Monday Morning Millionaire: Wah Wah Wataugua! Beautiful Bluffview Listing Has Spring in Every Step!!

By Candy Evans / February 26, 2013 /

You’ve seen this listing before, yes? Probably the most beautiful backyard in Dallas, if not in the top ten running. A stunning Mediterranean by Bob Thompson is a truly Santa Barbara style home built in 2001 on 1.29 lush Bluffview acres. Honestly, you may have to remind yourself every four minutes that you are not at The Dallas Arboretum. Inside those smooth stucco walls is a 7,863 square foot home with five bedrooms, three living areas and a five-car garage plus separate guest quarters, huge kitchen, breakfast area, great room, library, dining room, exercise room, and a master to end all master bedroom suites.

Talk About House Porn! Little Forest Hills Area Modern Advertises as Adult Film Location on Craigslist

By Joanna England / December 21, 2012 /

I know homeowners seek to have photo shoots and movies filmed at their homes. It’s a way to make money on a home that is either unoccupied or on the market. This, however, is a first for me, as I’ve never seen someone want to rent their home for an — ahem — adult film.…
