A wide lot provides distance from your neighbors. A deep lot allows you to place the home back on the lot and still have a rear garden large enough for a pool, gazebo, sculpture garden and terraces. An ordinary narrow and long lot begs for privacy and has land in the back that is not easily accessible and is always underutilized. A site more evenly proportioned, like this wide and deep lot, allows a home to be perfectly placed, with views of gardens in every direction. See more on this Preston Hollow lot for sale
