Snap Up This Charming 1923 Craftsman Near Fort Worth’s Cultural District

Embodying all of the charm of a 1923 vintage Craftsman style cottage, 1416 Virginia Place occupies an enviable location off Camp Bowie Boulevard near the cultural district and some of Fort Worth’s best restaurants in the North Hi Mount neighborhood. The neighborhood is largely intact with many similar appealing bungalows nestled between some of the city’s priciest neighborhoods including Rivercrest and Crestline, and is a mere ten minutes from town. The residence enjoys bespoke landscaping which gives it unique curb appeal.

At front are two living areas. Entering, one arrives in the traditional living room. Fans of the Craftsman genre will immediately recognize the classic Craftsman end wall composition of fireplace flanked by dado high built in bookcases with windows above. Original oak floors are in “like new” condition.

The second living area is painted an engaging cadet blue made cozy for private TV viewing.

The 1,928-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-bath residence has preserved its original floor plan, which includes a traditional separate dining room. The tidily trimmed out room is begging for an attractive paint job in my view but on the plus side of the ledger, it’s a blank slate awaiting customization. Can you say Farrow & Ball colour ?

Again the kitchen could use a little “jazzing up” IMO, but all of the big ticket items like appliances, bright quartz surfaces, and modern cabinets, which continue into the breakfast room have all been upgraded. Great faucet choice.

The primary bedroom is at back with a wall of windows framing views of the garden with a pair of windows on either side of the bed. One of the baths boasts a vintage look with black and white floor tiles, pedestal sink and period shower/tub.

The house also is equipped with a full laundry room and a free standing two car garage at back.
