Enjoy the Easiest Commute Ever With Cowtown’s Granger Building

What if your commute from home to your office was just a matter of a staircase? Think of the time saved or the long-gone miles on our ever-more-congested North Texas highways. Think of the stress reduction achieved from not white-knuckling it through stop-and-go traffic. Think of never having to put gas in your car again.

Obviously, the easy solution is to purchase 715 Jones St. in Fort Worth. It’s The Granger Building, and living and working here means commuting is as simple as taking the stairs. No traffic, no hassle, no worries.

Hassle-Free Living

“It’s a perfect building for living on the second floor, officing on the first floor, and entertaining on the third floor,” said realtor Steve Berry with Williams Trew Real Estate. “It’s totally self-contained.”

And that it is. Getting to the office is just a quick trip downstairs from a luxurious three-bedroom condo. Built in the 1950s and renovated in 1999, the multi-story property measures 7,698 square feet and sits in the heart of Fort Worth. The office space, a common area, and the garage occupy the first floor, while the second floor is all residential, and the third floor is a spot for relaxing, partying, or sky-viewing.

“It’s enormous,” Berry said of the third-level outdoor space. “It is absolutely set up for entertaining.”

In the residential area, which was once a duplex before it was remodeled to become a single larger home, there are three bedrooms and four bathrooms. In the office space, two doors allow it to easily contain two offices, although the entire space is currently configured for one. Then, the third level’s open-air rooftop is designed for entertaining, complete with a grill and covered sitting areas.

The Fun Stuff

But enough about bedrooms and workspace. Let’s think about the fun stuff that comes with this downtown Cowtown location, which is becoming an increasingly popular part of town for homebuyers.

The building is mere blocks from Bass Performance Hall and an easy walk to fabulous restaurants like Grace, Del Frisco’s, and Capital Grille. The building’s namesake — Granger — might ring a bell for anyone familiar with Fort Worth. A certain former mayor who later became a U.S. representative would have been very close to the old city hall.

The property does include a two-car garage, but who needs that? It could serve as storage for a bicycle and exercise equipment or maybe you could rent it out for parking during downtown mega events. That’s the added benefit of your commute being oh-so-efficient and blissfully seamless. Besides that, this property is just a few blocks to the Trinity Railway Express, so hopping on a train to see the Mavs or Stars play is easy and quick.

The Granger Building is urban living at its best. No yard to mow. No commuter stress. No need to leave to party with friends. It’s the ultimate downtown Fort Worth experience with all the perks of city living, working, and playing.

Steve Berry has this listing at 715 Jones St. for $2.5 million.
