A big city with many kinds of homes
Dallas is big, and the housing changes a lot from one part of town to the next. Preston Hollow has larger homes on bigger lots, some decades old and some rebuilt recently. Prestonwood has many homes from the 1970s and 1980s. Mixed in across the city you'll find small postwar houses, townhomes and newer infill.
There's no such thing as a standard Dallas kitchen. A 1970s house might have a dark, closed-off kitchen with a dropped ceiling. A bigger home might have original custom cabinets that are well built but heavy in style. A newer infill house may only need finishes that suit the people living there.
East of downtown and out toward Lake Highlands, mid-century homes are common. Rooms tend to be smaller, and past updates are sometimes stacked on top of each other. We'd want to see any of these houses in person before planning.
Baths vary just as much. An older ranch may have a small hall bath with original tile and a tub and shower combo. A home from the 80s or 90s might have a big primary bath with a garden tub and a dated shower. Larger custom homes can have baths with detailing worth preserving.
