This Historic Kessler Park Tudor is a Wine Collector’s Dream

It’s always a treat to find a home that has been truly loved and lived in well by its owners, and that is certainly the case with this remarkable historic Kessler Park Tudor. There are so many beautiful additions and details that speak of the current owners’ passions and hobbies that will make wonderful selling points for the lucky buyers of this home.

A Passion Project

Take, for example, the landscaping. You won’t find any grass in the front or back yards. One of the owners is a Master Gardener, and she did everything in native Texas perennials, creating a lush, colorful environment in both spaces. In the rear structure off the garage, she created a charming potting shed as a work space for the garden.

Another addition in the rear structure, and one assumes, another passion project of the current owners, is the wine room, one of the truly unique features of this Kessler Park Tudor. The space is outfitted to hold more than 2,000 bottles and has its own generator, so even if the power goes out, the bottles will be kept at the proper temperature.

Another unique feature added by the current owners speaks to their enjoyment of the outdoor oasis they created, and the wonderful neighborhood in which they reside. Listing agent Robert Kucharski of David Griffin & Company said, “They added the covered patio during Covid because they were gathering with neighbors so much and they wanted to have a place to host them.” The patio has a convenient motorized screen for keeping out insects and the elements when needed. And a great place to enjoy a glass of wine after cooling off with a dip in the pool after a day of gardening.

But Let’s Head Inside!

All that, and we haven’t even ventured indoors! Upon entering this beautiful home, we find many original elements remain intact, while updates that a modern buyer will want have been made. From architectural details like the arched doorway, the intricate stairway bannister, the fireplace, and more, the Tudor style is apparent everywhere.

The living room is spacious with cathedral ceilings and large glass doors overlooking the gorgeous patio and pool.

Luxurious dark wood floors usher you to the generous formal dining room and kitchen, which has been recently updated with KitchenAid appliances.

Other points of interest include solar panels, which are owned (not rented), and will pass to the new owners, new windows, and recently replaced HVAC. And of course the fabulous location in Kessler Park, close to Bishop Arts, Stevens Golf Course, and Combs Creek Trail.

David Griffin & Company’s Robert Kucharski has 1211 N Winnetka Ave listed at $1.1 million.
