THE HOME If these walls could talk! Stories abound around the owners’ history, architecture and the many famed Hollywood visitors to this historic home. Sitting on 100 acres with 1/2 mile of frontage on Highway 27, this historically significant home designed by the renowned architect Charles Dilbeck is listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior. The home will soon be offered for sale in 2020. Dilbeck is responsible for much of Dallas’ city parks and East Dallas character. This home is one of his most impressive designs. Furnished in entirety by Bullocks on Wilshire in Los Angeles, much of the original furnishings and charm remain intact. Commissioned 1947 for Howard M. Naylor, the home has been described as a “masterpiece” by experts. Much of the home has been retained in its original condition and historical preservationists have all documentation necessary to restore the home to its original beauty. Contents include lighting and hardware pieces by Erich Riesel, original furnishings by Johan Tapp and several other original features. The architecture boasts significant Dilbeck design elements including multiple prominent chimneys, asymmetrical massing, dovecotes and brick corbelling. The romantic and whimsical design includes a breezeway, an enclosed patio with hand-painted concrete tiles, double master bedrooms and oversized fireplaces in the downstairs living and library rooms. The breakfast nook overlooks the limestone rock patio where you will find design elements repeated through the exterior of the home. The ranch is located across from the Kerrville airport and neighbors to the James Avery offices and manufacturing plant with plenty of additional surrounding commercial properties available. Commercial and tax credit opportunities are available. Partially updated with 4 bedrooms and 6.5 baths, a vintage cabana, Lord and Burnham Greenhouse, an Olympic sized pool, barn, pump house, wetlands and a pond stocked with bass. Axis and Whitetail deer, a single bull and many Texas critters call this place home. New central air and heat in 2005 and a new roof planned for November 2019. Bring your designer clients and history buffs for a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Texas history. 4 BEDROOMS 6 . 5 BAT H R O OM S 7, 0 0 0 S Q F T 100 ACRES PRICE UPON REQUEST H O WA R D M N AY L O R R A N C H .
