Fun on the Fourth

Dave Perry-Miller & Associates present the Park Cities 4th of July Parade

The Park Cities Fourth of July Parade is a popular event for residents of Highland Park, University Park and surrounding areas. It’s so popular, in fact, that the event’s sponsor, Rotary Club of Park Cities, expects the event to draw more than 13,000 people.

Everyone’s invited to participate in the parade on bike, motorcycle, go-cart or float. Vehicles queue up along Euclid Avenue near Highland Park’s Town Hall, and the parade culminates in a festival at Goar Park, which is located next to University Park’s City Hall.

Dave Perry-Miller & Associates will be at the festival handing out ice-cold lemonade. One of the firm’s affiliates, The Rhodes Group, will host watermelon-eating contests, so come hungry. The party at Goar Park includes food, drink, music, entertainment and plenty of family fun.

There are myriad stunning homes within walking distance of the parade route, and Dave Perry-Miller represents several that shouldn’t be missed. Here are a few of our favorites:

3708 Harvard Ave. is located across from Dyckman Park. This spacious 7,375-square-foot traditional home features five bedrooms, eight baths, gourmet kitchen, wine cellar, screened rear loggia with fireplace and kitchen, master bedroom with outdoor balcony, three home office areas, music room, and nearly any amenity today’s family could want.

Three blocks east of the Beverly-Lakeside intersection is 3825 Stratford Ave., a 7,389-square-foot Roman villa with an open floor plan that overlooks landscaped verandas. Other amenities include gourmet chef’s kitchen, coffee bar, paneled library, wine room and an elevator.

Just one block northeast of Goar Park is 6810 Turtle Creek Blvd., an ultra-spacious traditional home with landscaped grounds, all-white gourmet kitchen, home offices, loggia with outdoor kitchen and abundant natural light.

Come on out to the Park Cities area on July 4, and join your neighbors in celebrating America’s independence. Parade participants line up at 7:30 am; bicycle judging starts at 8. The official parade start time is 9 am, culminating in the free family festival in Goar Park at 9:30. Complete details are available here.

A sprawling, 13-acre waterfront estate about two hours south of Dallas is hitting the auction block. Bidding on the Oxbow Overlook estate, just outside the Central Texas town of Belton, is scheduled to start February 13 on the Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions website.

The sale process will conclude February 28 when the estate is featured at ModaMiami, a luxury event hosted by South Florida’s Biltmore Miami-Coral Gables.

The property, at 8536 Armstrong Rd., is co-listed at $5.95 million by Debbie Stevenson of Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty. Bidding will start at $2 million to $2.5 million.

“This incomparable offering perfectly captures the essence of refined Hill Country living,” Stevenson says. “From its serene creekside setting and acres of privacy to its remarkable architectural details, Oxbow Overlook delivers a level of craftsmanship and lifestyle that is rarely available.”

Built in 2001 of native limestone and stone, the French Provincial-inspired main house boasts a 24-foot entry wall made of iron and glass, and a grand foyer crowned by a 31-foot copper dome ceiling. The ceiling hovers above an oak staircase with copper accents.

Oxbow Overlook is close to Belton Lake, Stillhouse Hollow Lake, Salado, and Temple.

“Designed to embrace its natural surroundings, creekside walls, and outdoor living spaces conform to the bluff’s natural curve, offering spectacular views across the property and showcasing thoughtful conveniences at every turn,” Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions says.
