Quite a Way to Make an Entrance - Two Estates in Colleyville, Texas

Here's two estates along Westcoat Drive in Colleyville, Texas that both have some pretty grandiose entrances.  First, check out the home on the left, an 8,240 sq. foot Colonial estate appraised at $1.2 million in 2010.  The double gated entry to the estate encompasses a row of uniquely trimmed pushes and landscaping topped off with a fountain at the farther end.  The driveways then open up to a large front motor court.  I can only imagine the picturesque views!  And then there is the home on the right, a 7,410 sq. foot French mansion appraised at $2.1 million also in 2010.  The circle gated entrance with turret gate house is simply a premonition to the elegance that can be found within the gates of the estate.  Oh, how I long to come home in such a manner!  Maybe someday, I will!  What do you think of these entrances?
