and othersLet’s be honest: At least half of us peruse Zillow out of pure curiosity. The chance to peek behind the curtain of exterior glamour is irresistible, especially when a truly eye-catching exterior suddenly becomes available for purchase. 1211 N Winnetka Avenue is one such home. New to the Dallas real estate market for just under $1.2 million, the Kessler Park property has an interior that’s just as intriguing as its gorgeous, storybook exterior. But the 1937 Tudor also fulfils a classic tenet of Zillow voyeurism: wish fulfillment.
Sure, 1121 N Winnetka features impressive cathedral ceilings, an updated kitchen and beautiful gardens that can be viewed from a large motorized screened-in porch and tended to from an attractive garden shed, but a recently added wine room with room for more than 2,000 bottles is one of the home’s more compelling selling points.
Its location within Oak Cliff is also part of its appeal: Located in the heart of the Kessler Park Conservation District, the property is surrounded by other formal Tudor and Spanish Revival homes that were home to much of Dallas’ political elite in the 1920s and 1930s. Winding lanes, Stevens Golf Course and the nearby Bishop Arts District offer a world of entertainment, though it’s clear the home is ready to host.
1211 N Winnetka Avenue is $1,190,000 Robert Kucharski of David Griffin & Co. The 2,655-square-foot home has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a pool. It was last listed in 2017 for $825,000.
