4 Nonesuch Road Dallas, TX 75214

4 Nonesuch Road has all to do with the founders of Iconic Neiman Marcus; it is a true Lakewood landmark legacy estate, and is available for the first time in almost 30 years. Originally, the Robert A. Ross estate was situated between the estates of Neiman Marcus founder Herbert Marcus and the President of Neiman Marcus, Stanley Marcus. Robert A. Ross was the money man of Neiman's. He was the store manager, VP, board member, and, in today's terms, the CFO. Stanley Marcus named the street Nonesuch Road because the city of Dallas had such a hard time building a road to his estate when building his Landmark, modern home in 1937. The Marcus family had owned the land since 1923, and in 1940, there were only 4 houses on 23 acres that were eventually included and surrounded by the Lakewood neighborhood. The historic Marcus estate area is the only exclusive estate area in Lakewood, and 4 Nonesuch is the third largest estate in Lakewood. The 2.86-acre site is beautifully terraced with 35 feet of elevation from Nonesuch Road to the apparent spring-fed pond at the low point. The site is heavily wooded, private, totally quiet, and tucked away. There are dozens of large trees, including Oaks, Cottonwoods, and Magnolias, with heights up to 60 feet.
This expansive Old World country manor house exudes light from all sides into all of the living spaces, on all three stories. The pictures speak for themselves; all rooms are big and bright, exuding quality and architectural thought. The house offers 6 bedrooms, or 5 with an office, and 5 & 2 half baths, along with three expansive living areas and three dining areas. The design and layout are suited for large families. Upon purchase in 1997, the current owner completed a full mechanical and cosmetic restoration as well as building a new detached all-brick, oversized garage complete with a full 1-bedroom apt. above. This amazing offering is surely the grandest visible Lakewood estate. Renovate or build on this 1-of-a-kind site!
