The gilded Highland Park mansion that hit the market earlier this year for a sky-high $32.5 million has finally changed hands, vaulting to the top of Texas residential sales for 2025 so far. The nearly 19,000-square-foot estate comes with a 24-karat gold-leaf foyer dome, imported limestone floors and more than an acre of manicured, formal grounds.

Public records show seller Guinn Crousen transferred the home at 4000 Euclid Avenue in early December. The buyer is listed as a trust, with buyer's agent Genna Skolnik of Compass named as the sole trustee, according to The Real Deal. That report notes the final sales price is not yet publicly available, even as the deal caps a year in which Dallas-area listings dominated Texas' ultra-luxury market.

The house first hit the market in February with a $32.5 million asking price. As listed with Briggs Freeman Sothebys, the property shows six bedrooms, 13 bathrooms and about 18,989 square feet of living space on just over an acre. That initial list price works out to roughly $1,700 per square foot based on the listing details.

Architectural Details And Grounds

The Robbie Fusch-designed home was completed in 2015 and is finished with materials sourced from Europe and beyond, including limestone floors reclaimed from French chateaus, corniced fireplaces and bronze hardware imported from France, according to The Dallas Morning News. The grand foyer is capped by a basilica-style dome covered in 24-karat gold leaf, while the landscaped courtyard includes a fish-pond fountain, a swimming pool, an outdoor kitchen and a loggia set up for entertaining.

How It Stacks Up In Texas

Industry figures compiled by the Houston Association of Realtors and reported by The Real Deal put the Euclid Avenue transfer at the top of the state's residential sales so far this year. A handful of public listings are still asking more, including a $64 million Crespi Estate in Dallas, a $60 million Lodge at Hunters Creek in Houston and a $35 million University Park mansion, but none of those properties has recorded a sale in 2025. The result reinforces Dallas-Fort Worth's lead in the state's highest-end housing market.

Price Reporting And Privacy

Multiple MLS feeds and real estate portals list the property as sold in early December, with Zillow showing the sale recorded on Dec. 1, 2025 and Homes.com listing the same date. The final sales price, however, has not been publicly posted. Texas' public-records environment and reporting practices can make precise transaction figures harder to verify, as jurisdictional rules and exemptions affect what information is released, according to the Reporters Committee open government guide. As a result, brokers, title companies and MLS feeds are often the first places journalists and analysts turn for closed-deal details in the state.

Market Takeaway

Privacy structures such as trusts and buyer agents serving as trustees are common in ultra-luxury deals and appear again in this transaction, a pattern that keeps buyer names off the most easily searchable public records. Local coverage of the listing and of the broader luxury market this year has highlighted Dallas' outsized share of top-tier inventory, according to reporting in the Dallas Business Journal.

With the deed filed and the buyer listed as a trust, the exact number on the check may never be fully public, but the transfer firmly cements Highland Park as ground zero for Texas' ultra-luxury home market heading into next year. Observers say the move will keep a close spotlight on other headline-grabbing listings that remain unsold.
