Dear Tax Doctor: From reading the recent post, the one about the guy building a compound on Walnut Hill Lane, it seems that you can get a tax break from living on a busy street. Someone else also told me this recently. We want to lower our property tax burden and get a smaller house. I am…
Golfing hottie Hunter and his bride, former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Kandi (Harris) are building a 19,000 plus square foot home in The Creeks of Preston Hollow. The mega mansion at 10719 Bridge Hollow will not only have underground parking, it will have an underground basketball court! Hunter’s home in Colleyville, (pictured here) meantime, remains on the market at $1,499,999. The 7105 Vanguard (Colleyville) home is just about the value of Hunter’s one-acre Bridge Hollow lot over there at Royal and Inwood. DCAD has it valued at $1.2 plus just for the dirt. He and Kandi bought it in November of 2010. Estimated taxes are $33,000 for starters… I cannot even begin to think what his property taxes will be one that puppy is complete!
I have written about this house before, and I could write about it every single day of my life. It gets my vote for one of the most beautiful homes in Dallas on the INSIDE as well as out.

We even knew the people who lived in the home prior to it being torn down in the early 1990’s to create this temple of architectural beauty.
Eureka? Listen to this report from the folks at CBS 11:

Briggs says the luxury market is growing as the region draws wealthy new residents. These homes are filled with wine cellars and home theaters. Another comes with an indoor basketball court.
Inman’s Agent ReBoot is coming to Dallas AGAIN this month, Wednesday, February 29, all day long at the Renaissance Richardson. Soon you’ll have a cute ad over there on the side to click on so you can sign up. It’s all of $49. What, you may ask, is Agent ReBoot and why should you be there?…
Hot new listing for you steamy lovers out there at 3604 Waldorf, little west of Marsh. Full disclosure: we lived on nearby Ainsworth years ago, our very first home. Yeah, the print on our marriage license wasn’t even dry (and my husband had stuck himself with a needle while drawing blood from someone with VD…
