Vasari Is the Historic Preservation Game Changer We’ve Been Waiting For
Historic preservation is undervalued in Dallas in general and the Park Cities in particular. Highland Park and University Park have seen the loss of many important historic homes. Until now, no one has done much more than complain on social media. I’m happy to report a game changer has entered the picture.

Hot Property: A 1960s Mid-Century Modern in North Dallas
Not every home needs an open floor plan to feel expansive. At 4930 Mangold Circle, a winding layout reveals one distinctive space after another, rather than putting everything on display at once.

Inside, unique architectural forms, natural materials, and a statement shade of blue give the home a personality all its own.
