Inside the Most Beautiful Penthouse on Turtle Creek Boulevard: The Winspear at The Vendome

By Candy Evans / February 9, 2012 /

It was like a coming out party this afternoon over at 3505 Turtle Creek Blvd. as every high end agent in town tossed on a fur wrap and checked out the former home of Bill and Margot Winspear. Mrs. Winspear now lives in a smaller unit in the same building. You cannot blame her: this one is 14,740 whopping square feet and they were not kidding when they said 24 foot ceilings! I got lost five times and felt like I was in a Matrix-like version of the game CLUE. For some reason, I kept wandering back into the Billiards Room. Everyone marched through, from Claire Dewar and Nancy Holloway and the whole darn team, half of Briggs-Freeman Sothebys, Erin Mathews and David Nichols (air kisses!) Dawn Rejebian, Debbie Ingram, Katye Sloan, some of US led almost by the hand by listing agent Ralph Randall lest you (ME) get lost. These photos turned out better than I expected given the gloomy day, and Ralph promises o-quality photos soon. Overheard: “At this new reduced price ($6,695,000), whoever buys it is basically pocketing $4 million.”

Just what everyone needs in their home, a shark tank and spray-on tanning room. I’m starting on mine tomorrow! First of all, the Texas connection to this 44,954 square foot home going up in Tarpon Springs, Florida — a cute Greek fishing village near Tampa/St. Pete — is that the owners are Texans. Who, we…
