When you feature luxurious multi-million-dollar homes each week over the course of several years, once in a while, they come back on the market. Rarely, but it happens, and this is one such instance. This Italian Renaissance Revival has only had three owners, and it’s a perfect home in a perfect location.
The one-of-a-kind property at 3821 Beverly Dr. was listed only a few days ago by Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s Realtor Caroline Summers for $10.95 million, and it’s worth every penny.
This stunning property has long been considered one of the loveliest homes in Dallas. Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s Realtor Ralph Randall sold the land on Beverly Drive to Lyn and John Muse in 1990. They hired architect Larry E. Boerder to create this Italian Renaissance Revival masterpiece.
The 10,057-square-foot home was completed two years later with seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, two powder baths, and a backyard that makes you feel as if you are in the Tuscan countryside.
After the Muse family left for their Preston Road estate, Trevor Fetter, former CEO of Tenent Healthcare, purchased the property in 2005. Candy wrote a post about it when they put it up for sale in 2013. It was beautiful then, decorated in a truly traditional style, and perfect for the early part of the decade.

The present owners hired the hotter-than-hot design team at Ten Plus Three to transform the interiors of this Italian Renaissance Revival. Their fresh, elegant, and unique design style is absolutely on the mark for a sophisticated buyer. The kitchen has had a complete makeover, and the family room has a dramatic update.

“This house is perfect for someone moving to town who does not have the time to wait for an interior designer,” Summers said.
That’s right, this is a turnkey property. The sellers are offering this magnificent home, completely furnished. This may be the deal of the century!
“It’s timeless Highland Park estate,” Summers said. “The house stands out against all the transitional product on the market because it manages to blend traditional and modern styles so successfully.”
This Italian Renaissance Revival also has the big three. Stately architecture, hot interior design, and location — it’s three houses away from the Dallas Country Club. We’ll see how fast this Italian Renaissance Revival gets snapped up! What’s your bet?
