Home of the Week 6 Nonesuch

You may have heard a lot about Nonesuch Road in Lakewood these past few weeks, ever since the current owners of the fabled Stanley Marcus house, Mark and Patty Lovvorn, put their estate on the market… for sale yes, but not in MLS. You may recall how we told you that Stanley and Billie Marcus wanted to build a home in Dallas to raise their three children. About 7.5 wooded Lakewood acres, three blocks from White Rock Lake, plus creek, were given to the young couple by Stanley’s father, Herbert, who lived nearby. Stanley Marcus himself was born in The Cedars. His original home on Westlake behind the current Marcus estate sold a few years ago and is still standing strong, being redone by the owners as we speak.

Platting can be complex, so bear with me here. The current Marcus estate is on about three of those original acres (including an exclusive creek). There are two lots at 8 and 12 Nonesuch, which also enjoy creek usage in addition to their platted lots. Then there are more homes on the remaining 2.6, replatted in 1994, and one of them just came on the market like yesterday, listed with my favorite former Mayor Pro Tem, Mary Poss.

Perched on almost an acre (approx .9 acre surface use of lot) in the gated portion of the Marcus estate subdivision platted 20 years ago, and, like many houses in that area, it is in the “Stanley Marcus Addition.” Built in 1997, the 5318 square foot home has two stories, a dramatic entrance with arched front door, stone and hardwood floors, beautiful vaulted, triple-beamed timbers in the soaring great room, gourmet kitchen with granite and one of those charming built-in “mom” desks we used to see so much of. I love those desks, why are we not building those anymore? The kitchen has a breakfast room I would actually turn into a morning room because of the incredible wooded view and window seat, and there is a great breakfast bar. There is a family room off the great room with pocket door closure. The master is also wonderful, large (18 by 16) and the bath has a his and her suite with a room off the deal that could be an office, a nursery or a man-cave. While it’s not 2 baths to every bedroom Los Angeles-style, with a total of 5 bedrooms, 6 full baths and 1 half bath, nobody will ever be seeking a loo in this home. I like, too, that the master is down, along with another bedroom and study. Upstairs are three more bedrooms with en suite baths, plus a third living area/media room and exercise room. One other plus: there are quarters, complete with a kitchenette and full bath. And there is a three car garage.

The Marcus estate, next acre over, is at $5,400,000. Rest assured you will be buying on one of the the best streets in Dallas, but not getting the most expensive home on the block. Which will make the folks at Inwood Mortgage very happy indeed when you work with them on your jumbo mortgage.6 Nonesuch patio 6 Nonesuch yard
