Write Your Own Romantic Comedy With This Live-Work Property in Downtown Azle

It’s not often you get to write up a house-slash-small business for sale. So when the opportunity presents itself, you gotta take it.

Here’s a little cutie in downtown Azle, which is where exactly? Well, it’s a small town of 12,950 full-time residents (as of 2020) on the southwest side of Eagle Mountain Lake. It’s located in Parker and Tarrant Counties, so not too far.

Knick-Knack Paddywhack …

This little house and shop is called The Little Shop in The City and it’s split in two. One side is the residence and the other side is a little vintage, thrift, knick-knack shop. All the contents do NOT convey, but Helen Painter Group Realtors’ Greg Melvin said he’s pretty sure something could be negotiated.

Melvin said the selling point of this house is the location. It’s primo. Right on Main Street situated between the recently constructed city library and town hall. Just beyond the fence out back is a city park. It’s the ideal location for a CPA, attorney, or even a doctor that wants a spot in town and likely, the best commute on the block.

The house is set on over half of an acre and inside it’s 1,700 square feet. On the home side, there are two bedrooms, one and one-half bath,s and two living areas. On the shop side, it’s knick-knack city.

Doesn’t this whole thing feel like the set-up of a romantic comedy?

Where the presumable heroine gets out of a messy relationship and decides to head to a small town to heal? She just left a high-powered job in a “business” and she’s looking for a fresh start. She’s going to open a bookstore, yarn barn, or cupcakery. In walks the surly local handyman. He’s tough on the outside, but tender on the inside. Not unlike a Skittle. They butt heads for most of the film but eventually fall in love when they realize they’re both gluten-intolerant. (It’s a modern tale.)

Find the sweet redemption you’ve been searching for at 317 W. Main Street in Azle. It will only cost you $399,000.
