No Thanks, Green Acres; I Just Adore Fort Worth’s Omni Residences’ View
Share News:
“I just adore a penthouse view,” sang the glamorous Eva Gabor in the sitcom hit “Green Acres” back in the 1960s.
Some of us also adore that kind of view. Now there’s a spectacular high-rise home on the market that would convince Eva Gabor to trade her Manhattan views for downtown Fort Worth views. At 1301 Throckmorton Street, Apartment 2503, the expansive windows allow stunning 270-degree views of what downtown has to offer. It’s enough to make Eddy Albert trade in his tractor (that’s a “Green Acres” throw-back for those of you too young to remember).
Home in the Sky
Those aligned with Eva Gabor’s idea of ideal living can find what they want at this high-in-the-sky abode.
“It’s a community feel without being in a neighborhood, not only for the amenities but the resident activities, the nightlife, and everything going on downtown,” said Realtor Adrianne Huff Holland, who has co-listed the property with Ashley Mooring, both of whom are with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International. “It’s kind of like a master-planned community in the sky.”
On the 25th floor out of the 33 the tower contains, this single-owner condominium is larger than most. Two units were combined to total the 4,194 square feet found in the three-bedroom, three-bathroom home.
“This one is special because it’s almost 4200 square feet, and everything is completely custom,” Mooring said. “It’s beautiful. The workmanship and the cabinetry are really beautiful.”
Views Better than Lawn Mowing
It’s all designed for a carefree lifestyle. Not one, but two balconies present views of downtown Fort Worth, and the living room comes with a fireplace. Windows — and there are plenty of them — are coated to protect artwork from the Texas sun, and automatic shades cover the windows to block the sun out.
So much has been considered here. “The storage is very thoughtful,” Mooring said. Built-in shelves were installed to house large trays and silver serving pieces.
“The condo lends itself to entertaining,” she said.
If entertaining gets tiring, then going into vacation mode is always an option. Living in a hotel-type environment is a fantasy for some of us, and this Omni condo takes some benefits from homeownership and combines those with perks from hotel guest life. The new owner of this elegant condo gets to enjoy the downtown hotel’s many amenities. Omni Residences have a state-of-the-art fitness center and private residents’ pool, but residents can access the hotel pool. Want room service? That’s available, too.
“It’s like living in the hotel, with all the services you get at the hotel,” Holland said. “You get it all at the Omni Residences.”
Vacation Mode 365 Days a Year
No worry about mowing yards or cleaning a pool. Wine tastings, birthday parties, and book clubs provide a sense of community. Downtown is bustling, and the condo is the answer for people looking for that lifestyle.
The downtown location makes it walkable to the convention center and such sites as the futuristic-looking Water Gardens. It’s an easy stroll to downtown restaurants and shopping, meaning there is no need to retrieve a car from one of the three parking spaces that come with this unit, by requesting the car.
And, if one day, the new homeowners get the Eddy Albert urge to smell hay and see livestock, Fort Worth’s historic stockyards is just a 10-minute drive.
Priced at $3.25 million, this Fort Worth condo is listed by Ashley Mooring and Adrianne Huff Holland with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International.
