Try to work the furnishings into the offer on this Fort Worth home

Homes on the market today typically don't come furnished. But when a home is as cute and stylishly staged as this one at 1621 Western Ave. in the Hillcrest Addition, it might be worth it to ask.

It turns out that the decorating job is the work of Tina McMackin and Alyson French with Arrange Home Staging.

"It is my brother-in-law's home that was used as a rental," Williams Trew listing agent Alann Nolan says. "I decided it needed some love, and I truly believe it got it from these two!"

Clocking in at 2,027 square feet, the home has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It also boasts two livings areas and a flex space that is currently being used as a sitting area and an office.

The kitchen and dining room, always high traffic areas, are ripe for entertaining, with the dining room offering ample space to fit a large, long dining table for hosting holiday get-togethers or family meals. The breakfast nook just off the heart of the kitchen is flooded with natural light, making it the ideal space for your morning coffee-and-news fix.

TCU tailgaters will be pleased to learn that the backyard offers an optimal setup for hosting football parties. The large cement patio can house a good-sized table for outdoor meals or an epic appetizer spread. A green space (that could use a little TLC) gives ample space for the kiddos to run around and play.

Located in the Hillcrest Addition, with River Crest Country Club just a block away, the home's location can't be beat either. It's within a stone's throw of some of Fort Worth's best offerings, including West 7th Street and the Cultural District.

The current asking price, sans furniture (for now), is $490,000.

Closure News

American Freight furniture chain to shut down 2 Fort Worth-area stores

American Freight

There's a big sale going on at American Freight.

There's a huge sale on furniture going down right now, but for a sad reason: American Freight, a chain of furniture stores operating in dozens of states, is permanently shuttering all 328 locations, due to “sustained inflation and macroeconomic challenges,” according to its parent company.

That includes two Fort Worth-area stores, part of seven stores overall in the Dallas-Fort Worth.

The closing comes after its parent company, Franchise Group, Inc., filed for bankruptcy protection, according to documents filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware.

Store closing sales began on November 5, both online and at its 328 locations. Hilco Consumer-Retail is managing these sales for American Freight as the business winds down its operations nationwide. Significant discounts are being offered on the brand's full assortment of inventory.

Shoppers can save up to 30 percent off the lowest ticketed prices storewide. Available items include living room sets, bedroom furniture, dining tables, and a selection of scratch & dent and new in-box appliances, such as refrigerators, washers and dryers.

New inventory is arriving and expected to move quickly, so customers should take advantage of this prime opportunity to enjoy exceptional deals before it's too late.

"Our goal is to deliver outstanding value to customers during this full chain closing sale," said Ian Fredericks, CEO of Hilco Consumer-Retail. "Everything is on sale and must be sold, and we recommend shopping early for the best selection."

During the store closing sales, select American Freight financing and delivery services will remain available to customers, presenting a unique opportunity to shop exceptional discounts with the convenience of flexible payment and home delivery.

The chain has 39 stores in Texas, including 7 in DFW and two in Tarrant County, all closing as follows:

401 Southwest Plaza, Ste 105, Arlington
1265 Town Square Dr, Fort Worth
1825 Westpark Dr Grand Prairie
2964 W Wheatland Rd, Dallas
