Room to Roam in Kessler Park: This Ranch-Style Home Surprises with Space and Color

For this week’s Highlight Home of the Week sponsored by Lisa Peters, Senior Loan Officer with First Horizon, we have a picture-perfect 1950-built Ranch-style in the heart of Kessler Park. This beauty is special in that it offers a rare five bedrooms and three baths over a whopping 3,380 square feet, and it’s positioned on a huge .37 acre lot.

The home has curb appeal to spare with shade trees and meticulous landscaping adding to the charm of its brick facade — not to mention that lovely large setback. There is a nice long driveway off to the right that leads to a detached garage and carport.

The walkway leads to a front porch, which allows plenty of room for chairs or a porch swing, to enjoy morning coffee or lemonade while watching the neighborhood go by.

When you enter the home, you find the first of two living areas, cozy with hardwood floors and a fireplace. Plantation shutters adorn the windows overlooking the neighborhood, allowing plenty of natural light.

“With generous living spaces, tasteful updates, and a seamless flow throughout, this home offers the ideal blend of modern functionality and classic charm,” said listing agent Crystal Gonzalez with Compass Real Estate.

The living area opens to the dining room, which makes a bold statement with its cobalt blue walls, designer lighting, and clean lines. It’s a room that’s bound to pack a “Wow” from visitors. Then, the floorplan flows through to the kitchen for ease of entertaining and daily life.

The well-appointed kitchen features granite countertops and tons of storage space, as well as a convenient breakfast bar, great for casual meals or entertaining. The kitchen is lined with floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the large backyard that keep the space light and bright.

This second living space makes a convenient and cozy family room with lovely built-in shelves and rich hardwoods, as well as glass doors allowing patio access.

Welcome to your backyard oasis with covered patio overlooking greenspace galore! But wait … there’s more!

Just around the corner, the extensive side yard offers yet another chance to enjoy the outdoors. Also beautifully landscaped, this peaceful patch can be enjoyed from the elevated deck.

And did I mention the location? The lovely home at 923 Leatrice Drive is about a mile from all the shopping, art, and restaurants of the Bishop Arts District; just a short distance from Stevens Park Golf Course; and and easy commute into downtown Dallas.

Compass Real Estate’s Crystal Gonzalez has 923 Leatrice Dr. listed for $1.4 million.

Open house this Sunday, August 3 from 2 to 4 p.m.
