Kessler Park Traditional is Spacious and Sweet

Need a great home in a fabulous area, close to shopping, practically a stone’s throw from downtown Dallas, and with great schools nearby? Would you believe that you can find all of this in Oak Cliff? It’s true! Not only that, but you can get a great home with 3,000 square feet, three living areas, and a huge backyard for less than $500,000.

I know, it sounds too good to be true! But according to Kathy Hewitt of Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate, it’s absolutely real! Jump to see what you can get in Kessler Park, just off of Sylvan, for a bargain price of $459,000!

This cute 1956 rambler of a ranch in Kessler Park has been updated with care and consideration, says listing agent Kathy Hewitt. Located at 806 Knott Place, this home sits on a lot with mature trees, offering shade and ambiance to the property. It has been lovingly maintained by the sellers, and it shows.

With four bedrooms, three full and one half bath, and a mother-in-law or guest suite that has a separate living room and kitchen, this home has plenty of amenities to attract a family seeking room to grow. The home is located just off of Sylvan Avenue, which is so close to the Sylvan|Thirty development with a organic market, restaurants, and boutiques. You’re close to funky Fort Worth Avenue, too, where you’ll find the Belmont Hotel, Smoke, Chicken Scratch, and the Foundry.

This home is lacking nothing, that’s for sure, with spacious formals and huge windows, beautiful floors and plenty of storage. The kitchen is spacious and open, and has stainless steel appliances and tons of cabinetry. You’ll appreciate the windows that flood the whole home with light, and the familiar flow that makes this home feel easy to love and very casual.

The master bedroom is bright and accessible with several windows and a decent 16×13 floor plan. I do like that there is a whole bank of windows and a separate, larger one, but the orientation of the bed feels a bit odd. Still, it’s a great room, and it’s attached to an even better bathroom, which has been thoroughly updated to attract a discerning buyer. The master bath features a jetted tub and separate frameless glass shower with travertine floors and a marble tub surround. It feels warm and inviting, and the finishes are perfect for the style of the home, adding a modern touch without losing its traditional feel.

This would be a great spot for a live-in nanny, or a care-taker, too. Of course, if you are looking for a home to stay in for a while, this would be a good area for a grown child to come home to from college, or even afterward as a landing spot.

You also have to love the lot and the courtyard, where you can string some cool lights and make it party central. Part of me can imagine some kind of pergola shade structure and maybe even a deck with a hot tub. But that’s just me. To each his own, of course. What do you think?
