Part of the socially vibrant West Kessler Neighborhood Association, this distinctive Midcentury home occupies a nearly half-acre wooded setting with a fascinating Oak Cliff pedigree. Custom-built for J. Walter Nyquist, Vice President of Meletio Electric, and believed to be a Pyka-Built residence, it reflects the influence of celebrated Dallas architect Charles Dilbeck, for whom noted Oak Cliff builder Ben Pyka worked as a contractor.
Inside, hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, original built-ins, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace create unmistakable character. Open spaces overlook the mature trees, while crafted details like a built-in serving buffet and the Dutch door to the Third Bedroom evoke the individuality associated with Pyka and Dilbeck. The light-filled Kitchen retains abundant cabinetry and its incredible original Thermador built-in oven.
The Primary Suite features windows on two exposures, a generous Walk-In Closet with Elfa shelving, and a wonderfully preserved vintage Ensuite Bath with colorful period tile. The Guest Bath is thoughtfully updated with a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. The Third Bedroom, with natural light from 3 exposures, offers flexibility as a Home Office, Library, Creative Space, or Guest Room.
