Sure, it was built in 2008, but this Kessler Woods home has an unmistakeable midcentury modern vibe throughout its 3646 square feet. Some of if can be spotted from the curb — the long red brick wall, exposed beams, and angled roof all hearken to a California Cliff May type feel. Of course, this home benefits from the high-end materials and expert engineering of our day.
So of course this North Oak Cliff listing is a perfect candidate for our High Caliber Home of the Week sponsored by Lisa Peters of Caliber Home Loans. If this is the home of your dreams, don’t take any chances with financing and call Lisa Peters with Caliber Home Loans today.

From the wide-plank hardwood floors to the high ceilings and the walls and walls of windows, everything about this home is clean, cool, and modern. But there’s something about that red brick wall with the fireplace — it feels more like something you’d find in one of the midcentury moderns on Eustis in Little Forest Hills. That same vibe is mimicked on the home’s patio, too, and you’ll see throwbacks in the clerestory windows of the upstairs windows and how the staircase is emphasized in the space.
In all, 2239 Kessler Woods Court has all of the things you’d expect from one of the homes inside this little enclave of modern architecture. There’s tons of room for entertaining, plenty of outdoor space, and scads of eye-popping details that have plenty of visual impact but don’t sacrifice the warmth of the spaces. You get three bedrooms, four full and one half bath, a home gym, plus a basement media room for all those private screenings you’ve been wanting to host. And with David Griffin as the listing agent, you know it’s going to be worth every bit of $1,025,000.
I love the sleek, European-style kitchen and the modern vent hood with an overhead storage space. That’s the perfect way to keep a home chef from cluttering up a minimalist aesthetic. Of course you can expect the high-end appliances that will take your cooking to the next level, too, and there’s plenty of cabinet and counter space for you to create.
The rest of the home feels open and airy, especially considering how well the home flows between spaces and rooms. There is a central hall that connects the staircase and upper floor to the lower areas of the home, and on one side has a huge bank of windows that look out to the front of the house. This gives it a kind of lantern-like feel, where you get plenty of light without sacrificing privacy.
The master bedroom is on the second floor and has those clerestory windows that give it a cool midcentury feel. The size is modest, and the en suite bathroom is tame. You get a shower with an interesting tile pattern and frameless glass surround, and some really beautiful cabinetry. It’s pretty, but it’s not adventurous.
Of course, the outside spaces really connect the rest of the home, with plenty of dining and lounging spots sure to keep guests entertained. I love that the fireplace design from the living room is mimicked on the covered patio, and there’s a spot of high-end artificial grass that is great for dog lovers.
