Step Back in Time and Into Timelessness With This Kessler Park Spanish-Style Gem

With architects like Clifford Hutsell and iconic neighborhoods like Casa Linda, Dallas has a surprising history with Spanish-style homes. The more suburban iteration of Spanish Colonial was a trademark of Beverly Hills home styles in the early 20th century. Designers like Hutsell, Denman Scott, and Burton Schutt were inspired by the haciendas of Hollywood stars and brought this style to life right here in North Texas. Today, the impact is visible in landmarks like the DeGolyer House, and the influences are apparent in neighborhoods like Kessler Park and Lakewood.

For this week’s Inwood Home of the Week sponsored by Inwood National Bank, we are exploring a classic 1930s Spanish-style home in Kessler Park.

This three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom, 3,067-square-foot gem blends authentic charm with innovative updates.

“From the moment you step onto the property, you’ll feel the soul of a bygone era, with its striking architectural details and timeless appeal,” said listing agent Mohammed Jaber with Compass RE Texas. “This neighborhood, with its rolling hills, majestic trees, and historic charm, has been a jewel of Dallas since the early 20th century, and this home is a testament to its enduring allure.”

From the curb, this property presents all the essential elements of a suburban Spanish standout. With its white stucco, terracotta roof tiles, and an embellished entryway, it exudes that quintessential Beverly Hills vibe.

Then, the interior showcases the style in stunning fashion. In addition to the warm hardwoods, eclectic fixtures, and crisp finishes, this home dazzles with several stunning details. First, the arched throughways evoke an iconic mission-style motif. The hallmarks of this home also include its adobe-influenced hearths. Anchoring the main living room, the largest hearth sets a timeless tone in this Kessler Park Spanish-style listing.

The chef’s kitchen marries modern luxury with a traditional foundation. Here, high-end appliances, contemporary countertops, and custom cabinets create a culinary paradise. Also, an authentic tile backsplash gives a nod to the era.

The primary suite is one-of-a-kind in its design. With beamed cathedral ceilings, a stunning chandelier, and another heritage hearth, this room is reminiscent of a suite in the Chateau Marmont.

Then, the ensuite bathroom adds another touch of modern sophistication with a tasteful update. Dual vanities and ample space ensure every routine is comfortable and convenient.

The floor plan of this Kessler Park Spanish-style home is incredibly expansive, allowing for ultimate flexibility. All bathrooms are updated as well, which adds value and elegance to the overall package.

Finally, the backyard shines as a serene resort-inspired escape complete with a sophisticated swimming pool, an outdoor kitchen, and our third fireplace.

“The backyard invites you to unwind by the shimmering pool or gather around the outdoor fireplace beneath the Texas stars. It’s a scene that feels like it’s been plucked from a Mediterranean villa,” said Jaber. “If you’ve ever dreamed of living in a piece of history while enjoying modern luxuries, 1126 Lausanne Ave. is calling.”

Mohammed Jaber with Compass RE Texas has 1126 Lausanne Ave. listed for $1.9 million.
