There is no such home like the one at 4 Nonesuch Road<\/a> in Dallas\u2019 Lakewood<\/a> neighborhood.<\/p>\n

The estate tied to an early Neiman Marcus<\/a> leader hit the market in late August and is for sale for the first time in nearly 30 years. <\/p>\n

The asking price: $10.5 million. It was the fifth most expensive home listed in Texas last month, according to the Houston Association of Realtors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have no comparable for it. We didn\u2019t know how to price it,\u201d said historic home specialist and listing agent Pete Livingston<\/a> with Allie Beth Allman & Associates. \u201cWhenever it sells, it\u2019ll be the highest sale in Lakewood history.\u201d<\/p>\n

The nearly 6,500-square-foot home sits on some three acres. It has five bedrooms, five bathrooms and two half-baths. The country manor-style home has three living and dining areas. The home was built for Robert Allen Ross \u2014 the money man for the iconic Dallas-based department store in its early days. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a big ol\u2019 long house by today\u2019s standards,\u201d Livingston said. \u201cIt\u2019s full of light. It\u2019s got light coming from all directions. … That\u2019s how they used to do it back in the day. It\u2019s one room deep.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Marcus family had owned that land since 1923. By 1940, only four homes sat on 23 acres that would later be swallowed by the Lakewood neighborhood. <\/p>\n

Ross\u2019 home sat between the homes of Neiman Marcus founder Herbert Marcus<\/a> and president Stanley Marcus<\/a>. Herbert built his Tudor-style home around the corner in 1927. Stanley would follow in 1937 with his modern estate, which is a protected Dallas landmark.<\/p>\n

It was Stanley who named the street Nonesuch Road because the city had such a hard time building the road to his home. <\/p>\n

Only three families have lived in the property in the past 85 years. The Rosses owned the home until 1965. Dr. Milton Davis and his relatives called 4 Nonesuch Road home until the late 1990s. <\/p>\n

The current owners, John and Nancy Kirchhofer, have lived in the home since 1997, according to county records.<\/p>\n

They completed a full seven-figure mechanical and cosmetic restoration shortly after purchasing the home. The additions include a detached all-brick oversized garage with a one-bedroom apartment above it. <\/p>\n

The Kirchhofers raised four kids at the home, but in recent years, they\u2019ve spent less time in Lakewood in favor of their other properties, Livingston said.<\/p>\n

Ross\u2019 former estate is the third-largest in the Lakewood area. The home doesn\u2019t have the saunas, deep pools or other features one comes to expect with new construction in North Texas. <\/p>\n

The draw is the property\u2019s natural beauty.<\/p>\n

The lot is heavily wooded and private. Large oaks, cottonwoods and magnolias \u2014 some hitting 60 feet tall \u2014 cover the landscape. Light floods through all sides of the three-story home, and you\u2019ll find yourself in the large sunroom or on the sundeck often. Its big, bright rooms are made for large families.<\/p>\n

The property features 35 feet of elevation from the road, and at its low point, you\u2019ll find a spring-fed pond with fish and turtles that you could enlarge if you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just flipping beautiful,\u201d Livingston said. \u201cIn Lakewood, it\u2019s unique. There are only a handful of estates, so it is one of a kind.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There is no such home like the one at 4 Nonesuch Road in Dallas\u2019 Lakewood neighborhood.
