South Hempill Heights House Brings The Charm Without a Fairmount Price Tag

People flock to Fort Worth’s popular Fairmount Historic District for its charm, historic homes, beautiful trees, and walkable community. What if you could have all that without the Fairmount price tag and the accompanying bidding war to get it? Look no further than South Hemphill Heights.

This darling house in Fort Worth’s South Hemphill Heights has all of that going for it — without the steep Fairmount price tag. Realtor Heather Teems with League Real Estate says the same house in Fairmount would cost you more than $600,000. This adorable South Hemphill Heights home is about half that.

South Hemphill Heights is a Fort Worth Gem

“It’s a great opportunity for people who can’t afford to be in Fairmount,” Teems said. “This is a hidden gem in an up-and-coming neighborhood.”

This Craftsman has all the qualities young professionals want. Shade-giving mature trees line the walkable streets of the neighborhood where families have remained for decades.

Located in a family-friendly neighborhood with charming architecture, this house measures 2,114 square feet. It comes with three bedrooms, two baths, and lots of 1920s charm.

“It is really cute,” Teems said. “It’s a great house.”

The huge, covered porch makes it a wonderful place for early morning coffee or evening cocktails. In the living room, the fireplace is flanked by built-in, glass-front bookshelves on one side and a very practical fold-out desk on the other. Colorful stained-glass windows rise above. Light walls and multiple windows contribute to the home’s light and bright feel.

“It’s got the original windows,” Teems said. “You can’t take those out because they’re so beautiful.”

Make it 1920s But Modern

Updates to the house include a fresh landscape and even a sprinkler system — a feature not often found in this neighborhood.

The kitchen has been renovated with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and the primary bathroom received a major facelift with a double vanity and walk-in shower. Other pluses include a spacious laundry room, hall closets, and floor-to-ceiling cabinetry.

“It’s a warm cozy house,” Teems said, “and it’s got all the modern conveniences.”

Upstairs is a third bedroom, complete with its own bathroom. It’s a perfect location for a child’s bedroom, a guest suite, or mother-in-law quarters.

“Upstairs is a cool sanctuary with its own walk-in closet,” Teems said.

Close to Cowtown Hot Spots

The home’s location is ideal for hitting Fort Worth’s hot spots. It’s a bike ride to Texas Christian University, and minutes by car to both downtown Fort Worth businesses and Magnolia Avenue’s restaurants.

“It’s such a great location,” Teems said. “You can get anywhere easily.”

The craftsman architecture, the vibrant neighborhood, the location, and the price add up to a great home, in Teems’ opinion.

“It has a great vibe to it,” she said. “It’s well taken care of. There’s a lot of love here.”
