Having a large family can make shopping for real estate especially tough in what is already a difficult market for buyers. Finding enough space at the right price in a property that still has enough charm to make you want to call it home can be a challenge, to put it mildly.
This lovely Fort Worth home, however, has all the amenities and square footage (4,281!) required for a sizable family.
Located close to TCU in the family-friendly Westcliff neighborhood, 3712 W. Biddison St. has instant curb appeal, with a pretty two-story walkup and tidy landscaping. The large backyard doesn’t have a swimming pool (perhaps a plus for nervous parents in pool-crazed North Texas), but it could certainly accommodate one.
The house has five bedrooms — one of which is large enough to be used as a game room — with the large master suite downstairs. The home’s 3.5 updated baths provide plenty of room when everyone is trying to get ready at the same time on rushed school mornings.
In addition to a formal living, a carpeted family room provides a comfortable place for the family to unwind. As it’s tucked in the rear of the house, guests will never know if there are a few stray toys left about. Both living spaces feature cozy fireplaces.
A galley kitchen is not short on space, with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, custom cabinets, and an island with a built-in wine fridge. The commercial-grade range has a gas cooktop for at-home chefs (and younger chefs in training). There’s a formal dining and breakfast room, as well as a downstairs office and mudroom.
Upgraded details such as plantation shutters, decorative lighting, and mid-toned wood floors throughout the common areas finish the home beautifully. In back, an eight-foot privacy fence contains a detached two-car garage, mature trees, and extended patio with covered porch.
The home, listed with Jennifer Deerman of RE/MAX Pinnacle Group Realtors, is on the market for $789,000. Now, we're not saying that’s cheap, but for what you’re getting, it is a pretty sweet price.
The home at 3712 W. Biddison St. sits on an extra large lot.
