    Live like Dallas' leading entertaining expert in this Highland Park abode

    Diana Oates

    Southern. Charming. Sophisticated. Beautiful. These words can be used to describe both Kimberly Schlegel Whitman and her chic Highland Park pad at 4465 Rheims Place, which just hit the market.

    Whitman, author of several entertaining books and editor-at-large for Southern Living, recruited her real estate maven sister, Kari Schlegel Kloewer, to list the property, which is nestled on one of Highland Park’s most beautiful streets. Built in 1952, this 7,215-square-foot house has five bedrooms, seven baths and a four-car garage, and it sits on a half-acre of Dallas’ most sought-after land. For $5.2 million, this abode, styled by one of the South’s most stylish women, can be yours.

    Although it’s perfect for entertaining, the home also suits a growing family. The house was a true labor of love, and Whitman knew exactly whom to call to turn her dreams for the home into a reality.

    “We have done kids parties, swim parties, cocktail parties and formal dinners, and the home works so well for everything,” says owner Kimberly Schlegel Whitman.

    “Jan Showers helped us with the house,” Whitman says. “She is so great to work with and is a dear friend. We were about to become parents when we bought the house, so we really designed it with our small and growing family in mind.”

    Although the rooms have distinctive personalities, they all reflect Whitman’s signature style. No detail was overlooked, from a zebra-skin rug in the library to cheery tangerine in the formal living room.

    Which room is her favorite? “We love the library,” Whitman says. “That is where we put our Christmas tree, and we have little dance parties with the kids.”

    The kitchen was recently renovated, while Whitman was pregnant with her daughter and in a “nesting” phase. Kloewer says the kitchen has been a hit with VIP customers who got a sneak peek before the home hit the market.

    “The kitchen is just gorgeous and has one of the largest islands I have ever seen,” Kloewer says. “One person who came to look at the house took one look and said that it should be referred to as a continent instead of an island.”

    The kitchen opens to a family room, so loved ones can hang out nearby while the cook prepares meals. All five bedrooms are located upstairs, and they all boast hardwoods, en suite bathrooms and large walk-in closets. Because the home is family-friendly, it also has a large, laid-back playroom for the kids.

    And that’s just the inside. If you close your eyes, you can envision Whitman entertaining in that dreamy backyard on one of Dallas’ sizzling summer nights. She, no doubt, is carrying a tray of mint juleps as she heads over to the outdoor sitting area, where the adults are laughing and watching their kids splash merrily in the large saltwater pool.

    “The back of the house is all windows and French doors that overlook the covered terrace and pool, so it has a great flow,” Whitman says. “We have done kids parties, swim parties, cocktail parties and formal dinners, and it works so well for everything.”

    Dallas' Longhorn Ballroom unveils new renovated coworking studio space

    Dallas' famed Longhorn Ballroom music venue has unveiled a newly renovated multi-use building — located across the courtyard from the Ballroom at 200 Corinth St. — that's open for creative types in the fields of entertainment, restaurant, and the arts.

    The Longhorn Ballroom was built in 1950 for country music legend Bob Wills and this Texas Playboys and was originally named Bob Wills’ Ranch House. It was managed for a time by Jack Ruby, then Dewey Groom who renamed it the Longhorn Ballroom and built it into one of the greatest venues of its day, hosting Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, Charley Pride, Pasty Cline, B.B. King, Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, James Brown, Al Green, Johnny Rodriguez, Freddy Fender and Selena.

    This newly renovated building was originally constructed in 1950 as part of the Ranch House, where it served as a motel for touring musicians and according to a release, is rumored to have sheltered Wills' horse "Punkin."

    The two-story 26,000-square-foot building offers co-working spaces for entertainment professionals, attorneys, and managers. There are five 1-2 person offices available, along with a limited number of residential live-work studios for artists. There are also several small restaurant spaces available for "culinary creatives."

    The largest available area — a former recording studio — could be transformed into a space for audio, film, or post-production work.

    There is also a common area and kitchen, plus plentiful parking. Internet and utilities are included. Rates depend on space rented.

    "As an entertainment attorney, there’s no better place for my practice than the Oficina co-work space at the Longhorn," says Decker Sachse, a current tenant. "It’s a great location with easy access and my clients love the vibe."

    In the fall, the Longhorn will complete its third and final phase with the opening of a 6,500-capacity outdoor amphitheater along the banks of the original Trinity River. Called The Longhorn Backyard Amphitheater, it will host a series of soft opening shows this fall, starting with Randy Rogers on September 20. A grand opening with a full calendar of events will commence in the spring of 2026, providing the city with a state-of-the-art outdoor venue one mile south of downtown Dallas.
