Uptown Dallas home boasts a $2 million dollar view — and it's worth every penny

Every neighborhood has "that house." You know, the one that neighbors all know about because they walk by it every day and stop to admire it. Well, for Uptown's State Thomas neighborhood, that house is the majestic property located at 2206 Boll St., which has officially hit the market for a whopping $2,250,000.

The first thing that sets this property apart from others in the neighborhood is its size. The three-story home boasts 4,731 square feet. There are two bedrooms and three bathrooms, with the entire third floor being the master suite — but this isn't your typical master suite.

It features high ceilings, a million dollar view from a private balcony, and a double-sided fire place that also services the master bath. His-and-her vanities ensure that no time is wasted getting ready for the many parties that you are sure to throw, given that the home is an entertaining gem.

For starters, the kitchen flows comfortably into first a dining room and then a living room. There are three living areas, so any occasion can be as grand or as intimate as you'd like. There's also an 8-inch copper-plated horseshoe bar with a Hoshizaki ice machine and a service window that is accessed by the second-floor pool deck. Speaking of the outdoor entertaining space, it features a stainless-steel vessel pool, a hot tub, and a swim spa that is ideal for water workouts.

Other features to note include a three-car garage, Viking appliances, and an overall unique design by the late architect and designer Mark Shekter. However, at the end of the day, what makes this a multimillion dollar listing are the views that are second to none in this neighborhood.

"Take a deep breath prior to opening the elevator door to the rooftop, because the view will literally take your breath away," says Allie Beth Allman & Associates agent Debra Williams, who is presenting the listing with fellow agent Gailya Silhan. "It's an unobstructed corner to corner look at the Dallas skyline that will be the talk of the town."

The stunning property at 2206 Boll St. is listed for $2,250,000.

Chip and Joanna Gaines find buyer for $2.7M Fixer Upper castle in Waco

Texas' king and queen of home renovations, Chip and Joanna Gaines, are done lording over their 136-year-old castle in Waco. The stars of TV’s Fixer Upper have found a buyer for Cottonland Castle, Mansion Global reported. The sale is pending.

The Gaineses listed the 6,176-square-foot castle, in Waco's historic and affluent Castle Heights neighborhood, at nearly $2.7 million. They bought the property in 2019, when it carried a $425,000 price tag.

The castle, with a sandstone and limestone facade, is modeled after a German castle along the Rhine River.

The duo spent several years restoring the castle to revive its original character. That work became the foundation for their six-part 2022 series Fixer Upper: Welcome Home – The Castle. They opened it to the public for guided tours and introduced Magnolia brand tie-ins, like a “Colors of the Castle” paint collection.

“People love things that are nostalgic. They love things that are antique-looking, and I want this place to feel like it did in 1915,” Joanna said during an episode of Fixer Upper. “Whether you walked into the space in 1915 or today, it has that same feeling of history and love and beauty and castle-ship.”

A year after the series aired, the castle failed to sell at auction, according to Mansion Global. It went on the market in June. Amanda Nesbitt of Magnolia Realty, the real estate brokerage founded by the Gaineses, has the listing.

The three-story castle offers “a seamless blend of historic grandeur and modern functionality,” according to the listing.

That grandeur includes millwork, antique tile floors, diamond-paned windows and seven ornate fireplaces. The four-bedroom property features three-and-a-half bathrooms, a formal dining room, a great room, a card room, a library and a conservatory.

All furnishings, accessories and decor “have been thoughtfully curated to complement the home’s design,” the listing says, and are included in the sale.

The castle has a rocky modern history.

Jack Schwan bought the property in 1969 for $50,000, according to the Waco Welcome Center.

Over the years, the Schwan family made many repairs and renovations. The family tried to sell the castle in 1982; they thought it was worth close to $1.25 million following the overhaul. In 1991, the property sold only after a drastic price cut.

“Over the next two decades, the home passed through various owners’ hands and fell into disrepair. Many owners found the castle too large and in need of too much maintenance to be a financially feasible home,” according to the Waco Welcome Center.

The castle sold again in 2014, and a group led by Oxford scholar Dirk Obbink tackled renovation work. The Gaineses bought it five years later, after it had been neglected and abandoned.
