Older homes with modern renovations for less than $300,000
The residential area of Dallondale began to flourish around the mid-20th century, and most of the original houses still stand today, often having undergone many renovations. Architectural styles skew toward classic vernacular styles, especially for the South, including mixed-material ranch homes, brick Colonial Revivals and painted bungalows complete with decorated porches. Even the more contemporary properties align with these styles but with characteristic twists. A ranch may have an additional dormer window and be equipped with charming cobblestone exterior sections, and modern bungalows have attached garages and modern paneling.
