There are at least as many reasons to want the house at 2201 Hidden Creek Road in Westover Hills as there are steps sweeping up to the grand front door. So many that it might be difficult to tally the number of reasons this Tarrant County estate’s entry into the MLS is getting traction.
“Where do you start?” said listing Realtor Jacob Anderson with Top Hat Realty. “It is incredibly unique. There are just so many features in this home. And then when you couple it with one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Tarrant County, it’s just spectacular.”
The Affluent Enclave of Westover Hills
Westover Hills, technically a suburb of Fort Worth, was once the state’s wealthiest location per capita and remains among the most affluent enclaves in North Texas. Westover Hills has been the home to such glittering personalities as pianist Van Cliburn and boasts at least one home on the historical register. But even without the tony address, this house has a lot to drool over.
Topping the list are his-and-hers primary bathrooms. Sharing a bedroom is one thing; sharing a bathroom is quite another. This house eliminates that friction and goes one step further with the more familiar his and her closets, too.
The home contains four bedrooms and seven bathrooms in its 6,997 square feet. The primary bedroom is located downstairs, while upstairs are two ensuite bedrooms, plus the fourth bedroom-bathroom combo that serves as a “nanny suite,” Jacobson said.
A Creative Transformation in Fort Worth
Another on the list of why this house is exceptional is the creative designs the owners, Sarah McNutt and Ben Gillens, brought to the home just two years ago when they bought it. The house, built in 1988, was missing the creative elegance before the couple transformed it with their chosen furniture and artwork, all of which can be negotiated in the home’s sale.
“When they bought the place, it was devoid of any personality,” their Realtor said. “It’s been really gratifying to see them infuse their tastes into something that was cavernous.”
Sarah, who is an artist, transitioned the breakfast nook into a spot for her sculpture work. But the entire home’s reimagining over the past two years was the couple’s joint project.
“It’s a lot of personalization with their artistic taste,” Anderson said. “Both their tastes are reflected in the home, but it’s a lot of Sarah.”
A Long List of Reasons to Buy
The house truly boasts a list of positive features. A wrap-around staircase accentuates the impressive foyer with a towering ceiling. Cathedral ceilings, three fireplaces, and a wine cellar are part of the package.
Mature landscaping is one of the benefits of living in Westover Hills, and even though this home was built in 1988, beautiful shade trees dot its landscape. The backyard’s patio stands ready for spring entertaining, while the large pool awaits summer days. The pool house has been converted into a home gym, and the yard’s putting green will entertain golfers.
The house sits on more than a half-acre atop one of the hills that gave Westover Hills its name. The home’s curb appeal is beautiful during the day but it “sparkles” at night, the Realtor said.
“It’s a site to behold,” Anderson said. “It’s a real showpiece of the home.”
