Behind That Traditional Exterior Lies a Completely Contemporary Kessler Park Abode

Sure, North Oak Cliff is a hot market, but compared to the sky-high prices in other nabes, this area still has some fabulous deals. Take this Kessler Park home at 1004 N. Montclair. Not only does it have some ridiculous curb appeal (just look at that beautiful ivy-covered brick with stone accents!), but the interiors are a wonderful, well-designed surprise.

This high-caliber home from David Griffin Realtor Robert Kucharski just hit the market, and it is a fabulous deal —  you get more than 3,100 square feet for less than $1 million. If you’re ready to put in your offer, call Lisa Peters at Caliber Home Loans to get the ball rolling. Lisa is an expert in luxury lending, and she can make sure you sail through pre-approval all the way to closing.

Yes, this home, built in 1925 has the original Rookwood tile fireplace and it is AMAZING. It is so, so rare to see not only an original Rookwood Pottery fireplace in some of these historic Kessler Park homes, but to see one that is fully tiled? It’s practically a unicorn. You’ll also love the Arts & Crafts spin on contemporary decor and finishes inside this beautiful listing. Bright wood finishes, French doors, and a neutral palette make it one of those homes that puts you at ease almost instantly. It’s spacious, gorgeous, and completely livable. There are four bedrooms, two full and one half baths, three living areas, two dining areas, and a separate 828-square-foot studio not included in the home’s total square footage.

According to Kucharski, the custom kitchen features cherry cabinetry and commercial-grade stainless steel appliances. According to me, it is absolutely gorgeous and understated. I love the suspended track lighting, the copious windows, open storage, and the mix of stainless steel and butcher block countertops.

The master suite is pretty, but it’s the master bath that will captivate. Those cool sliding doors are just genius, and the soaking tub hits its mark as the focal point of the room.

There have been other practical updates, including high-efficiency HVAC, foam attic insulation, impact resistant roof shingles, a central vac system, new electric panel, new water and gas lines, and a new security system that covers the entire property.

I think this home is just perfect for anyone who has a small, craft or design-oriented business that wants a great work-from-home space without sacrificing room in the main house. Additionally, you’ll adore the lush backyard, which has a fire pit, terraced garden, and a waterfall that runs to a beautiful koi pond.
