Fort Worth Crestwood Home Can Be a Canvas for Next Owner’s Creativity

A home buyer hoping to insert a little creativity into that next home might consider a certain one-story house in Fort Worth’s popular Crestwood.

Just driving by the home at 3700 Wildwood Road, the exterior paint signals this house isn’t just another boring house. The pale sage green color gives it a distinctive look.

Inside? The white walls are just waiting to be adorned with art. That, in fact, is just how the walls have been used by the home’s current sellers. They’re artists, and the walls invite art and imagination.

“I consider a blank canvas for the buyers,” said Realtor Caroline Parrish with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty. “There’s a lot of room to get creative.”

Ready for a Creative Touch

In fact, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom house would be perfect for anyone with a creative eye. Updates from hardwood flooring to a walk-in shower have been made, yet it would be simple to add a third bedroom in more than one way. A part of the large living room could be subdivided, establishing a bedroom wing of the house, Parrish said, or the bonus room could become a third bedroom if a window were added.

“It’s a house that would be really spectacular with a little TLC,” she said.

Even so, the current owners have completed noticeable updates. The kitchen comes with granite countertops, and the bathrooms have been remodeled. The owners, though, were careful to retain the 1942 home’s vintage vibes. The charming hall bath, for example, features both a pedestal sink and a unique mirror, believed to be original to the home.

“It’s kind of old meets new,” Parrish said. “There’s a lot of modern touches, but a lot of charm from the era when it was built.”

Light and Airy

The house’s highlights also include its surroundings. Crestwood, a neighborhood known for rolling hills and huge trees, helps make this house on a corner lot special. The living room, with painted paneling and multiple windows, is bright with natural light filtering through the surrounding trees.

“It’s almost like an airy and light cabin,” the Realtor said. “You feel surrounded by this tree canopy. You feel almost like you’re in a different world.”

The lot has several features worthy of attention. Its corner location allows space for a pool and for parking multiple vehicles. The property has two driveways, with a long one that includes a gate and ends at an oversized, enclosed carport. That carport has previously been used as a woodworking shop but could easily be used for multiple creative ideas. Yoga studio, art room, she-shed or man cave — it sits ready for imaginative ideas.

The 1,665-square-foot home is priced at $525,000. Imagine the possibilities.
