Father buys Greek Revival-style Mansion for 16 year old daughter - Million Dollar Homes and Estates

Belle Nora, the famous 82-year-old white-brick Greek Revival-style mansion at the edge of White Rock Lake, in Eastern Dallas, Texas, has a new owner.  

History of Belle Nora

The seller, Dr. Jesus S. Guevara, is a renowned Mexico City surgeon. He bought the estate sight unseen in the mid 1980s for his wife, Joan Simpson, who wanted a home close to her family in Dallas.   

After his wife's death in 2001, Dr. Guevara began spending most of his time in other homes. So in 2004, Fr. Guevara put Bella Nora mansion on the real estate market for $4.4 million. 

New Buyer for Belle Nora

The new buyer  was searching for a gift for his 16 year old daughter, who had tragically lost her mother when she was just 5 months old. 

Her buyer would drive his daughter  past the 82 year old, 6,000-square-foot Greek revival-style mansion, known as Belle Nora, and every time she passed the house, she would tell her Daddy that he should buy it for her.  She was joking around, but evidently, she was planting a seed in her father's head because she received the most extravagant sweet 16 birthday present that I've ever heard of.
