Growing up, Thanksgiving dinners were just the four of us — my mom, dad, sister, and me. That’s it. Those days are long gone. Now we have a multitude of in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, a great-grandparent, and plenty of adopted family friends mulling around the house on Thanksgiving Day.
If your Thanksgiving feast is more like the current Bowtie Realtor (that’s me btw) scenario, then this Tarrant County Tuesday home at 2511 Rogers Avenue is especially for you!
All About Kitchen Space
It’s cliche to say it or even think it, but it’s 100 percent true — holidays are when everyone gravitates to the kitchen. Why that is can be up for debate, but it’s undeniable — if you have a large family for holidays then you’re going to need the right kitchen.
A large island and lots of counter space is imperative for a holiday kitchen
If there isn’t space for all the turkey and dressing on the counter, then you could “accidentally” miss the veggies. Not to worry in the kitchen of 2511 Rogers Avenue, which has plenty of space for all the healthy treats as well as grandma’s chocolate pecan pies.
Traditional meets modern with the open-floating shelving giving a very clean and fresh look
An eat-in island is always a bonus for when Cousin Eddie likes to mull about smartly, pretending to be helpful but really just plopping down and eating all the black olives.
Georgian Architecture in Texas
Georgian was the dominant architectural style in the early 1700s in the English colonies. The side-gabled roof (as seen at 2511 Rogers Avenue) is the most common and consistent design.
Georgian architecture comes to the University Place neighborhood of Fort Worth
Prominent themes of this style are the symmetrical double-hung windows, the paneled front door capped by a decorative entablature supported by pilasters, and a tight cornice emphasized with dentil molding.
Going With The Flow
Flow is always important to a home. You know, how the rooms relate to one another and how spaces are used.
Entry staircase is great opportunity for decorative garland, notice the reading nook to the left
When it comes to flow, 2511 Rogers Avenue is a great example of using all the spaces for practical purposes. Upon entry in this 3,312-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-and-one-half-bathroom home, you will see the open entry staircase as well as a fun reading nook perfectly placed for decoration and practicality. I can imagine someone actually using that reading area in this home.
Flagstone patio has great inside/outside feel
Similarly the interior flagstone courtyard, wrapped on three sides by the main floor of the home, gives the inside/outside flow of the home a purpose. So often homes have spaces that just don’t seem like they’ll be used…not the case with this home.
Master Suite
The master suite at 2511 Rogers is on the main level and continues the theme of generous and practical spaces.
Master bathroom is spacious and elegant at 2511 Rogers Avenue
The bedroom is quite large and comes with a titch of color versus the rest of the home.
The master bedroom allows for plenty of natural light and space
2511 Rogers Avenue is listed by the Super Stylish Team of Ted Olsen and Ida Duwe-Olsen with their new sidekick Chris Miller of Williams Trew Real Estate. The home is listed for $799,500 and ready for a large holiday gathering.
