Located within an easy distance of both Northwest Highway and the Dallas North Tollway, the Mary Kay mansion is a landmark estate in Old Preston Hollow. Rich in character with an established and memorable identity, this extraordinary home fits gracefully into its natural setting on more than an acre of lavishly landscaped gardens, tile terraces, Koi ponds and charming fountains. Acclaimed architect Fred Wynn of Dallas Design Group-Architects designed the home consistent with his mantra of emphasizing “curb appeal, originality and functional open planning.” The residence succeeds on every count! Beyond the soaring entrance hall with its sweeping main staircase and colorful mural is the exquisitely detailed and aptly named Great Room, an expansive wood-paneled living area whose two-story, beveled glass windows shower sunlight on the luxurious cabinetry, three grand opera balconies and twin theater chandeliers rescued from Rosie O'Grady's famous saloon.The three-room master suite consists of an oversize bedroom area with a cozy fireplace, mezzanine-style sitting area, period chandeliers and a repeat of the two-story, beveled-glass windows that grace the Great Room. Replicating Liberace's home, the master bath features a hand-carved pink marble tub, shower and commode flanked by pink marble columns and unique, pink marble hardware. Ceiling treatments throughout the home are spectacular and range from creamy smooth plaster to coffered hardwoods to intricate designs and lighted domes that appropriately complement individual rooms such as the music room, guest quarters, media room or the stately formal dining room. Sheltered on all four sides by an arcade of Corinthian columns, statuary and benches, the very private pool is fashioned after one at San Simeon. Beautifully illuminated and heated for year-around use, the pool is both an astounding backdrop for the Great Room and an exciting area for outdoor entertaining. Manicured lawns, lighted fountains, security gates.
