Pretty In Pink
8915 Douglas Ave. $5,700,000
This legendary 12,300-square-foot mansion designed by architect Fred Wynn belonged to the late Mary Kay Ash. From the exterior stucco to pink marble floors, counters, commodes, Sherle Wagner fixtures, and walls of the Liberace-style master bath shoawer and tub, pink is the color of choice. The current owners retained the great room paneling from a 100-year-old red oak tree so large that it shut down an Arkansas mill during the year it took to complete it. Also original: painted celestial ceilings, carpets, and furnishings selected by Ash, including her famous swan breakfast table and circa ’80s pink iris sculptured rug that matches the kitchen tile backsplash. New additions include new paint (less pink), golden Brazilian teakwood floors, some millwork, and antiques that can be sold with the home. It features six living areas, bedrooms, and baths; four powder rooms; a bar; wine cellar; safe room and panic room; four-car garage; and front pools and fountains.
