Nestled in the exclusive Volk Estates, 3806 University Boulevard is one of those mysterious properties you can’t quite see from the road, but you know must be incredible. After perusing the listing on AllieBeth.com, my suspicions were confirmed: this home is stunning.
Goar Park and Turtle Creek flank the nearly 12,000 square foot estate, providing perfect views for those unwinding in the covered terrace or by the outdoor fireplace. Built in the 1930s and extensively redone by award-winning architect Ralph Duesing in 1998, the house’s rich interiors and grand, classic style will transport you to the stately manors of the European countryside.
Finally, a home suitable for living out all of my Jane Austen fantasies. Except, you know, with dishwashers and sprinkler systems.
I want it all. I want to sip coffee in the breakfast room and tea in the loggia. I want to curl up with one of the many books on display in my master bedroom. I want to treat myself to a day at the spa, in my own home.
If pretty things make you happy, look at these photos. If not, avert your eyes, you strange person, and look at this rainy Dallas day instead.
