Park Cities Estate: $8.995 Million

Designed by Anton Korn and built in 1922, this estate sits atop a hill across from Turtle Creek, and a seal of approval from the Park Cities Historical Society hangs next to the front door. The home has offices on three levels, an elevator for the ground and second level, handblown glass windows, and 10-foot ceilings on the ground level. Hand-rubbed Bordeaux-patterned wood floors are throughout, as are exquisite lighting and storage. You also get a fitness room, guest quarters, and a four-car garage on a 146-by-240 lot on one of the most prestigious streets in Highland Park. David Nichols for Mathews-Nichols,
