April 30, 2024 | Joy Donovan | | Tuesday Three Hundred

Zip, zip, zip. Buying this cottage in the Arlington Heights neighborhood will get you zipping to where you want to be.

Want to learn at Arlington Heights High School? Zip there in two minutes by car and eight minutes on foot. Want to shop at Central Market? Zip there in two minutes by car and 11 minutes on foot. Want to take care of business at Fort Worth’s City Hall? Zip there in eight minutes by call and, well, more than an hour on foot.

Convenience to important Cowtown spots is one big reason to give this 1,250-square-foot house in one of Fort Worth’s favorite neighborhoods a look.

“I just like that it’s central in the city,” listing agent Cathy Frederick with Monument Realty said. “It’s close to work, entertainment, and parks. Fort Worth has so much to offer. It’s close to I-30, you can bike, you can bike or run on the Trinity River.”

But there are other reasons to check out this house.

“It has a lot of potential,” Frederick said.

A blue-floored porch leads to the front door.

Blue on Blue on Curzon Avenue

The 1941 home makes a tidy appearance with a sidewalk leading up to a blue-floored porch and white front door. The on-trend blue color floats through the house on kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities. The white walls allow artwork and décor to pop in this cute abode in a popular neighborhood.

Another selling point is this two-bedroom and two-bathroom house features renovations that combine vintage charm with modern amenities.

The buyer gets hardwood floors, plus a modern open-concept floor plan. The living room, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, opens to a kitchen with stainless steel appliances including a gas range, and a built-in microwave. Generous cabinets and granite counter space make this a sufficient kitchen for most cooks, who’ll enjoy the updated lighting. Even with this house’s small size, there’s a dedicated dining space.

Blue kitchen cabinets accent the kitchen.

A blue vanity carries the color theme into the bathroom.

Excited About Laundry?

Instead of the washer and dryer being located in the garage—common for a house of this size and era—this house offers a true laundry room. Located just off the kitchen, it will accommodate a full-sized washer and dryer. Modern features also include a tankless water heater.

Situated on a corner lot, the mature trees are a bonus. A backyard storage unit adds more storage, making it a great place to deposit tools, equipment, and a lawn mower.

There’s a dedicated dining spot in this small house.

“There are a lot of new people moving into the neighborhood,” Frederick said. “People have been buying these homes and renovating them and updating them. I think it would be a great investment.”

Another reason to take a look at this Fort Worth listing is its neighborhood comes with a ready-made social organization. Per its website, the group won’t tell you what color the house must be painted, but it exists for socializing and community building.
