Thursday Three Hundred: Beautiful East Kessler Midcentury Modern Is Ready To Entertain Guests
Share News:
The frost is still on the ground this morning, and while I’m cozy in my 1950s post war in East Dallas, I know my husband wants to live the Midcentury Modern life in Oak Cliff. So, in 2013, we might find ourselves with a new address on the other side of town.
That means I’m starting the hunt, I guess. We haven’t even started getting our house prepped for the market, but that doesn’t mean a girl can’t look, right?
That brings me to today’s Thursday Three Hundred, which is on the very high end of the price range at $399,000. I can see why the owners are optimistic about 1548 Eastus Drive, though. It’s a beautiful Midcentury Modern in East Kessler Park, which is close to everything a family like mine wants to be near while still benefiting from the privacy of larger lots and mature trees that North Oak Cliff offers.
I know that this home is beautiful, but I wish that the photos reflected the care and planning the owners put into renovating this 63-year-old home. Sorely lacking is a decent photo of the home’s exterior, which really sells curb appeal and lot size.
Still, this three-bedroom, three-bath home is gorgeous. It’s been completely repainted with museum-finish walls. The floors have been restored, too. There’s a new offset fireplace in the living room, featuring gorgeous mosaic tile. While each room gets decent light from the large windows, I’m kind of put off by the cheap mini blinds.
That’s not enough, however, to keep me from imagining my furniture in this 2,300-square-foot home. I am also fantasizing about entertaining in the kitchen, which features a gigantic island with bar seating and a really cute mosaic glass backsplash.
The bedrooms and bathrooms, well, they’re kind of typical of what you’d find in any home, which is a bit of a letdown when you consider this house’s potential.
So what do you think: Should I keep it on the list?

Love that kitchen with such abundant counter space and storage with clean lines. Those secondary bedroom sizes are pretty decent sized and the backyard is just right. I also want those white tufted leather chairs! Throw those in and you have a deal.
