Times change.  People change.  Things change.  Two amazing homes from different eras located in prestigious Highland Park, Texas show that while times may change, luxury living is always in style. The homes are equally exquisite, in the $8,000,000-plus price range, and located just over a mile away from each other.  What they offer is similar, yet different.

The first is a Colonial Revival originally built in 1937 that has been meticulously restored.  Although updated, the home retains its pre-war charm with elegant chandeliers, rich wood paneling and a beamed cathedral ceiling in the kitchen, along with many other features.  The stately columns welcome you home to warmth and luxury. The property also includes a pool house, guest house and greenhouse.

This exceptional custom home, built in 2001, also invites you in through a columned exterior, but the luxury world you enter is quite different.  While taking some cues from an earlier design period (columns, intricate fireplace mantels and moldings) this home has a more modern flair.  In place of the beamed ceiling kitchen is a more contemporary design with stainless steel appliances.  A wine room and game room can be found in the basement.

Both of these beautiful residences listed by Dave Perry-Miller & Associates are treasures of their (or any) time period.
