This Fort Worth Charmer is Even Better Than Its Photos

Tap the brakes. You gotta see this Fort Worth charmer. It’s under $400,000, and adorable.

“It’s darling,” said listing Realtor Debbie Byrd with League Real Estate. “Every time someone comes into the house, they always say ‘Wow, it’s better than the picture.’ “

This home is in the desirable 76107 ZIP Code. Built in 1947, it comes with a list of upgrades and renovations made in the past four years. The current owners of this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home have touched everything from baseboards to appliances, Byrd said. The improvements even include the unseen but important things like the water heater and sewer line.

“Ask me and it’s probably updated,” Byrd said. “They have put way over $100,000 into this house. Everything has been updated.”

A Fort Worth Charmer That’s Three Miles Away

Another big plus? The location. From its neighborhood with sidewalks, this house is within walking distance of Central Market. By car, it’s close to other important Fort Worth sites — under three miles to the museum district, Texas Christian University, the Trinity Trails, and the Shops at Clear Fork. To downtown? It’s under four miles. As Fort Worth continues to grow, finding a house with an easy commute could become increasingly important.

“It’s really close to everything in Fort Worth,” Byrd said.

The home’s vibrant blue exterior, inviting front porch, and beautiful landscaping make it eye-catching from the street and hint at what’s beyond the front door. Inside is an open-concept floor plan and an actual dedicated laundry room — a rare find for a house built in the 1940s. The updated kitchen includes a wine cooler; it and the refrigerator will remain with the house.

The garage was wonderfully converted to living space, with its own air conditioning unit, Byrd said. The garage doors remain, though, so it easily could be converted back to use as a garage, and this space was not included in the listing’s 1,484-square-foot measurement.

Backyard a Benefit

Out the back door is a sitting area, complete with outdoor TV that is included with the house’s sale. A cute backyard shed holds the homeowners’ gardening equipment, a testament to their green thumbs’ landscaping work on display.

All this comes for less than $400,000.

“I keep telling everybody I dare you to find a better house with this proximity to everything in Fort Worth at this price,” Byrd said. “There is really nothing comparable.”
