4237 Armstrong Pkwy., $11,499,000

You’ve surely driven by and noticed the landmark Dallas estate designed by Hal Thompson and built in 1926 for Harry A. Olmsted, president of the State Fair of Texas and co-founder of Olmsted-Kirk Paper Company. The house sits on a peninsula-shaped lot—a little less than one acre—and it’s been updated and restored with great respect to its architectural integrity. The gourmet kitchen includes high-end design amenities such as a vegetable sink with a water purification and chiller system. The home boasts 8,023 square feet of artful touches—from the exterior fieldstone to the antique oak-paneled study. Additional features include six bedrooms, six and a third bathrooms, formals, solarium, study, office, exercise room, screened porch, pool, cabana, and greenhouse.
