By Candy Evans / February 14, 2012 /

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…

By Candy Evans / February 13, 2012 /

As I told you two weeks ago, the Mary Kay home is on the market and listed with precious Karen Luter of Allie Beth Allman. Fox 4 is doing a story on it this Wednesday, and I’ve even had calla about it from Japan. Of course, it is no longer owned by the late Mary…

Really Don’t Know What To Say About This Piece of Dallas Real Estate but That It’s Driving Me to Drink: Thursday Three Hundred, Take Two

By Candy Evans / February 9, 2012 /

James Kunstler, whose name reminds me of William Kunstler, would call this home at 10233 Betty Jane near Merrel and Marsh an Eyesore. Or maybe even an Abortion.

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.”

It’s funny: while HSH Nordbank AG was seeking repayment of $79.8 million in debt on The House from the folks over at Block J LP, which may now be the biggest foreclosure posting in Dallas, I was touring the fabulous progress over at the Perot Museum. I snapped this photo of The House from The Perot and recall thinking gee,…
