9806 Inwood Road – Dallas
One of the true grand estate properties in Dallas, this impressive residence
dubbed “Dan Bois Crete,” is set on 5.3 acres just minutes from the Dallas North Tollway and downtown Dallas. Renovated in 2008 under the guidance of Larry Boerder Architects, the house is set well back from the street and is guarded by impressive entry gates and mature landscaping that maintains the privacy for the property. The front motor court arrival is equally as impressive with detailed paving, boxwood parterres, cut stone fountains, balustrade and fire bowls that frame the dramatic steps up the front entry. The rear of the property features a formal garden off the master bedroom and a truly spectacular and luxury pool area. See more photos of this beautiful property on
