About the host
Hosted by Leah
We were both born and raised only a few minutes from this home so this area will always be "home" to us. Both of our families still live nearby and we use this as a second home when we are in town. We are thrilled to allow guests to stay here when we are not here.
As a “nomadic” military family, we have become especially good at exploring new surroundings and cities. We have moved 10 times in 14 years, each time to a new state, region or country. We love to travel and try new things. Our friends and family know us as being experts at seeking out the most unique spots in any city we live or adventure to. We can always find the best restaurants and create most memorable experiences.
Preston is the “historian”, putting together great explanations of the cultural and historic sites in any city. He is also a fantastic restaurant scout - always finding the coolest local eateries with the most creative menus. Leah has an eye for design and an appreciation for beautiful things. She is quick to spot things that are truly unique and is all about “feel good” aesthetics that cement special memories.

Why they chose this property
Our home Is located in a quiet and friendly cul-de-sac directly across the street from an AWESOME park and an elementary school. This neighborhood is ideal for families. People are often out walking their dogs and playing at the park.
Our homes faces two public tennis/pickle-ball courts, basketball courts, walking trails, a baseball field, multiple play grounds and plenty of open space for picnics and family activities. The setting is ideal and is a big part of why we chose this home.
The location is ultra convenient with fantastic retail and restaurants less than 5 minutes away. Access to Highway 75 is a breeze, making getting anywhere in the Dallas metroplex area super easy.

What makes this property unique
The Steamer gets its name from the awesome vintage sign hanging in the living room. We found it in an old antique shop in south Texas. The idea of vintage world travel by steamship was the jumping point for all our design choices in the home. We have been fortunate to have lived and traveled all over the world with Preston’s career and have always loved homes that feel collected and timeless. The Steamer Is just that!
Start your mornings slow in the solarium with a cup of coffee. Enjoy a round of tennis or pickleball at the courts across the street or take a leisurely walk along Mustang Trail which starts just out our front door. Cook a delicious home-cooked meal In the fully appointed kitchen before cozying up in the living room for an evening of board games, movies & laughs.
"The Steamer" will take your family somewhere special yet familiar & cozy. We hope you feel right at home!
