From Cottage to Couture: A Tale of Transformation in Kessler Park

There’s location, location, location … and then there’s location, location, LOCATION!

Tucked into the trees along the Coombs Creek Trail that winds through the neighborhood – just a scant half-mile from Sylvan Thirty and two miles from Bishop Arts – 1614 Kessler Parkway offers something truly rare: a home that feels like it’s part of the landscape and yet also a cornerstone of the neighborhood. Once a modest vintage 1952 cottage, this property was taken to the studs in December 2022 and has been confidently transformed into a modern masterpiece that redefines what it means to live beautifully in Kessler Park. 

A Stunning Remodel

“As Realtors, we walk through countless homes,” says Listing Agent Alex Brady with the O’Brien Property Group at Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate, “but I can honestly say this is one of the most thoughtfully designed layouts I’ve seen – crafted with extreme precision to detail, yet still inviting and warm.”

The four-bedroom, 4.1-bath home now boasts an additional 1,776 square feet: 959 square feet added to the reconfigured first floor and 817 square feet to the new second level for a total of 3,537. It combines timeless details with just the right amount of modern flair.

Step inside, and you’ll quickly realize this isn’t your average remodel. It’s a rebirth. The open-concept layout is a feast for the senses, featuring lofty, light-filled spaces with a soothing modern color palette. Wide plank Seagrass-engineered hardwoods run throughout, adding warmth and sophistication underfoot. The adventurous tiles and statement fixtures are sure to make you swoon – yes, tile can have that effect, don’tcha know?

In the kitchen, you’ll find an oversized island clad in earthy matte quartz that’s practically begging for charcuterie boards, casual chats, or your best attempt at baking. Pair it with sleek black appliances and decadent gold hardware, and you’ve got a space so chic it should have its own Instagram account.

The living area takes cozy elegance to the next level with a custom shiplap fireplace that could make even the Grinch feel warm and fuzzy. Add built-in shelving for your carefully curated collection of books or random tchotchkes, and it’s ready to impress. The office with glass French doors overlooks the parkway, so if getting lost in beautiful daydreams every once in a while might be problematic, this ain’t the place for you.

Here’s a neat fact. The first-level primary suite doubles as both a bedroom and a personal escape hatch from the chaos of life. Complete with an elegant bath, a walk-in closet you could get lost in, and private turfed outdoor space, it’s a little slice of paradise. Two additional guest suites on the same floor offer a warm welcome, while the second-level in-law suite ensures everyone has a spot to unwind. 

The home also features a well-appointed mudroom/laundry room with dog door access to a private dog run with irrigated turf and $10k in custom cabinetry.

This green/energy build includes all-new electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems, installed in Spring 2023, ensuring peace of mind and sustainability for years to come. Priced at $1.6 million, it redefines luxury living in Kessler Park. It’s sophisticated, practical, and downright beautiful – kind of like Kessler Park itself.

“This neighborhood is truly one of my favorites,” Brady said. “Its walkability, the beautiful terrain, and the friendly, connected vibe of the neighbors create such a special atmosphere. It’s active, laid-back, and full of good energy and gorgeous architecture at every winding turn.”
