A Replica Estate of 'The Hermitage' - President Andrew Jackson's Residence - in Arlington, Texas

Travel down west Arkansas in south Arlington near Veterans Park and your eyes will definitely catch this colonial masterpiece.  Located inside the gates of 'The Estates on Rush Creek', this 8,710 sq. foot home was built by prominent Arlington doctors Thad and Alicia Smotherman.  They built the home as a historic replica of 'The Hermitage', President Andrew Jackson's private residence in Tennessee where the Jacksons' resided in the early 1800's.  The actual 'Hermitage' residence in Tennessee is available for tours, but if you live in north Texas, might as well take a trip over to Arkansas Lane to see this beauty.

Thad and Alicia were the doctors who founded 'The Neighborhood Doctor', a medical clinic with two locations in Arlington.  They also run the Arlington Medical Institute training and teaching new doctors.  The Smothermans have benefited several charities throughout the years and even host elaborate home parties at their own Hermitage.  The Smothermans will always have their estate decorated for the holiday or special occasion at hand providing a great glimpse for onlookers.  The estate is located at 2300 Panorama Court and appraised at well over 7 digits.
