Angel Rangel, Baxter Brinkman x three, Lawrence Wolfish, and EyeMart Express honcho Dr.  Douglas Barnes, who has the best-looking grass on the street. It’s fake, and I love it!

Yes, it needs work, and pink may not be your thing. (Why not?) This home is reduced now enough to accommodate a remodel. Surely some high-level Mary Kay sales executive who has sold a bazillion tubes of True Dimension Wild About Pink can fork over the bucks to live in their namesake’s castle?????8915 Douglas entrance
