Historic Kessler Park Home Is Waiting To Be Someone’s Loyal Companion

See that doggie in the front window of this Kessler Park home? The one with the fluffy tail, sitting like a good girl as she looks out onto N. Clinton Avenue. There she is again shown below, lying on the gorgeous hardwood floors in the spacious living area of this 1916-built Colonial Revival. She’s waiting for you.

Waiting for you to realize what a dog-gone amazing place she’s got here in the Kessler Park Historic District and it’s on the National Register of Historic Places.

She’s also waiting to show off all her favorite spots — where to sit in the sun, watch for squirrels, or wait for her family to get home. If you come to the open house this Sunday, you can check them all out for yourself between 2 and 4 p.m.. Check out the recent price improvement, too. It’s now $820,000, which is an incredible value.

While technically she’s not listed in the exclusions in MLS, we must clarify: This good doggo is not part of the sale. Her mom and dad and four brothers are taking her with them. But she’s so excited to leave 1130 N. Clinton for the next good girl or boy who comes along.

“We wanted the charm of an older home,” says Maggie Ward who has owned it since 2015, “but felt we’d be forced to compromise on space. We were pleasantly surprised to find we had plenty here. We are a family of six with four wild boys, so we needed room to spread out. With four bedrooms upstairs and three full baths, it’s definitely a unicorn of a home.”

The expansive living room covers an entire wing of the home and features a beamed ceiling with beadboard accents and rich hardwoods. The spacious light-filled dining room is perfect for family dinners and holiday gatherings and leads to an updated kitchen featuring Shaker cabinets, butcher-block countertops, a gas range, and a farm sink.

“With us both working from home, the flexibility to have a home office was the cherry on top. The private backyard has been enjoyed immensely by the boys, and we’ve entertained often on the large deck, which is easily accessible from the kitchen and living room. It naturally becomes party-central when we entertain.”

“This home is so warm and inviting,” says Sandra Bussey, listing agent with Dave Perry-Miller’s InTown office. “You can’t help but feel comfortable and welcome here. That warm invitation to linger and stay awhile begins upon arrival. The home has fantastic flow, and the generously sized portico and grand entryway make it easy for guests to get acquainted with the space.”

“For me, a home should be a place of peace, relaxation, and comfort,” says co-listing agent, Ged Dipprey, “and this one checks all the boxes. The home at 1130 N. Clinton is true to its Colonial Revival roots, offering both simplicity and practicality in its layout, but with a casual elegance.”

The home also offers a superb Kessler location and is three miles or less to the bustling Bishop Arts area, Downtown Dallas or the Kessler Theatre.
