Description
ONE OF THE GREATEST LANDMARKS IN DALLAS, TX IS ON THE MARKET. This estate takes your breath away just watching the original custom iron gates open. Yes, this is the original home of R.L. Thornton. Built in 1927, the Chateau was built in its day for those who lived like the Rich and Famous. Needing an abundance of privacy? Another set of original iron private gates to service owners and guest through the alley are still in place. Sitting on approximately an acre, the entire grounds are full of stone walkways, moat, sculptures, multiple water features, archways, and private sitting areas both above ground as well as underground, much of which is original. The home which was once was 3,200 sf and is now 7,577 sf. The current owner, along with his builder did a phenomenal job at bringing the old to the new giving the home a place to live in the way we prefer in 2025. This house misses nothing. You have 4 floors total. The fourth floor is a castle Tourette large enough for a small party to enjoy your view of the grounds from above and enjoy a cocktail while watching the sunset. You have 6 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 2 half baths, 2 offices, 2 family rooms, 2 dining areas, a basement with a wine room, and open bar area. All said this is not even half of the things to mention. It's a come and see with your own eyes. Look forward to seeing all of you.
