(Candy’s Dirt) — If you are a Fort Worth Friday follower, you probably know that if I’m shown beautifully-executed stucco work and a red tile roof villa, I’m all in. Throw in a corner lot at 2501 Rogers Avenue and Park Hill in University Place and I am, well, ardently enthusiastic. Only seven days on the market, it’s a safe bet that this beauty won’t last long.
The stucco work of the mediterranean-style villa is truly exquisite with a graceful double curved, recessed door frame and a protruding box logia contributing strong curb appeal. If you are looking for low maintenance, the front and a small side garden are the sum of your landscape burden.
The foyer doesn’t disappoint with its groin-vaulted ceiling and chevron-patterned floor leading to the staircase. Built in 2007, the floor plan of the 3,225-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-and-one-half bath home is modern and open with a separate room at front for use as a library or dining room.
The great room is expansive with tall French windows, with views of the side garden which flood the space with abundant light. At one end is a fireplace between two symmetrical bookcases. An island/bar separates the kitchen area featuring a professional grade gas cook top and range.
The principle bedroom has access to a second floor balcony. Put a coffee maker in the bath and you’re set for morning. Speaking of the bath, it’s a bit of a let down-fairly basic and begging for an upgrade.
The second full bath is an improvement with a nice shower stall and tub with stunning Hispano-Moresque tiles.
The walled private side garden is mostly hardscape slate with a little dirt to install vines or small trees. The two car garage is at back with access from the alley.
