As the year comes to a close, Guinn and Betsy Crousen’s Highland Park mansion asking $32.5 million is the sale to beat.
Guinn Crousen, president of Arlington-based aerospace manufacturing company Progressive Incorporated, sold his home at 4000 Euclid Avenue in Dallas on Wednesday, according to public records. The buyer is a trust, and the only listed trustee is the buyer’s agent, Genna Skolnik of Compass Real Estate.
The final sale price is unavailable, but the Highland Park home is the most expensive residential sale in Texas this year, based on information compiled by the Houston Association of Realtors.
Crousen listed the home in February, easily taking the first spot on the list of the most expensive luxury homes for sale in Texas, compiled by HAR from the state’s foremost Multiple Listing Services.
Since then, the home has only been outstripped in asking price by the $64 million Crespi Estate in Dallas; the $60 million Lodge at Hunters Creek in Houston; and a University Park mansion formerly owned by the late Fortress Investment Group CEO Joshua Pack, asking $35 million. None has sold yet.
Sitting on more than an acre, the six-bedroom, 13-bathroom Euclid Avenue home boasts one of the largest lots in Highland Park, according to listing agent Jason Garcia of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Real Estate.
Built in 2015 by architect Robbie Fusch, the traditionalist manor imported its limestone floors, corniced fireplace and bronze hardware from France. A basilica-style dome, gilt in 24-carat gold leaf, caps the grand foyer. Roman pillars support an arcade belting the courtyard, which includes a fish pond fountain, a swimming pool, an outdoor kitchen and a loggia. With almost 19,000 square feet, the asking price amounts to about $1,700 per square foot.
Fusch also designed the most expensive listing of 2024, a 17,700-square-foot mansion on Strait Lane modeled after the White House for investor Toby Neugebauer. The “White House of Dallas” left the market this summer, apparently unpurchased, according to Dallas County records.
Out of the state’s major metros, the only sale that might rival the mansion at 4000 Euclid Avenue is a waterfront compound on Westlake Drive that recently sold with an undisclosed asking price somewhere above $20 million.
