Dallas' 'Mount Vernon' is a $29.5 Million Replica of George Washington's Estate (House of the Day)
This home is the winner of last week's #housepornthurs, a weekly Twitter conversation hosted by @aolrealestate in partnership with Curbed.com. (See Curbed's #housepornthurs feature here.) Tweet listings to AOL Real Estate with the hashtag #housepornthurs every Thursday for a chance to have one of your submissions featured as a House of the Day the following week.
A Dallas landmark, this sprawling mansion was built by oil baron H.L. Hunt in 1929 and was designed to be a replica of George Washington's Mount Vernon estate in .
Listed for $29.5 million (remember, you're paying for a landmark here), the Georgian Colonial commands 10 acres, has a two-story guesthouse and overlooks a lake. As if it weren't big enough to begin with, the home was expanded in 2002 and now stretches 10,511 square feet.
While the house itself may closely resemble the home of our first president, it has a raft of ultra-lavish amenities that reach a level of luxury ol' George could never have possibly imagined. They include a pool house, a four-lane bowling alley, lighted tennis courts, a 16-car garage and auto facility, a pool, putting greens and a gazebo.
