Move Over Goldilocks: This Weatherford Cottage Is Fairytale Worthy
Share News:
Once upon a time, there was a stressed-out person trying to escape the traffic, the noise, and even so many people.
A charming red cabin in the woods, nestled among trees, shrubs, and flowers, could be the escape from it all in the North Texas metropolitan area. Quaint as something Goldilocks would happen upon, this Weatherford house looks straight out of a storybook. Hansel and Gretal might call this home or maybe an ordinary person trying to run away from traffic jams and noisy neighbors.
Fairytale Living in the Suburbs
Walk up the flag stone sidewalk surrounded by native landscaping and take a look at 805 Trenton St. in Weatherford. Imagine a fairytale life living in a red cottage with picturesque paths leading to sitting areas. The two-story, built by McKie Wing Roth, Jr. in 1990, sits on almost half an acre. The unique property, surrounded by other home, is on a cul-de-sac in this increasingly popular Fort Worth suburb.
“It really is like a fairytale.” said Realtor Rose Weaver who has the home listed with Marie Pigg Real Estate. “It feels like you’re walking through a park with native flowers. It’s mystical. It’s really, really awesome.”
Open the door to a custom house that’s far from a cookie-cutter repeat from a builder’s standard model. Adding to the unique feel is the distinctive staircase handrail, created from a crepe myrtle limb from this very yard. “It really fits the aesthetic of the home,” Weaver said.
Reclaimed Wood and Apothecary Cabinets
The 100-year-old wood floors, reclaimed from a Fort Worth Baptist Church, are found throughout its 2,022 square feet, and both the living room and kitchen feature shiplap ceilings. Cabinets, trim, and doors are constructed from wood, the windows have been upgraded to Pella, and storage is extensive. A two-sided fireplace adds a cozy feel to the living room and the dining room.
The kitchen boasts custom apothecary cabinets which should delight anyone who enjoys cooking. Granite counters and a six-burner gourmet stove complete the kitchen. The primary bedroom is conveniently located downstairs, while two additional bedrooms and a flexible space suitable for an office or library are found upstairs.
Outdoor Space Reserved for Fun
Step outside to find a saltwater pool, hot tub, and a cabana with a bar and mini-fridge, perfect for relaxation and entertainment. The charming she-shed and covered planting area make this house ideal for someone with hobbies. The detached garage has space for two cars, providing ample storage and convenience.
“It’s a fabulous property,” Weaver said. “I love this home.”
Whether you dream of being Goldilocks, Hansel, Gretel, or simply someone seeking a tranquil haven, this house promises a happily-ever-after.
Rose Weaver with Marie Pigg Real Estate has 805 Trenton St. listed for $570,000.
