An Amazing French County Estate in Highland Park, Dallas, Texas

2011-01-03T04:37:00.000-08:00

Take a look at this amazing classic French country estate in Preston Hollow, Dallas, Texas. Located at 9339 Hathaway Street, this home is easily my number one pick out of the whole north Dallas area. The classical style as well as the near perfect stone exterior combine to make this estate what it is.

With 10,806 sq. feet of living space, this multi-million dollar exquisite home enjoys luxury amenities from the 1.9 acres outside to the extravagant inside. Situated directly in front of the main living area entrance preceding the large iron gates is a cobblestone circle driveway finished with a large fountain in the middle creating a tranquil and calm sense. Leading to the right of the estate is the 4 car garage and motor court. The back yard enjoys a large pool with plenty of "hangout" space situated around the swimming area. A cabana and outdoor kitchen are also located near the pool area. Near the very back of the estate is a creek where a bridge, matching the stone of the house, was built.

The interior of the home is very costly yet comfortable. It includes 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, 2 family living rooms, a library, card room, wine cellar with wine tasting area, multi-seat theater, exercise room, and a marvelous grand foyer with dual staircases.

The thing I love about this home, and others in this particular area, is the symmetrical feeling to the home. You can imaginably draw a line down the center of the main living home and it would be perfect symmetrical! Very cool.

The estate is located at 9339 Hathaway Street in Preston Hollow, Dallas, Texas and is listed at $9,450,000.

Bristol Palin Get a New House for the Holidays

2010-12-25T09:57:00.002-08:00

BUYER: Bristol Palin
LOCATION: Maricopa, AZ
PRICE: $172,000
SIZE: 3,929 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms

YOUR MAMAS NOTES: It's Christmas Eve y'all and shooting out of the real estate gate like a Christmas present is the real estate news that 20-year old Bristol Palin paid $172,000 to purchase herself a house in the unlikely community of Maricopa, AZ, about 35 miles south of Phoenix.

Miss Palin's claim to semi-celebrity is, of course, is that's she's the eldest daughter of political rabble-rouser and Tea Party queen Sarah Palin. She became part of the national discourse when it was revealed during the 2008 presidential campaign–when her mother was the Republican Party's rather unusual and unexpected choice for vice-president–that a teen aged Miss Palin was going to be a mother.

The children will note that the abstinence advocate and unwed teenage mother of one paid for her new crib in cash. That's right, puppies, cold hard cash. We'd say that young Miss Palin must have got a financial leg up from her newly minted millionaire mommy, but somewhere recently we heard (but can not confirm) that the younger Miss Palin earns fifty grand a pop to go talk to teenagers about sexual abstinence. Oh pleeze. How does a young gal who birthed a baby as a teenager, made a huge splash on that stoopid Dancing With the Stars program and has the financial power at the dewy age of 20 to pay $172,000–in cash–for a house in suburban Phoenix have the nerve to get up in front of teenagers and tell them that an unexpected pregnancy could ruin their lives. Honestly. It would be high-sterical if the moral audacity of the thing wasn't so completely unnerving.

Anyhoodles poodles, listing information shows Miss Palin's new digs measure 3,929 square feet and includes 5 bedrooms and 2.5 poopers. There's a three car garage for all Miss Palin's whips and the large, landscaped backyard, according to listing information, is "perfect for volleyball, BBQs and more!" We can't be bothered to discuss the details of the house because, well, there's nothing to discuss. It's just a big ol' beige piece of architectural banality. You can talk it up and tart it up but a pig with lipstick is still a pig.

The ungated Cobblestone Farms subdivision has palm tree lined streets that wind in on each other like a nautilus shell and includes basketball courts, baseball field, soccer field, children's play center, a swimming pool, and a horse shoe playing pit. That's right, horse shoes. Sakes alive. Horse shoes. Lowerd have mercy.

On that note we're off to slumber with one eye open to see if Santy Claus will be coming down the chimney tonight.
