Candy’s Touring This $5.295M Preston Hollow Spec Today. You’re Invited.

I’ve been sitting on one particular photo from 6730 Tulip Lane, New Leaf Custom Homes’ new spec house. Not because it isn’t good. Because it’s too good.

From the outside, Windmills Craftworks at Grandscape doesn’t particularly look like a brewery, although the enormous keyhole-shaped window does a nice job of displaying the beer-making operation inside.
