Mention the neighborhood of Rivercrest to anyone who knows Fort Worth and you’re sure to get a response.
Established in the early 1900’s by leading oilmen who chose the area for their new homes, the Rivercrest neighborhood is widely considered one, if not the, premier neighborhoods in all of Fort Worth.
Location certainly plays a huge role in the desirability of Rivercrest, just minutes from downtown Fort Worth, shops, hospitals, restaurants, and much more. The homes that populate the neighborhood also contribute to the overall allure of the area.
What is a Mansion?
Many will tell you that a home is considered a mansion when it measures more than 5,000 square feet. Some might say the home needs to be above 8,000 square feet to be considered a mansion.
A true mansion is not just based on the size of the home, but the entire envelope of the property. Are there lush lawns? What kind of views can be seen? Is there anything, other than size, that makes the property truly elite and fetching?
At 224 North Rivercrest Drive is a Mediterranean mansion. Sitting on over an acre of mature trees, the home is 6,205 square feet with five bedrooms and four-and-one-half bathrooms.
The stately home, located at the end of a cul-de-sac, also boasts a private entry gate, three-car garage, multiple outdoor areas for enjoyment, and wonderful Fort Worth views.
Recent Renovations
Recently the home has gone through a renovation to make the interior sparkle. Like everything, styles and trends change. Updates include fresh paint colors on walls and cabinets, new counters, tile selections and designer lighting to give the home a crisp and modern flair.
What didn’t change was the amazing primary bedroom suite, closet, and bathroom. The space is so large you might have to drop breadcrumbs behind you on your first visit to help you find your way out.
If you are one who has more than plenty clothes, shoes and accessories then the master closet at 224 N. Rivercrest Drive is just what the doctor ordered. It wasn’t possible to fit the entire closet into one photograph.
Outdoor Enjoyment
Of course a mansion in Rivercrest isn’t complete without beautiful lawns, landscape and scenic views. Multiple areas for enjoying the privacy and serenity of the property surround the classic pool.
Noelle Slater of Indwell has listed 224 N. Rivercrest Drive for $3.2 million.
