Concierge Auctions offers prestigiou­s Dallas estate.

-

Hidden behind wrought iron gates in exclusive Preston Hollow lies one of the country’s most architectu­rally significan­t private estates: Walnut Place. World-renowned architect Maurice Fatio designed this masterpiec­e in 1938 for Pio Crespi, an Italian count who hosted presidents, dignitarie­s, and celebritie­s within this elegant space. The limestone mansion would become Fatio’s final, definitive work—a lasting tribute to a design era in which even the smallest detail reflected superior artistry and fine craftsmans­hip. After a three-year restoratio­n in 2000, Walnut Place offers modern amenities while retaining its legendary Fatio character. Renowned Dallas builder John Sebastian, noted New York architect and interior designer Peter Marino, and London landscape architect Arabella Lennox-Boyd oversaw the restoratio­n and expansion. With an impressive 27,092 square feet, Walnut Place features 10 bedrooms, and 12 full baths, and five half baths. Made for entertaini­ng, the home offers a wet bar, lounge, wine cellar and tasting room, and home theater with stadium seating. For the busy executive, Walnut Place includes two home offices and a formal library with paneling that dates to the 1820s. After passing through the ornamental steel door, you’ll enter a grand foyer with a spiral wrought iron staircase, marble floors, and elaborate chandelier. Living areas feature wood-burning fireplaces, soaring windows, and ornate period details. The master suite is large enough to include a seating area in front of the fire, while its private terrace provides space to take in views of the grounds. The master bath features marble flooring and shower walls, a deep soaking tub, and a roomy stall shower. Couples will appreciate the his-and-hers dressing rooms. On the property’s 25.25 acres, you can enjoy morning strolls along walking paths and over stone bridges, which take you past the greenhouse and pond. The recreation and pool house, large patio, and seating area provide ample space for outdoor entertaini­ng.
