Where Did Tom and Cinda Hicks Live Before They Bought the Crespi Estate, aka Walnut Place?

They lived on Beverly Drive in Highland Park, at 3640 Beverly to be exact. The beautiful, 9,874 square foot estate built in 1985 was on almost one acre of prime Highland Park dirt, featured six bedrooms, six full baths and a couple powders, eight fireplaces (apparently the Hicks really love a fireplace in every room), formals, a grand entry with a double stairway, formals, kitchen with morning room, both a Butlers and walk-in pantry, the master suite had a sitting room and exercise room and his and her baths (as does Walnut Place), a third floor with two bedrooms and bath, plus huge 1808 square foot quarters/cabana and a pool, arbor, fountain. The home took a little time to sell, but sell it did courtesy of Allie Beth Allman. Over the weekend I heard that Allie Beth has known the Hicks since 1984, been his agent all that time even through a second marriage. There is a lesson for agents here.

Also, the home was designed by Dallas starchitect Larry Boerder, who also was the architect for Andy Beal’s home on Gillon. So both billionaires lived in Larry Boerder-designed homes before they bought Walnut Place, the Crespi Estate.

The home sold in October of 2004 for $7,900,000, which was asking price. It is now owned by Charlotte Jones Anderson, Jerry Jone’s daughter.
