Garden Paradise Meets Bungalow Bliss in This Oakhurst Cutie

Imagine living in this red-brick charmer that’s not only stood the test of time, but gotten better with it. The 1939 Fort Worth bungalow at 2517 Marigold Avenue in the Oakhurst neighborhood is like that friend who you swear never ages, but admittedly only uses a simple organic skincare routine, stays hydrated, and gets eight hours of sleep.

Listing agent Natalie Winchester says, “This four-bedroom, two-bath home on 0.248 acres has been lovingly maintained by outdoor enthusiasts for over 25 years. It has all the character and curb appeal you could hope for in your next home, plus a bonus backyard paradise that fulfills your dream of becoming a legitimate homesteader … in the city!”

Spacious Yet Cozy

The house itself boasts four bedrooms – two downstairs (including the primary) and two upstairs – perfect for families of all kinds who need space but still want that cozy, bungalow vibe. The kitchen is huge, with gas cooking that’ll make any chef happy, and you’ve got plenty of built-ins and original millwork to remind you of the home’s storied past. And let’s not forget the gas fireplace, ideal for those rare but oh-so-welcome chilly Texas nights.

Amazing Outdoors

Now, let’s talk outside. The award-winning native landscape is a literal work of art – imagine walking out your front door to a yard that looks like something out of a botanical garden, but without the crazy maintenance. This oasis has been nourished with 100% organic products and practices its entire life. The drip irrigation system keeps everything hydrated, while you enjoy your morning coffee on the big front porch.

As if that weren’t enough, the double-wide and extra-long driveway easily fits your Airstream or water toys. You’ve also got a fully functional greenhouse, raised garden beds for your homegrown veggies, rainwater harvesting systems, and even a chicken coop! Yep, farm-to-table has never been so easy. Oh, and did we mention the storm shelter? That’s right, you’re safe and snug when the Texas weather decides to go wild.

Added bonus: a 540-square-foot accessory dwelling unit with independent access gives you the flexibility to turn it into whatever suits your lifestyle – guest house, home office, gym, workshop or pool house. It’s a super flexible space with parquet floors, a tankless water heater, and independent access to the backyard with pool and dry sauna. And it’s not even included in the home’s official square footage, so it’s like a secret bonus prize.

Fabulous Oakhurst

The Oakhurst neighborhood itself is something special. Celebrating its centennial this year, it’s listed in the National Registry of Historic Places, but there’s no strict preservation code. Tree-lined streets, a park, abundant wildlife, and no HOA to contend with – it’s truly a tranquil escape within an urban locale, minutes away from downtown, the Stockyards and Trinity Trails.

“If you’re looking for a home that’s both connected and serene,” Winchester says, “with space to live, play and grow, 2517 Marigold Avenue might just be your happily-ever-after.”
