Unique, affordable, and move-in ready — all three are rarely found in a listing description these days. Let’s begin with “unique.” This 1934 build in West Meadowbrook has an appealing, eclectic sophistication in what I’m dubbing Tex-Mex Deco. The stucco walls, devoid of ornament, and flat roof give a modern look to a classic Texas vernacular.
Affordable? This 2,464-square-foot, five-bedroom, three-and-one-half-bath house is priced at just $154 per square foot, well below the $176 Fort Worth average.
West Meadowbrook is located on the Near Eastside an area that continues to enjoy gentrification and price appreciation. Since 2020, values have increased by 63 percent. Neighborhood pride runs deep with a strong neighborhood association.
Then there’s move-in ready. Step inside to be dazzled by a thoroughly renovated interior with premium finish out and a modern loft-like layout. Floors throughout the house, both upstairs and down, are made to look like wide-plank white oak. A gas fireplace gives focus to the mostly open-concept floor plan.
The kitchen has all-new cabinetry, white and gray dappled granite countertops, and new appliances. A large island with a sink defines the area.
Upstairs, the spacious bedrooms with nine-foot ceilings are bright and suffused with light. The largest bedroom has an ensuite bath and super closet that easily competes with some of the best downtown Fort Worth high-rises.
Check out the ensuite bath with twin sinks and a high-style shower stall. Marble patterned porcelain tile covers the end wall from floor to ceiling.
Adding additional interest is the rooftop terrace with 360-degree views. The house sits on a large-ish lot of one-quarter acre allowing for a large backyard. Parking is on the broad paved drive over which a cover could easily be installed.
