“Cool, private, and calming, wonderfully nestled north of the bricks, a stone’s throw from River Crest Country Club.” Those are the words from listing agent Kelly O’Connell regarding her Zen-like home on Harley Avenue in Fort Worth. She’s not lying, either.
We’ve seen many homes in the seven years of writing the Tarrant County Tuesday column, so it’s always a treat to find a home that is unique and exciting and yet right in the heart of Cowtown.
Welcome to 4628 Harley Ave., which is like Kelly said, just a stone’s throw from River Crest Country Club and so much more in the Rivercrest/Monticello neighborhood. From the exterior, the home appears to be a tasteful yet simple single-story home in a fantastic location.
You’ll soon find out this home is anything but simple and ordinary.
Let’s Dive In at 4628 Harley Ave.
Okay, I buried the lede and can’t hold it back any longer. Once you enter the home, you’ll notice that it feels more like a high-end spa than a home. Why? Well, take a look.
Your eyes do not deceive you. That is a spa and pool in the middle of this home! From multiple locations in the home you can simply dive (well maybe not dive, per se, as it’s not that kind of a pool) but certainly take a dip whenever you feel like it.
Wake up in the morning, yawn and stretch, and go for a swim on your way to the kitchen. There’s a commercial during your favorite program — cannonball — while you’re waiting. The soup is too hot at the dining room table, spend a few minutes warming yourself in the spa.
You want to relax? You want Zen-like? You want unique? Well, that’s what you will get in the central portion of this home. It’s not just the pool that makes this home so luxurious, it’s the luxury finish-out including white oak flooring and customized bi-fold doors that allow you to open them and bring the pool into the home.
The kitchen is plenty spacious for this home. Again with beautiful counters, cabinets, and design elements.
Frequently in unique homes such as this one, some rooms are overlooked. Sometimes the primary suite might be lacking as the focus and attention is paid more to the pool and spa. That is certainly not the case in this home.
But Wait … There’s More!
There’s always room for more with Tarrant County Tuesday, and 4628 Harley Ave. has just that. Detached from the main home and pool, is a self-contained mother-in-law (or father-in-law, we don’t exclude at Tarrant County Tuesday) suite complete with bedroom, living area, and full kitchenette.
In total, the air-conditioned living space in the main home and bonus suite is over 3,100 square feet with a total of three bedrooms, three bathrooms, two kitchens, tons of windows, plenty of spaces to gather and yet relax … and oh yeah, don’t forget the pool.
Kelly O’Connell of Burt Ladner Real Estate has listed the home, yard, pool, and even the Zen vibes at 4628 Harley Ave. for $1.2 million. Time to dive in!
