Quirky comfortable mid-century house in the middle of the Cultural District. The retro kitchen is fully equipped for the foodie and the greatest grocery store on the planet is minutes away. Two eating areas, a formal dining with six big arm chairs and a breakfast area with seating for four. The courtyard also has seating at a picnic table for dinners.
The hardwood floors and leather furniture help to make the place family friendly. It is also quiet enough for Mama to escape to town to be alone or "girls night out". The living room is open to the dining room. There are three exterior doors, the entry from the front porch, a small French door to the yard from the bedroom that has a private bath, one off the breakfast room to the courtyard.
There are two kings, one is a split memory foam with separate sheets sets. The beds can be adjusted to raise feet or head and each has a vibration mode for feet or whole body. There is a big bath across the hall. The baths have been updated. Living room can sleep two, each king room can sleep up to three. The double can sleep two. The guest house can sleep two in a queen bed. The guest house has bath, kitchen and small sitting area with one red leather chair.
This is a clean, comfortable home in a quiet neighborhood that your family and friends will feel welcome in.

Why the Owner Chose Fort Worth
This is one of our homes. It is our primary home. We go to the ranch when we need to be there. We are on the road about a third of the time to go to horse shows and three of them are right across the street at the Will Rogers Coliseum. We live in Fort Worth full time APRIL, JULY and NOVEMBER/DECEMBER. Mama uses this home more than Papa as an escape from the country and as an art studio for some peace and quiet from the business.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The fireworks and music from the Botanical Gardens can be seen and heard on summer nights. We have a great view from the front porch. Like to walk to the Kimbell Art Museum for their buffet lunch or to the Amon Carter or The Modern for an art exhibit. It is just so close to all the wonderful restaurants, the zoo, the shopping areas and cultural activities that we don't get in the country where our business is located.
Owner's Map of Fort Worth
We are a Texas ranching family that raises horses, cows, buffalo, rodeo cowboys and state wresting champions. We train and show cutting horses for the public. Our trainer is a member of the National Cutting Horse Association Hall of Fame. We both are AAA judges. We have four children and five grand children.
