Buying near Ridglea Country Club means landing in one of Fort Worth’s most desirable and established neighborhoods. It’s definitely the good life here. Golf and tennis at the club, shopping and dining along Camp Bowie, and finding Fort Worth freeways just minutes away.
Does a crisp white brick home located along a tree‑lined street sound good, too? And if the price tag comes in under half a million, does that sound even better? CandysDirt.com’s Friday 400 has one to check out.
1951 House with 2025 Style
The stylish residence at 6121 Sharon Road offers a lot for $495,900. It’s a two-bedroom, two-bathroom home in one of Fort Worth’s most popular neighborhoods. In this house built in 1951, there’s plenty of established-neighborhood vibes blended with modern updates, suitable for life in 2025.
From the street, the home makes a striking first impression with its crisp white brick exterior and a shaded front lawn. Brick columns anchor a welcoming covered porch, setting the tone for what’s inside.
The front door opens to bright interiors with hardwood floors. There’s an abundance of natural light, thanks to all the windows in this one-story traditional. Neutral paint and updated light fixtures give the house a modern look.
Open and Updated
This home’s open living area centers on a sleek, gas fireplace and connects easily to the dining area and updated kitchen. In the kitchen, soft gray cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, generous prep areas, and a large island make cooking easy. With a peninsula and breakfast bar seating, the space could be great for casual entertaining.
Other updates give the house a modern appeal. The primary suite is far removed from what a homeowner would have expected in a mid-century house. The reimagined owner’s primary suite, which includes a generous walk-in closet, delivers the kind of peaceful retreat expected today, but with a twist no one in 1951 could have imagined. Instead of the modest bath typical of its original era, this home now features a spa‑like sanctuary complete with a soaking tub, glass shower, and dual vanity.
The owners’ suite includes a spa-inspired bathroom.
Entertaining or relaxing, this deck is ready for either.
A step outside reveals a backyard with a shaded deck that just begs for backyard barbecues, morning coffee, or sunset cocktails. The ample yard has plenty of space for a croquet tournament with friends, a dog to run or a swing set for kids.
Easy Commute
A shady backyard awaits children to play or a dog to run.
The location of this Truman-era home puts it around 10 minutes by car to downtown Fort Worth and about 35 minutes to DFW International Airport. For buyers wanting to stay under $500,000, this updated, yet traditional house might make staying home more appealing than flying away.
