“She’s beautiful,” I said to myself, slowly flipping through the photos of this Kessler Park home. Now, I don’t know if other people audibly narrate their thoughts like I do, but if you do (and you don’t mind a little conversation along the way), let’s look at this gorgeous listing together.
The address is 644 Kessler Reserve Court in Oak Cliff, this week’s selection as High Caliber Home of the Week, sponsored by Lisa Peters of Caliber Home Loans. Lisa is one of the most connected ladies I know, and she always has her pulse on the best homes on the market. This little beauty is listed by Marcos Hernandez and Courtney Tauriac with Beck Realty Residential Inc.
Let’s start with the architecture – a chic, angular modern farmhouse designed by award-winning Maestri Studio. Maestri actually designed a handful of custom modern farmhouses like this there on Kessler Reserve Court. The stucco home features an oversized covered front porch with multiple stairs and ledges for a great visual effect. I’m picturing something fluffy and green on that ledge to the left.
The home has four bedrooms and four full baths over 3,737 square feet and sits on just over a quarter-acre lot with custom drought-tolerant landscaping designed by Marlin Landscape Systems. Just wait till you see the back courtyard.
Inside and out, Maestri’s team designed a masterpiece. The floor plan is smart, just as you’d expect from an award-winning architecture firm. They laid out the rooms to take advantage of private backyard sightlines (shown above) and maximize views of the beautifully landscaped neighborhood (shown below).
The plentiful windows throughout this home are gorgeous, for sure. They’re Lincoln windows that bring a “strong connection to the outdoors.” It’s that whole “bring the outside in” appeal of homes that are bathed in natural light.
But real talk here: Windows don’t always make for good neighbors. (I’m convoluting the saying here. Fences — that’s what makes for good neighbors, but bear with me.) That’s why the Maestri team designed the foyer with a staircase and wall that backs to a smart take on the mudroom. That way you’ve got some privacy from well-meaning neighbors and their Doodles on their morning walk.
A bench with pull-out storage and kid-level cabinets. Out of sight for neighbors so your house always looks like the housekeeper came that day. I like this.
“Natural earth-tones and soft palettes provides inspired living while seamlessly blending luxurious finishes with the comfortable conveniences of everyday living,” Hernandez, the listing agent says. He’s good.
You’ll find 10-foot ceilings with box beam accents (seen below), Carrera marble baths, quartz countertops, and refinished white oak hardwood floors. In other words, floor-to-ceiling luxury.
The kitchen features a Bertazonni gas range, built-in Kitchenaid refrigerator, and an oversized island with eat-in breakfast bar. Plus, look at those custom fixtures above the island! That’s something I love about this home. The lighting fixtures are on point.
But I feel like I’m talking your ear off, so let’s head upstairs to the impressive primary suite. Doesn’t that sound more impressive than master bedroom?
Hark, built-in shelves — because real people have things and things would look great on these shelves.
You’ll maintain your zen in this primary suite sanctuary with a spa-worthy Carerra marble en-suite bath. Standalone shower and marble tub, dual vanities, huge walk-in closet space, and drawers for days. Plus, shiplap never looked so elegant.
Finally, I promised you an impressive back patio. Entertain al-fresco in your private backyard around the stunning custom firepit with Ipe wood fence and bench seating. There’s low maintenance artificial lawn, bistro lighting, and stunning moon lighting. What’s moon lighting, you ask?
That’s moon lighting. Soft lighting that’s imitates the natural light on the moon in your backyard. Dramatic, right? I think this house would look great on you and the whole Daltxrealestate.com team will help you break in that patio with a bottle of bubbly. So what do you think?
