Mount Vernon (4009 West Lawther) On The Market

Hot hot scoop, and I’d rather “have a headache” for a year than reveal my sources but one of the best homes in Dallas is on the market for REPORTEDLY (I repeat, reportedly) $50 million. Eleanor Mowery Sheets, not in the MLS. If Dallas had a White House, Mount Vernon would be it. Built in 1930, Mount Vernon — so named because it is a replica of Washington’s home — was purchased by H.L. Hunt in 1937 for $69,000. (Talk about appreciation!) It included ten acres of land and an assortment of animals. Now owned by John and Theresa Amend, who updated the home to more than perfection adding, among other things, a bowling alley and beaucoup updates, it sits right there on White Rock Lake in all it’s glory. Super exclusive listing, super exclusive agent and yes, I did hear the big 5-0.

    That would be George Washington’s house. Jefferson’s is Monticello.
