Explore the Best El Parado Homes for Sale in Old Preston Hollow Neighborhood
Right in the middle of original Preston Hollow is El Parado, a neighborhood of early estate homes. Preston Downs is on the south and Preston Elms is on the north. The southern boundary of El Parado is Park Lane, the eastern boundary is Preston Road, Douglas defines the western boundary and Falls Road is the northern boundary.
Hugh Windsor plotted this land in 1925 with Desco and Watson created as the east-west streets between Preston and Douglas. He then sold the land in large tracts though the 1930s. Gradually, individual acres of land were carved away from the original estates such as Lupshire and the Desco Estate. But these original estate homes still remain on the two acres or more. New homes have been built in the last decade showing a progression of architectural style and taste in this quiet neighborhood of impressive homes. The look and feel of the neighborhood, however, is still rooted in the original Preston Hollow estate homes that remain standing. Wide verandas, sweeping driveways and deep setbacks add to the mystique of these early 20th century mansions. Important families continue to call this neighborhood their home and new families are continually drawn to this delightful neighborhood.

Original Preston Hollow Estate – Sold by Douglas Newby
When we think about the graciousness of Preston Hollow, we picture an original estate home built on many acres in the 1930s. This Desco Estate quickly became a landmark in El Parado, the earliest addition of Preston Hollow. This 1936 neoclassical estate home, perfectly placed on its present two acres with mature trees arching over its graceful and stately architecture, remains a Preston Hollow landmark.
You will enjoy the expansive veranda before you proceed through the deep arched entrance to the formal hall. From here you will find the large, classically proportioned spaces of the living room, dining room, butler’s pantry, library, and sunroom that you would anticipate in a historic home. Sympathetically added is a large family room, an attached cabana and a separate guest house. On the second floor you will find four bedrooms, including an elaborate master bedroom suite.

Preston Hollow Homeowners Appreciate Douglas Newby
Dear Allen:
You were kind enough to take out time to give me a thorough assessment of using Doug Newby as a realtor. After your kind words we engaged Douglas to sell our home.
Dealing with Douglas in the selling of our home was one of the most positive business experiences that my wife and I have had. He was absolutely the right person to sell our home. He represented our every interest and was a pleasure to deal with. Douglas is the perfect salesman of unique properties that are architecturally and/or historically significant.
Thank you again for helping lead us to the perfect professional to sell our home. We closed on that sale two weeks ago receiving our full asking price.
Sincerely,
George Watson
Preston Hollow Homeowner
I appreciate you and your friendship, dear friend.
