\"\"<\/p>\n

There are those who can\u2019t wait for the pumpkin-spiced everything. Well, the best seat in the house to sip that super-sweet stuff is definitely the front porch.<\/p>\n

Yep, once the 100-degree weather packs up and leaves, sitting on a front porch<\/a> can be what some of us wait for, finally able to breathe without being in the A\/C. Add some rocking chairs, and it is the right excuse to sit down and think about a cup of coffee and wish next for true sweater weather. It\u2019s a great way to meet the neighbors, too. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s where that can happen\u2026the house at 4117 Locke Ave. in Fort Worth is ready with a front porch that\u2019s got to be one of the best on Locke Block. That porch? Space for three rocking chairs AND a porch swing.<\/p>\n

Sigh.<\/p>\n

\"\"Morning,, noon, or night, this porch is ready to rock.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a historical house built in the 1940s with a large front porch,\u201d said Hunter Richard with Compass Real Estate who could visualize her family living in this house. \u201cWe could drink coffee while watching our kids ride their bikes. If that was my house, I\u2019d sit with my husband after we put our kids to bed and relax together with a glass of wine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Double Decker<\/p>\n

Family life seems to be the purpose of this house that easily could be a multi-generational arrangement. From the fab front porch, the door opens to a living room with a fireplace, dining room, kitchen, office, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The downstairs? It\u2019s pretty much the same options\u2013two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room with another fireplace, a kitchen, and a dining area. It\u2019s ready for a mother-in-law, nanny, or college student to set up housekeeping.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt could be whole other living quarters,\u201d Richard said.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s even more. The property contains a back house of about 200 square feet with its own bath and kitchen, already plumbed and powered. While rocking on the front porch, the new owner could decide whether it could be an art studio, home office, or rental property.<\/p>\n

\"\"The house includes two living areas and two fireplaces.<\/p>\n

\"\"The 1940s house is ready for entertaining with a contemporary chandelier in the dining room.<\/p>\n

\"\"Original hardwood floors can be found in this Arlington Heights home.<\/p>\n

Arlington Heights Rarity<\/p>\n

The 1940s house claims a full acre in the very popular Arlington Heights. In a neighborhood where most houses measure under 1,900 square feet, this one is a grand 2,444 square feet. Even though it was built 85 years ago, the house includes updated bathrooms, fresh paint, and a replaced HVAC. The primary kitchen is a great chef\u2019s kitchen, Richard said, complete with a walk-in pantry, a rarity for a house of this vintage.<\/p>\n

\"\"The kitchen is complete with updated countertops and a walk-in pantry.<\/p>\n

\"\"A home office here gives a bright outlook with this wall of windows.<\/p>\n

The location puts this house in walking distance to Central Market What great exercise \u2014 walk there, shop, and bring back beautiful pumpkins to decorate the big front porch. Maybe it would be enough to inspire a porch party with some pumpkin-spiced beverage.<\/p>\n

The house, priced at $479,950, is below market value per square foot for this popular area, Richard said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want a steal of a deal in Arlington Heights with plenty of bedrooms, plenty of bathrooms, and a huge backyard for entertaining, this is your house,\u201d Richard said. \u201cIt\u2019s a rare gem.\u201d <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a rare gem with a fun front porch.<\/p>\n
