Going to go out on a limb here and assume those who love traditional architecture might also appreciate in a big way history. This cute, cute, cute house sits in Fort Worth’s Ryan Place Historic District. Established in the early 20th century, the neighborhood is known for its charming architectural styles that include Craftsman, Colonial Revival, and Tudor Revival. It’s no accident that the neighborhood hosts a home tour each year.

“I think it’s the number one historical neighborhood in Fort Worth,” said Realtor Katie Durham who has the house listed for $585,000. “It’s important how everything was preserved. It’s wonderful how everyone’s yard looks beautiful, and there’s camaraderie here. Everybody knows everybody, and it’s a tight-knit community. It’s a very special.”

Then there are the tree-lined streets where these vintage beauties stand. They add to the community atmosphere here in this proud neighborhood. Near the campus of Texas Christian University, the neighborhood also is close to Magnolia Avenue, the Near Southside street filled with trendy bistros, bars, and coffee houses.

So, living in Ryan Place comes with all that, but this house in particular has its own features to get excited about. This house, built in 1938, comes with the vintage curb appeal and is located on a generous lot with a beautiful, heavily treed yard. The front porch should be enough to sell you porch-loving coffee drinkers.

“The whole colonial look with the columns and the big front porch make this special,” Durham said. “It sits up higher on a hill. Walking up the steps gives it great, great curb appeal.”

No matter who moves in here, the paint is fresh, the floors are refinished, and the traditional look remains.

“That’s the precious look,” Durham said. “The owners tried to keep the unique characteristics of the house, like the unique built-ins. They tried to keep a lot of the original charm intact.”
