This Weatherford Address Comes with California Vibe
Share News:
If escaping to California sunshine sounds tempting, take a look at the house at 701 Terrace Dr. in Weatherford. Its cactus garden landscaping sets the scene that looks a lot like Santa Barbara, and the bold turquoise mailbox and matching front door can convince someone they’ve found the Pacific coast.
“People have described this as the Santa Barbara home in Weatherford,” said listing Realtor Heather Kingston with Cates & Company Real Estate. “It’s a very Midcentury Modern style, as well.”
Step inside and the California vibe continues. This house, built in 1978, comes with skylights, exposed beams, and walls of windows that blur the division between the inside and outside. The house is designed so all that natural light in this Midcentury Modern style spills across the wide‑plank floors, the white‑brick fireplace, and built‑in shelving.
The Light? It’s Natural
“The amount of natural light in this home is astounding,” Kingston said. “It’s such a unique and beautiful home, especially in this price range.”
The price? The 2,182-square-foot house is listed at $375,000, good news for anyone with a budget under $400,000. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house is located in a neighborhood that was once known as a community where many Weatherford College professors lived.
“This neighborhood was historical,” the Realtor said. “It was considered one of the fancy neighborhoods in Weatherford.”
Easy access to Weatherford College—two minutes away by car and eight minutes away on foot—is one reason the neighborhood was popular. Popular also describes Weatherford these days, because the Parker County town is a popular place to be.
Besides its location, this house has other perks, too. The home’s style features multiple sliding doors that open to three entertaining areas in the backyard. The creative landscaping, ideal for Texas’s hot, dry climate, makes these spots a wonderful place to host friends and family.
Meant for a Party
The landscaping, the floor plan, and the easy flow to the outdoors all combine for a favorable effect. It shows the house was meant for gatherings, Kingston said.
“You could open all up, and you could have people go anyway they want to go,” she said. “The house’s waterfall and rock wall give the home total privacy from the roads and from neighbors.”
Anyone hoping to check it out will have a chance to see a house with Santa Barbara style this weekend since the Realtor will hold an open house from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday. It’s a chance to do some California dreamin’ while still living in Texas.
“It’s such a fantastic house,” Kingston said.
