Pink Mary Kay Mansion Tops Zillow’s List of 10 Most-Viewed Homes

Mary Kay Mansion Pool

Dallas wins again! I love that the tastefully pink mansion formerly owned by Mary Kay Ash was the most-viewed property on Zillow in 2012. The mansion, which is at 8915 Douglas Ave., is priced at almost $2.8 million.

Live Life Through (Cheaper) Rose Colored Glasses: Pink Mary Kay Mansion Reduced to $2,999,999

In the words of Allie Beth Allman agent dynamo Karen Luter, this is not just the deal of the century, but a STEAL:

“Yep, $2,999,999. That puts it at the bottom of price per square foot, $247 to be precise for this iconic home, rich in history.”

The home was listed at $3,300,000. You get oh so much: 12,000 square feet. Built in 1984, but remodeled in 2000. Located in coveted Old Preston Hollow, on over one acre of manicured lawns with fountains, pools, koi ponds, arboretum like gardens, there is Brazilian teakwood flooring, grand sweeping staircases (two or three), statues, arcades of Corinthian columns, wine cellar, walls of beveled glass windows, hand painted murals, original pink quartz-marble hardware, indescribe-able mill work and a pink quartz toilet. Er, commode. I think that lime green carpet on the stairs is the original that hosted many a top producer party. The kitchen has the original white Corian counters and I believe that may even be Mary Kay’s own breakfast table under the massive chandelier. The current owner’s furniture tastes are a bit more “antique” — when I first saw the home years ago, right after Mary Kay had moved out, it held no oriental rugs. Formerly listed with Myla Patton of Patton International Real Estate for $5.7 in 2007, then listed with Linda Jordan Hobbs over at Ebby for $4,995,000, which is about what DCAD thinks give or take $400K. Myla was again considered for the listing.

The Mary Kay House is in MLS! Feast Your Eyes On the “Pinkest” House in Dallas!

Photos by Shoot2Sell

As I told you two weeks ago, the Mary Kay home is on the market and listed with precious Karen Luter of Allie Beth Allman. Fox 4 is doing a story on it this Wednesday, and I’ve even had calla about it from Japan. Of course, it is no longer owned by the late Mary Kay Ash and in fact, the blonde cosmetics tycoon had moved out of the house during her later years and back into her home at 7246 Lupton, pictured below. Meantime, guess who jazzed up the interiors on Douglas? None other than designer-with-a-real-estate-license Mark Godson, who has staged the Palomar Residences as well as a new listing with Debbie Ingram you shall soon be drooling over. I still cannot believe the listing price is only $3.3 for this pink palace. Swear it should be the home of the Mayor of Dallas — as long as he pays the mortage! By the way: I am having lunch with the descendants of the home’s architect, Fred Wynn, tomorrow. They tell me the house was built as a spec house. Get ready for more delicious details on Valentines Day!
