Isn’t it interesting that newer homes that look and feel like older, classically designed homes sell faster and for more money than homes that have no real architectural value or distinction?
Did you know that a brownstone townhome, when used in the urban residential vernacular, doesn’t technically mean the home is made of brown stone? A wise person once told me to “learn something new every single day.” A brownstone townhome can be made of brick or stucco of any color and still have the architectural resemblance of the townhomes built in New York City in the 1800s.

Such is the case with the brownstone at 4710 Dexter Avenue in the heart of Fort Worth’s Rivercrest neighborhood. Built in 2006 by a local Fort Worth builder, this three-story, 3,200-square-foot townhome makes you want to walk outside, hail a cab, and head to Times Square for a show.
Fortunately this beautifully designed and appointed townhome is listed for sale for only $582,000 and not the millions of dollars that brownstones are going for in The Big Apple.

Truly the best of all worlds.

Outstanding! More character and charm than most of the townhomes in this price range in DFW. The builder did a great job of making it look like an older, established property, just like Seth said. And it looks like it shows beautifully. Great listing.
Gorgeous! Indeed, they were named for the color of the exterior stone, which comes from Hummelstown, PA, (brown Triassic-Jurassic sandstone ) but also known for their high stoops. You walk in via a steep staircase rising from the street to the entrance that is almost a second floor level. This was considered more hygienic because streets were, at the time, mucky messes of mud and animal waste. Brownstones are all over New York City, especially in the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Park Slope, Clinton Hill, Fort Greene, Cobble Hill, Prospect Heights, Brooklyn Heights, Bedford Stuyvesant, Sunset Park and Bay Ridge. Some are on the Upper East Side, as well. Boston has Victorian brownstones, same high steps. A greystone is a type of residential structure that utilizes Indiana limestone for its facade. The Chicago “Brownstones” are called “Greystones”, with most proliferating in the south and northwest quadrants of C town. Built from 1890 and up, most are still standing strong and I would LOVE to own one!
A greystone is a type of residential structure that utilizes Indiana limestone for its facade, regardless of its overall architectural style. As in Brooklyn, there exists a “Greystone Belt” in Chicago, with large numbers of such structures located in the south and northwest quadrants of the city. It is estimated that around 30,000 of Chicago’s greystones built between 1890 and 1930 are still standing.[9]
