This Elevated East Kessler Home Is Ready for Your Art Collection

If Midcentury Modern design had a high-style soulmate, 1624 Eastus Dr. would be it. Perched high above the street on a picturesque 0.75-acre lot, this East Kessler stunner somehow manages to elevate everything around it as well.

You’ll instantly notice the crisp Level 4 drywall finish when you step inside, offering a sleek, gallery-grade backdrop designed for serious art collectors (or anyone who appreciates seriously smooth walls). Floor-to-ceiling glass offers a different kind of art, framing lush canopy views from virtually every angle while refinished hardwoods pull you into the common areas where you can’t help but envision yourself holding some epic parties. Prefer a quieter scene? The secondary living room that’s wrapped in warm flagstone delivers pure high-design treehouse vibes.

The kitchen proves you don’t need to go down to the studs to create an absolute knockout. Instead of erasing its retro character, the sellers leaned hard into the home’s authentic roots, dropping in iconic pendant lighting from legendary Danish design house Louis Poulsen. The cabinets rock a high-gloss lacquered paint from Farrow & Ball — complete with slick built-in pantry organization that keeps clutter off your radar — and the granite countertops have been deep-cleaned, polished, and resealed to a high shine. This kitchen is vibrant, effortlessly cool, and ready for homework on the island or a sizable Thanksgiving buffet.

Outside, the property dials up the drama. Courtesy of Bonick Landscaping, the grounds feature mature hardwoods, fresh plantings, custom exterior lighting, including an eye-catching backlit address sign (helpful for evening and pre-dawn deliveries), and a soothing new water feature. When it’s not a million degrees, the wrap-around secondary patio over the garage serves as another gathering space that can be accessed from the front of the house or the backyard. Just add twinkling lights, soft music, and refreshing beverages, and neighbors driving by will be clamoring for an invite.

“I love the size and layout of the main living and dining space,” said listing agent Daniel Marshall. “The owners have hosted numerous family gatherings here for holidays and special events, and you never run short on room. Between the seamless indoor/outdoor flow and the smaller living area off the kitchen — which genuinely feels like sitting in a calming treehouse — it’s a sanctuary built for real living.”

The location seals the deal. You’re a stone’s throw from the Coombs Creek hike-and-bike trail for morning runs, under five minutes from coffee and dinner at Sylvan Thirty, and just 10 minutes from downtown.

“Beyond the spectacular Bonick landscaping and dramatic nighttime curb appeal, the current owners left zero detail to chance,” Marshall said. “From new plumbing and gas lines down to the custom power shades, refinished stone, and rebuilt carport, every single inch has been restored or upgraded. It’s rare to find an architectural home in East Kessler that is truly this turn-key.”

On the practical side, you’d also be getting a new commercial-grade metal roof, custom bamboo decking, a private side patio with privacy screens, power shades, and an oversized two-car garage with a dedicated workshop. For overflow parking, there is a three-car carport in the back.

Opportunities of this caliber in East Kessler don’t hang around. Bring your art collection and leave the remodeling headaches behind. Reach out to Marshall to schedule a private showing (972-822-8545 | [email protected]), or swing by the open house this Sunday, July 26, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
