Isn’t it nice to be flexible? I’m not talking about the ability to touch your toes to your nose or put your leg behind your head (like the Bowtie Daughter can do) I’m talking about the other areas where being flexible is a benefit
We can be flexible in life, love, and certainly in our homes.
Flexible with our homes? Yep. Think about it. How often do our wants, needs, and desires stay exactly the same? Things change with the seasons of our lives. When we have a home that can change with us, that’s a valuable asset to hang on to.
We travel to the historic neighborhood of Fairmount for today’s Tarrant County Tuesday. While it might seem oxymoronic to talk about a historic district with strict rules and guidelines in the same breath as flexibility, sometimes even I amaze myself.
Located in the heart of Fairmount stands a flexible home that meets the needs of a wide variety of life stages.
The home at 1113 Carlock Street is a 2,474-square-foot, four-bedroom, three-bathroom home with beautiful wood floors, open kitchen and eating area and a beautiful and cozy living room with elevated ceilings and plenty of space for festivities.
Okay, so how is this a flexible home? I’m glad you asked.
If needed, this home can be two homes. Two homes under one roof? Yep. This is why it’s such a flexible home.
With a separate entrance atop the garage is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment with a kitchenette.
Because it is attached to the main home and under one roof, it is part of the overall square footage. This flexible space could be used as a rental for additional income, an in-law suite, or a private home office. Depending on the age of the children, the space could benefit a nanny or, if older children reside in the home, could be the perfect place to let teens gather.

Flexible Options
In these uncertain times of rising interest rates, inflation, and pricey gas, what a fantastic opportunity to live in a really cool home and make a little additional income. You could easily live in the main areas of the home and find a tenant to enjoy the apartment while you’re collecting a monthly check.
As football season rolls around, there are many TCU alums that have relatives or friends that would love to have a place close to the campus where they can keep their purple pom-poms and frog legs and not have to fight for a hotel room.
Certainly families would love the space to house the in-laws for visits and not have to worry about paying for a hotel for granny and gramps to sleep.
Now you see how I could connect a beautiful home in Fairmount with flexibility? Check out this fantastic home and imagine all the flexible opportunities.
