Walk through it
Just under a minute through the house and the grounds: the open kitchen and den, the fireplace, the bedrooms, the decks front and back, the pergola, and the detached garage at the rear of the lot.
Photographs of every room are further down the page, and viewings are by appointment through the listing agent.
The house
1657 Nob Hill is a 1954 ranch style home on 0.30 acres in Kessler Park, four bedrooms and two baths all on one level, set back from the street.
The sellers dealt with the yard properly. The back yard has been regraded and fitted with French drains, with new landscaping, new fencing, and front and rear decks. The plumbing has been updated and the fixtures with it.
The detached garage is 27 by 27, with its own mini-split and a full floor of storage above. That is 729 air conditioned square feet separate from the house, currently used as a combination of office, gym and play space.
Inside, the kitchen opens to the den across an open plan with a brick fireplace at one end. There is a butler's pantry and a walk-in pantry sized for a second refrigerator, and a separate utility room. Front and rear decks, a pergola-covered patio, a lawn and raised vegetable beds outside.
Downtown Dallas is five minutes away. Bishop Arts, Stevens Park and the Coombs Creek Trail are within walking distance.

On the square footage. The 2,330 sq ft figure is the house alone. The detached garage adds 729 air conditioned square feet of its own, which is where the 3,059 total comes from. An appraiser will not count garage space as gross living area, so the two figures are given separately rather than combined in the listing.
Work the sellers have completed
- Back yard regraded
- French drains installed
- New landscaping
- New fencing
- Front and rear decks
- Plumbing updated throughout, with new fixtures
- Mini-split added to the detached garage
Drainage and grading are the two things that most often go unaddressed on 1950s houses in this part of Oak Cliff. On this one that work is already done.
For a buyer holding it as an investment
The house is currently leased at $6,400 a month, which is $76,800 a year gross. Against a purchase at $995,000 that works out at roughly a 5.4 percent yield once Dallas County property tax and insurance are taken off, before financing.
That makes it workable for a 1031 exchange buyer on an identification clock, or for a buyer relocating to Dallas later who wants to secure the house now and take the rent until they move in.
Exact tax, insurance and lease terms are available on request through the listing agent.
