Located in Dallas’s Highland Park neighborhood, this home on Armstrong Parkway is a standout example of how traditional architecture can work with modern features. Built by Greg Alford of Alford Homes, this Santa Barbara-style property, published in Building Savvy magazine, takes inspiration from Spanish Mission design while incorporating elements that fit today’s luxury living.  

Custom windows from RAM play an important role in the look and feel of this home. Large picture windows let in plenty of natural light and frame views of the landscaped corner lot, keeping the clean, balanced lines that are a hallmark of Spanish Mission style. Unique specialty windows add personality, drawing attention to details that make this home unique.  

Casement windows add another layer of practicality and style. These operable windows bring in fresh air and work seamlessly with the home’s stucco exterior and arched doorways. They’re as functional as they are visually appealing, fitting into spaces like the kitchen, bedrooms, and living areas.  

One of the home’s standout features is the family room, where floor-to-ceiling doors open fully to a large covered patio. With retractable screens, the patio becomes an extension of the living space, making it a great spot for relaxing or hosting friends. A fireplace and outdoor dining area add to its appeal, while the energy-efficient windows throughout the home help keep it comfortable year-round.  

Every part of this home reflects careful planning and craftsmanship, from the large prep kitchen with extra storage space to the luxurious master suite with spacious closets. Even the home's office is a focal point from both exterior and interior perspectives as the specialty and picture windows draw you in with their modern and inviting design.
