I only got wind of this listing at 2519 Willing Avenue last week from my neighbor and one of the listing agents Lisa Logan last week, but it went live too late for my Fort Worth Friday deadline. This week I was eager to feature this 1,700 square foot charmer because it’s just so picture-perfect in so many ways, but it seems I’m late to the party.
The three-bedroom, two-bath cottage went under contract yesterday, though showings are ongoing. I’m hardly surprised. The house sits on one of the liveliest streets in historic Ryan Place, inhabited by many families with young children and sidewalks peopled by dog walkers and pram pushers. In Ryan Place front porches aren’t mere idle vestibules, but active areas for people watching and neighborly visits.
The 1932 cottage retains all of its original features including windows and hardwood floors all beautifully restored to impeccable condition. Criss-crossing beams define the living room with fireplace an effective architectonic touch repeated in the dining room. Rooms are bright and sun drenched. A strong axis provides an uninterrupted site line from front to back with the living room, dining room and kitchen forming an eye pleasing enfilade.
The renovated kitchen is quite large for a house of this vintage allowing space for a prep island and breakfast area. Updates include abundant cabinetry, quartz surfaces and appliances. Fashionable brass hardware and on trend blue cabinet color completes the ambience.
One of the bedrooms at front, off the living room, is being used as an office. The primary bedroom at back is illuminated by two walls of windows. Connected, is an en suite bath also completely renovated with top-of-the-line fixtures and fittings.
Buyers can enjoy peace of mind knowing the updates are deeper than skin deep and include under-warranty foundation work, updated electric, plumbing, and a new roof. Ryan Place enjoys an optimal location with nearby Magnolia restaurants, parks, and TCU all within easy reach.
