Blue Beams Brightly in This Affordable Arlington Heights Charmer

A 10-country survey reveals blue as the most popular color. It conveys calmness, stability, relaxation, and reliability.
Need more of any of that in your life? Then take a look in Fort Worth’s Arlington Heights because there’s a bright spot in this bright neighborhood. The home at 4931 Calmont Ave. is a stand-out since it’s painted a bright shade of blue.
“It’s a tremendous house,” said Realtor Josiah Keas of League Realty who has this charming residence listed at $339,000. “The blue really pops.”
Color-Popping Charm
Other pops of color help make this a happy house. An exterior door is painted red, which ties to the red-tiled fireplace, and the kitchen’s shiplap backsplash is green.
“It’s got the classic Arlington Heights charm,” Keas said.
The charm includes much of the original character from the house’s 1941 beginnings. The original highlights are found throughout—that fireplace tile, the moldings, and the hardwood floors.
Then in contrast, previous owners have put money where it matters. Updates number many, including a tankless water heater, tankless water heater, windows, fencing, and plumbing in 2019. The kitchen features granite countertops, open shelving, and a farmhouse sink. The bathroom’s facelift involved a white subway tile tub surround, a vanity with a bowl sink, trendy floor tiles, framed mirrors, and a barn door. Then two years ago, another big-ticket item was handled–the home’s air conditioning unit was replaced.
“It’s in phenomenal shape,” Keas said. “It’s basically turn-key and doesn’t need any work at all.”
The Realtor thinks it would be a great starter home for a single professional, a young couple or someone wanting to downsize. The 1,079-square-foot, two-bedroom, one-bathroom home, combined with the price should make it attractive.
“You won’t find the number of updates combined with the charm of this neighborhood, and the move-in readiness that this house has to offer,” Keas said. “That’s where this one is set apart. If you’re on a budget sub $350,000 or less, you won’t find anything this move-in ready, this amount of charm in this neighborhood “

Personal Endorsement
Keas himself lives in Arlington Heights and thinks it’s one of the best in Fort Worth.
“People just really like the older homes,” he said. “You have a lot of cozy bungalows, some Tudors, and some Craftsman homes. It’s a vibrant mix of millennials and people who have lived here a long time.”
This unique A-frame is part of that neighborhood.
“I think whoever gets it is going to be really happy,” he said.
Does that mean blue skies ahead?
