Professional Landscaper-Owner Brings Key West to This Fort Worth Home

Ready to party? Here’s your new house.

For under $400,000, someone is going to get a home ready for patio pool parties, fall barbecues, or football blowouts. The house at 4641 Highgrove Drive in Fort Worth is listed at $395,000, and it’s packed with features just begging for a party. Fun times are easy to imagine here.

“It is pretty incredible,” said listing Realtor Chevy Goff with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International. The current owners have spent years transforming their 1962 ranch home into a home where they could host all sorts of gatherings. “They are huge entertainers, and they really constructed their house around entertaining, hosting summer pool parties, and Super Bowl parties.”

Key West in Texas

The sellers, natives of Key West, FL, enthusiastically have remodeled the house in stages during the almost 20 years they’ve lived in this Fort Worth home. The backyard, where this professional landscaper put a lot of love, reflects that vacation mood. It’s lush, serene, and ready for friends.

“It has a funky island vibe to it,” Goff said. You’re in the middle of Fort Worth, and once you’re back there, you’re in a whole different world. You’re transported.”

Around the swimming pool — which includes a waterfall feature — are amenities for making cheeseburgers in paradise. An old hot tub was removed to make way for an outdoor kitchen, complete with mini-fridge, an eight-burner grill, and a sink. The surrounding grass is enough for a dog, yard games, or even a putting green.

Also in the backyard is a pool house, complete with A/C and heat. If the guests don’t use it to extend the party, it easily could become an office, art studio, or storage building.

Did we mention the patio and a rooftop deck? All the better to sip a cocktail under the moonlight. The eight-foot-high privacy fence was added within the past year. The solar panels, added to the roof that was replaced in the last year, reduce the average summer electricity bill to about $65. Those cost-saving panels will be paid off at closing, too, Goff said.

“It’s a big benefit for the buyer,” he said.

Heading Inside

Inside this 1,432-square-foot Ranch-style abode are two living areas, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The primary bedroom features French doors that open out for easy access to the backyard oasis. The white, bright kitchen was remodeled in 2020, which entailed a new floor plan and bar seating.

Now, anyone wanting a spot for a workshop or another hobby gets a bonus spot in the garage. Even as it remains a true garage, it is air-conditioned and heated to keep it climate-controlled even in a Texas July.

Both inside and outside are where the sound system is wired. Goff said party hosts can choose one playlist for inside, another for outside, or do the same in both spots. Whether the sound system is playing “Party Rock Anthem” or “Texas Hold ‘Em” or “Uptown Funk” or “Good Vibrations,” the house is ready for a fun time.

And should the new owners need some party supplies, this Southwest Fort Worth home is near Hulen Mall. Buy what you need for a good time, and party on, friends.
