RE: House Porn Fix, Smooth Contemporary

The architect for Darren Kozelsky’s home on East Ricks at Northaven is Lionel Morrison. He’s a genius. He did not do Northaven United Methodist Church – that was, I believe, Design by Committee.

RE: Bushes In Bluffview (Frontburner)

I just have to set the record straight: that huge house on Northwest Highway is NOT being built by President and Mrs. Bush. Here’s the story from Frontburner. (Owner is Tom Dundon.)I have more details on the home as I have been in it with the builder, Mark Molthan. (Some of the pics on his website are from the house.) This joint will give total new meaning to the phrase “over-the-top”: there will be a gymnasium, electronic batting cage, dance studio, swim park, putting green, go-cart track, stocked lake, even a slide from the second floor to the first floor family room Traildust style. Stay tuned to a future issue of D Home — we’ve got the whole story sewn up for you. As far as Bluffview, I do know that calls have been made by the President’s agent here in town asking several people if they might consider selling, and a handful of those calls have have been made to Bluffview homes. Finally, I was told by one of Laura’s relatives (off record so cannot reveal name) that whatever they buy in Dallas will be very, very low key. “You know how cheap Bushie is,” she told her relative.

RE: Pit Bulls, Preston Hollow East, Unpublished Harris Interview

Remember the pit bull story and the guy who is suing one of the people his dogs bit along with Ebby Halliday Realtors? (How can you forget, right?) Here’s an interesting interview with John Harris in Park Cities People, from ace reporter Josh Hixson. Harris spoke on the record to Hixson and justified both his lawsuit and bringing the dogs back to the neighborhood, even though he said he wouldn’t. 

“I think,” says Hixson, “we can assume he’s upset because he lost a potential buyer for his home on Royalton Drive.”

Here’s the link to the story, but here’s the really good stuff: part of the interview that didn’t make it in the story – a must-read!
