NEWLY BUILT KESSLER RESERVE BEAUTY ON HIGHEST POINT IN ENCLAVE
Open house: Sunday, July 24, 2-4 p.m.
The marvelous home at 625 Kessler Reserve Ct. is in the new Kessler Reserve development in Oak Cliff. Its location just south of West Colorado Boulevard puts it in the heart of North Oak Cliff, but because it’s a gated community and the area is heavily treed and borders a spring-fed creek and 19-acre park, the overall feel is private. The development is 3 miles to downtown Dallas, making it super convenient, too. This house is new construction with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, one half bath, and 2,992 square feet on two stories, sitting on the highest point of Kessler Reserve.
With this home, architectural elements combined with the use of efficient space allow the indoor living to blend with the outdoors. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide ample natural light with upstairs windows looking out to a canopy of trees. The kitchen is gourmet, with Bosch stainless steel appliances, including a gas cooktop, as well as floor-to-ceiling white cabinets on one wall. The refrigerator/freezer and microwave are built in, giving them a seamless look.
The living room has 10-foot ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace, and dark, wide-plank hardwoods are everywhere except the bathrooms. The master bedroom is spacious with a wonderful ensuite bathroom, with separate vanities, a soaker tub, and walk-in shower with frameless front and modern tile.
It was listed July 18 by Faisal Halum with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty for $940,000.
LOVELY ROYAL OAKS PARK RENO ON HALF AN ACRE
Open house: Sunday, July 24, 2-4 p.m.
The Royal Oaks Park home at 3878 Echo Brook Ln. has lots of space inside and out. It sits on half an acre near Royal Lane and Midway Road, with four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a half bathroom, and 4,199 square feet on one story, built in 1972.
The vaulted family room with fireplace opens to the renovated kitchen, featuring SubZero appliances, including a gas cooktop. There’s also an island, two pantries, built-in refrigerator, and convection oven, and the room overlooks the backyard and swimming pool. The master suite boasts a covetable bathroom, with gorgeous soaker tub, as well as a closet with an island. Nearby, there’s a workout room and wood-paneled sauna. The house also features a study, media room, and three-car garage. Outdoor amenities include a swimming pool, mini basketball court, two yards, and a grand pergola.
It was listed July 15 by Sherri Courie with Ebby Halliday Realtors for $799,000.
UPDATED CASA LINDA ESTATES HOUSE WITH “WOW” IN EVERY ROOM
Open house: Sunday, July 24, 3:30-5 p.m.
If you’re looking for a totally updated home with lots of personality in the heart of East Dallas, the property at 9531 Vinewood Dr. is the pick for you. Located in Casa Linda Estates, this five-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom home is quite large for the area, with 2,913 square feet on two stories, built in 1964.
Every room offers something new to “ooohhh” over, from the well-planned landscaping and the formal living room’s modern chandelier, to the hardwood floors and the big, open kitchen. Throughout the home, you’ll find custom built-ins, too. The living room has high ceilings, a painted brick fireplace, and built-in seating. The nearby kitchen is a total reno, with lovely marble counters, tons of white cabinets, a chic backsplash, commercial-grade range, and convection oven.
This home has its master and one bedroom downstairs, and three additional bedrooms upstairs. The oversized garage has room for a hydraulic lift. This house is ten minutes from downtown Dallas, five minutes to White Rock Lake, and five minutes to the Dallas Arboretum. It was listed July 19 by Eric Holmes with Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate for $549,900.
CHARMED NORTH STONEWALL TERRACE COTTAGE WITH BEAUTIFUL SPACES
Open house: Sunday, July 24, 2-4 p.m.
We love a charmed cottage, and the house at 5811 Palm Ln. in North Stonewall Terrace doesn’t disappoint. It’s adorable curb appeal is matched by a thoughtful interior with good flow and lots of updates. This home has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 1,257 square feet, built in 1941.
Sitting just blocks from SMU on secluded cul-de-sac, this cottage has a new mater bathroom, privacy fence with electronic gate, landscaping, stainless steel appliances, and interior paint. We love the vintage touches, like arched doorways and an original fireplace (now decorative). They add a lot of character to the home, which also offers lots of modern features. The kitchen has many of them, like a stainless steel gas cooktop, lots of glass-front cabinets, and an on-trend look. There’s a detached one-car garage and lots of green space in the back, too.
It was listed July 15 by Michael Wong with Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate for $359,000.
BEAUTIFULLY RENOVATED WHITE ROCK NORTH HOME WITH OPEN FLOORPLAN
Open house: Sunday, July 24, 1-3 p.m.
The White Rock North home at 9669 Covemeadow Dr. is a beautifully updated space on a tree-lined street in a great East Dallas neighborhood. This house has five bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a half bathroom, and 2,968 square feet on two stories, built in 1965. It is located near Walnut Hill Lane and Audelia Road, minutes from White Rock Lake’s north shores.
The attention to detail is obvious throughout this property, from the manicured landscaping and cute curb appeal, to hand-scraped wood floors and plantation shutters. Many of the room feature custom built-ins, including the living room, with its coffered ceilings, airy feel, and large fireplace. With quartz countertops and a glass tile backsplash, the kitchen looks fabulous. There is also a gas cooktop, lots of cabinets, a large island, and high-end fixtures. The first-floor master offers two closets and an ensuite bathroom with a jetted tub. The large backyard features mature shade trees and a dog run.
It was listed July 19 by Shelly Seltzer with Ebby Halliday Realtors for $649,000.
