Thursday Three Hundred: Make Your Home Among The Birds in This Awesome Kessler Woods Treehouse
Share News:
I’m from Houston, so seeing a home on stilts is no big deal. You see them all the time along the many bayous and river bottoms. A home on stilts in Oak Cliff? Well, that’s unique!
This house, 1658 Nob Hill Road to be exact, is perched among the treetops in Kessler Woods. It has two bedrooms, two full baths, and one awesome living room. This home does need some serious updating, which might help you whittle down the $329,000 price tag.
What’s awesome about this house? The huge windows, the fireplace, the sunken living room, the spiral staircase that leads to a loft-style bedroom, and of course all of those amazing views.
Less than awesome? The upholstery on the couch in the sunken living room and all of that awful wood paneling.
Of course, you’ll have to completely gut the kitchen and get rid of those upper cabinets that block the view (why do that?). But at least Virginia Cook Realtor Susan Melnick acknowledges that this home needs some work.
It will be worth it, though. You’ll end up with a sweet master suite, too. Check out the master bath, which has two floor-to ceiling windows, and one of them gives you a great view from the garden tub! This house just oozes potential, but I kind of feel like the price is a bit high for how much work this house needs.
What’s you’re opinion? If you were putting an offer down on this home, what would it be?

I'd love to get my hands on that. It has amazing potential.
needs a lot of work and wooden shingles?
Yeah, I might offer about 3/4 or less of the asking given how much work needs to be done. I suspect the inspection will turn up even more. Love this house though.
Does it come w/ /a garden (how much property?) ie land? Is this in Dallas, Karen? Looks kind of sweet. I would have lots of bird feeders and window boxes (brought 8 from Rye – hoping to use them in Texas).

I love it! I would totally re-do the inside, whitewash the outside and use slate for roof and siding, and I want a flower box in every window overflowing with color! So yes, price must come down!!

Holly, yes it is in Dallas. If you click on the address hyperlink it will take you to information on the property.
Yes, I saw that. Must be a nice area or lot as it looks like the house needs to be gutted.

Well I would not say gutted, just a bit of a remodel .

This location as requested a rezoning from the City Of Dallas. Can you let us know what’s going on? Why does a single home want to be rezoned? And what do they want to put in place of the single families on you currently there? Inquiring minds want to know. Thank you
Sorry. I used voice text on my comment. Hope you can decipher it
