With roots in medieval England and revivals through the 20th century, the Tudor remains one of the most timeless architectural styles of all time. Defining characteristics include decorative timbering, asymmetrical design, embellished doorways, and pitched gable roofs. The elements combine to create an aesthetic that’s so distinct you immediately recognize it when you see it. Of course, when you see it, you’re almost always in awe.
Unfortunately, encountering a true Tudor is increasingly rare. With the emergence of cost-effective construction trends, many of the techniques used to create traditional Tudors have gone by the wayside. When one comes on the market, you must move fast.
For this week’s Inwood Home of the Week sponsored by Inwood National Bank, we’re stoked to show off an incredible Tudor-style home in Kessler Square.
Mohammed Jaber with The Summit Group says this stunning two-bedroom, two-bathroom, 1,938-square-foot gem must be explored inside and out.
“As far as the neighborhood goes, Kessler Square is a very vibrant community,” said Jaber. “It’s walking distance from Stevens Park Golf Course and has an established feel with mature trees throughout. It also features close proximity to Bishop Arts, Downtown Dallas, and all there is to offer there.”
The home fits perfectly among the quaint tree-lined serenity of one of Kessler Square’s most coveted streets. With a high-pitched roof and latticed windows, this home exudes that timeless Tudor charm.
Then, the interior takes that charm and runs with it. From the moment you step into this home, you feel instantly invited. With dark hardwood flooring and an array of finishes, this home is dynamic across every corner.
The living room serves as a true centerpiece for the home. One end boasts a handsome contemporary hearth. Then, on the other end, it opens up to a quaint sunlit office space with its own outdoor access.
“This home features a really smart flow and layout,” said Jaber. “Therefore, it allows residents to enjoy an open feel that is ideal for entertaining.”
The formal dining room sets a sophisticated tone with deep hunter-green paint on both walls and built-in cabinets. The rich wood accent wall adds warmth to the room.
The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a gas range, a wine fridge, and an abundance of cabinet space, making this Kessler Square the perfect setup for hosting any of your holiday gatherings. It is that time of the year, after all.
The primary bedroom is absolutely beautiful. It brings in a ton of natural light, looking out over the cozy backyard setting. This is an excellent place to unwind and feel totally at home.
The ensuite bathroom is expertly curated, blending elements of contemporary style with classic tilework and immaculate marble. It expertly nods to the era without going over the top.
Of course, this home includes an extra bedroom and bathroom, both of which are up to the same style standards as the rest of this Kessler Square cottage.
Finally, the backyard is a breath of fresh air.
“I really love the backyard here,” said Jaber. “It features multiple mature trees for ample coverage during the summer.”
Here, the potential is limitless with wide open spaces, tidy turfing, and plenty of room to stretch out.
Seriously, if you’re a Tudor lover looking for a new home, you have to come out to Kessler Square and catch this one-of-a-kind listing.
Mohammed Jaber with The Summit Group has priced 1027 N. Edgefield Avenue for $750,000.
