There’s something about living in a university town. While there is much more to Fort Worth than Texas Christian University, the city benefits greatly from having a beautiful campus smack-dab in the middle of town.
If you’ve never been to the TCU campus, you certainly need to check it out. While they might have overdone the blonde brick all over the place, the campus is spacious, filled with mature trees, and fits nicely within the surrounding residential neighborhoods.
University Place
One such neighborhood is found just northeast of campus is fittingly named University Place. The streets of University Place are filled with mature trees that create a canopy of shade, sidewalks and beautiful period-style homes of the 1920s and 1930s.
The home at 2718 Cockrell Avenue is located only a few blocks from the north boundary of the TCU campus near the College of Fine Arts.
This bungalow built in 1926 has an extraordinary front porch that is deep and wraps two sides of the home. It is the perfect spot to relax and listen to the bells of the nearby churches and enjoy the day … with an adult beverage of course.
Bungalow Living
Featuring 1,756 square feet of open living space, 2718 Cockrell Avenue is a traditional bungalow plan with the family, dining, and kitchen in sequential shotgun order — allowing for all bedrooms to be on the corresponding side of the home.
Original hardwood floors, fresh and lively colors, beautiful materials, and plenty of natural light adorn the home. There is also a large backyard that is very inviting for gatherings or pre-game events.
2718 Cockrell Avenue is listed by Susanna Gorski Bartolomei of Williams Trew Real Estate. The home is available for $475,000.
