The Tree House
1322 Kessler Pkwy. $950,000.
One of the most unique residences in Dallas, this Kessler Park home features living areas that cantilever over a heavily treed half-acre lot. Built with 52 tons of structural steel, 144 windows, 142 recessed lights, interior “I” beams, and plaster walls with art dye pigment, this is a Gary Cunningham-designed architectural wonder. The Zen gardens, visible from the glass-encased foyer, are reached via hill-climbing pulley trolley. Second floor slab is radiant-heated cement, and the stainless steel kitchen includes handcrafted maple cabinets. Sky-blue ceilings invoke a tree-house feel, all while being just five minutes from downtown Dallas. Keith Cox and Christina Benoit with Cox + Partners for Abio AHK Realty. 214-219-5269.
