In 2017, construction was complete on this Fort Worth mansion, a custom dream home. A home with more thought and detail than you’re even thinking right now. One of the most incredible things about this home is how much it’s loved — by the owner and listing agent — Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty’s Renee Eiband.
A Fort Worth Mansion With a Great Great Room
It all started with a vision for a great room. The owner had in her eye a room that was extra, extra wide with the most amazing ceilings and intricate details. She wanted a space that could accommodate several seating areas with the flexibility to truly make it whatever your heart desires. It would become the space where every party started, anchored with an equally grand dining room and exquisite kitchen.
The owner hand-selected the property – it had everything she was looking for including the perfect dimensions and perfect location. It was the one where she knew she could bring her incredible vision to life. Eiband said it’s unusual to find such a wide lot in this area, but once the owner came across it, intuition took over.
The well-thought out details in this home — and the great room in particular — are what set it apart. Framing the ceiling are hand-hewn beams that were reclaimed from a barn in Detroit. They pre-date the Civil War. The three chandeliers running the length of the room are all antique and imported from France. In fact, every chandelier in this home came from France.
In the kitchen, an exotic quartzite with incredible graining tops the most expansive island I’ve ever seen. We all know this is where the party is going to end up, so of course, there’s plenty of space for a generous catering menu — and extra seating including a custom bench. On the perimeter countertops, you’ll find gorgeous complementary quartz.
The entertaining flow continues with a set of French doors leading to the impeccably bricked patio and effortless pool surrounded by artificial turf.
In the front of this Fort Worth mansion, a forecourt sets the stage for the level of elegance you’re about to encounter.
Throw open the front doors and take in the marble floor and floating staircase. It’s the kind of home you want to call your own. There’s a 500-bottle wine room with temperature control inside the main quarters. There’s also an ensuite bathroom in every bedroom – including this clawfoot bathtub set inside a wet room upstairs.
The wallpaper selection and interior design on this Fort Worth mansion easily rival the architecture. It’s the mix of nostalgic grandeur and modern that makes this one unforgettable.
If you think it’s the type of home where guests linger for days, you’re not wrong. That’s where the guest quarters out back with a complete kitchen come in very, very handy.
If you’d like a tour, Eiband can accommodate. She truly knows and loves every inch of this home. The incredible estate at 4212 Tanbark Trail is a sprawling 6,236 square feet set on .41 acres and offers five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and four living areas. It’s listed at $3.5 million.
