Start the New Year Off With a New Home in Fort Worth’s Popular Fairmount
Share News:
New Year’s resolutions can be everything from losing weight (of course) to stopping that nasty tobacco habit (yuk) to finishing that Pulitzer Prize-winning novel (work faster).
Here’s another thought. How about making this the year to stop renting and buy a house? Building equity over time can build wealth, as opposed to paying rent that goes in someone else’s pocket. Paying that principal and interest can come with a hefty tax break, which is also nice. Then there’s always the added bonus of no more landlord hassles.
So if it’s a consideration, CandysDirt.com is here to help with a house in the $400,000 range situated in a very popular Fort Worth area. Check out this one that’s cute and easier on the budget than many homes in North Texas.
Built in 1920, the one-story house oozes character, yet is filled with modern updates throughout its 1,814 square feet. Overhead in the living room, the coffered ceilings match the stately wood trim surrounding the interior entry ways. The leaded-glass bookcases flank the vintage, yet functional, fireplace, and all of it gives the room a cozy feeling.
The kitchen’s cherry wood cabinets echo the wood trim found in the living room, while the stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops bring the kitchen up to 2024 standards. The same dark-stained wood trim is carried throughout the house, including the home office. French doors make a stylish entrance to this office, which is surrounded by wood-trimmed windows, filled with light, and a great place to work from home.
The century-old craftsman bungalow features two ample bedrooms and two bathrooms. Windows make the bedrooms light and bright, and the bathroom updates were added while retaining some of the home’s vintage look.
The spacious front porch, with space for chairs, is part of the home’s curb appeal. The backyard, too, offers a place to relax, making this house ready for sipping morning coffee or an evening cocktail.
Located in Fort Worth’s super popular historic neighborhood of Fairmount, the house sits on a corner lot in this near South Side community. There’s no need to worry about parking at any of the hot spots. From this Adams Street address, it’s an easy walk to Magnolia Avenue and all the street’s trendy restaurants, coffee shops, and watering holes.
Besides the walkability of the neighborhood, the house is ready for modern transportation needs. There’s gated parking and an electric car charging station. They’re just reminders of the home’s modern touches, making this 1920 house ready for its next chapter.
