The newly listed home is located at 1720 Western Ave., and has been restored by its current owner, who also grew up in the home, which was built in 1943. As part of the restoration, they acquired architectural elements from an antique dealer that included the front door and primary suite wardrobes from Jackie O's apartment — bringing an extra level of storytelling to a home already rich in character.

The front door was custom-made for Jackie by the same artisan who helped restore the Statue of Liberty. It was originally designed to mimic the windows at Ellis Island; a Greek border detail that frames the glass pays homage to Aristotle Onassis and the couple’s legacy.
"To incorporate design pieces tied to Jackie O — a woman celebrated worldwide for her timeless elegance — is something you almost never see, especially in Fort Worth,” says Joseph Berkes with the Joseph Berkes Group at Williams Trew, who is representing the listing. "It gives the home a level of historical and stylistic depth that’s truly special."
The home is situated on a .20-acre corner lot, walking distance from River Crest Country Club, framed by a white picket fence and a gracious front porch with mature trees and a privacy hedge. Listed for $2,800,000, it has 5,000 square feet, with 4 bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and one half bath.
Inside boasts hardwood floors, crown molding, marble fireplaces, and antique-inspired lighting, creating a luxurious yet livable atmosphere. A formal dining room dazzles with ornate chandeliers and tailored trim. An updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, marble countertops, and a gorgeous teal blue velvet built-in banquette.
Each bedroom has its own distinctive flair, and the bathrooms are dressed in designer wallpaper and curated fixtures. The primary suite is a true retreat, with paneled walls and bespoke drapery. Throughout the home, layered textures and historical references create an elevated sense of place.
As a release notes, this property isn’t just stylish—it’s meaningful. Originally the childhood home of the current owner, it was brought back to life in a full-scale restoration that was aimed at saving it from demolition. The result is a home that merges personal legacy with design integrity, blending old and new.
