A View From the Top Makes This Fort Worth Property a Special One

Views from a mountaintop overlooking a valley are great. Views from a penthouse apartment overlooking Broadway are fantastic. Views from a helicopter overlooking Hawaii are spectacular. Anyone want a grand, sweeping view overlooking downtown Fort Worth?

Check out 1000 Brae Court in Fort Worth and be prepared for something pretty spectacular, where the views there are truly something to breathe in. This wow experience could belong to someone on a daily basis for a mere $2.2 million. Near the crisscross of I-35 West and Highway 121, this hilltop estate offers stunning views not often seen from just any residence.

High-Rise Views

“It feels like you live in a penthouse, basically, but it’s a single-family home,” said listing Realtor Kim Bedwell with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty. “You have the high-rise view without the HOA dues or condo fees.”

Observing the twinkling lights of Fort Worth is simple from across the back of this estate. In fact, the views might be rather tough to avoid. Whether cooking in the kitchen, dining in the dining room, playing pool in the game room, soaking in the hot tub, or relaxing in the pool, the new owners of this home will be treated to great sunsets and sparkling Christmas lights.

“You can see the views from anywhere,” Bedwell said about the property. “The entire back of the house is glass. The sunsets are spectacular. Everyone loves the views.”

Sleeping in a Treehouse

These spectacular sights accompany an interior worthy of some attention, too. With 6,668 square feet, it contains four bedrooms and six bathrooms. The primary bedroom, secluded and private, feels like a treehouse, the Realtor said. The room’s windows look out on the trees so characteristic of the lush neighborhood.

The home is a part of the Scenic Village development where the single street of houses dates to the 1990s. The small, gated neighborhood is adjacent to Oakhurst, one of Fort Worth’s historic, charming, and heavily treed areas. A potential buyer who likes the vibe of being close to downtown will be entranced.

“The neighborhood is one of the best-kept secrets in Fort Worth,” Bedwell said.

Nearby is downtown Fort Worth, Top Golf, and someday, maybe the long-awaited Panther Island project, not to mention the Northside’s fab Mexican food hot spots. But for those who want to entertain at home, this estate makes it easy.

Its outdoor kitchen, equipped with a grill, sink, and refrigerator, stands ready for a party, and a game room offers another entertaining spot. The pool’s equipment has been updated, as have mechanical systems and the sprinkler systems.

The house, Bedwell said, is in terrific condition, thanks to the current owners’ maintenance.

“They made some investments in getting pristine condition,” she said. “It’s turnkey.”

What’s Most Special

A case could be made for finding a great house in great condition just isn’t that unusual in North Texas. Bedwell thinks that’s one reason to buy this property, but there’s a more compelling reason.

“The views are amazing,” she said. “You can see the views from anywhere. It’s a special property.”

The home at 1000 Brae Court is listed by Kim Bedwell of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s for $2.2 million.
