This is The Fort Worth Home That Allsup’s Burritos Built
Share News:
You might not believe it, but this Fort Worth home was made possible by the famous road trip staple — Allsup’s Burritos.
Another unbelievable fact? It came that close to being a star player in the smash hit TV series Yellowstone. Red tape, approvals, and yadda yadda yadda took too long for the deal to be made. As far as houses, though, it was movie-star ready.
“It is that beautiful,” said listing Realtor Cathie Leslie with Burt Ladner Real Estate. “What makes it so special is its absolute beauty.”
The 2,335-square-foot straight-lined, modern home sits on a cul-de-sac. The previous owners redid the house, which was built in 1977. Then years later, a much more recent owner, a designer, oversaw renovations to give the home a sort of California glam.
“My people just polished it,” Leslie said.
The Home Built by Allsup’s Burritos
Let’s dish a little more. The home also once belonged to the owners of the Allsup’s Convenience Stores, known for its brand of Allsup’s Burritos. Guesses are there have been more than a few of those Tex-Mex treats imported from West Texas and heated up in the microwave.
But more important than its history, this house offers a special open floor plan with high ceilings, tile floors, and walls of windows. The kitchen comes with a modern vibe — stainless steel countertops, sleek storage, and Bertazzoni appliances.
The California glamor continues with the three bedrooms. Each features its own private courtyard and walk-in closets. The primary suite has a see-through fireplace, soaking tub, walk-in shower, and double vanities.
“It fits the bill for young hipsters or empty nesters,” Leslie said.
California Dreaming in The Private Backyard
The home’s floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the lush backyard. The landscaped backyard includes fruit trees, a pool, and an open-air cabana.
“The backyard is glorious,” Leslie said. “It is like California. If you added a little more color, you could imagine being in Palm Springs.”
Ridglea Hills is The Place to Be
Located in Fort Worth’s Ridglea Hills neighborhood, an increasingly popular area, according to the Realtor. The 76116 Zip Code makes it close to highways and within the boundaries of good elementary schools.
“The 76116 area is really starting to come into its own,” Leslie said. “They still have the really large lots, and you can leave the neighborhood from many different directions.”
Listing price for this unique property? It’s $925,000.
“It’s a bargain,” Leslie said. “There is absolutely not one thing to do on the property but you’re getting a glorious home. You’ll feel like you’re tucked away, just minutes from downtown.”
