A completely renovated historic bungalow, just in time for the holiday season. Reimagined and expanded by Yellow Door Renovations, this 1920s home has been transformed into a thoughtfully crafted residence that honors its past while elevating everyday living. The Craftsman exterior immediately sets the tone with its iconic covered porch, fresh paint, brick columns, and unmistakable Fairmount charm. A second-story addition brings a meaningful enhancement, introducing a highly functional layout seldom found in one of Fort Worth’s most treasured neighborhoods. Inside, a generously sized living room welcomes you as natural light drifts through original-style wavy glass windows and across warm wood floors. Just beyond, a jewel-box office overlooks the street, and a powder bath offers convenience for guests. The primary suite feels as though it were lifted straight from a boutique hotel, complete with a graceful bay window, an ensuite bath featuring checkerboard and stacked tile, a freestanding soaking tub, an oversized frameless glass shower, and a walk-in closet. The picture-perfect kitchen anchors the home with a rich olive-green island, lantern-style pendants, sleek fixtures, and custom cabinetry. Home chefs will appreciate the gas range, farmhouse sink, and a massive pantry as form and function blend to create an inviting gathering space for friends and family. A dedicated laundry room leads to the sizable backyard, where an oversized single-car garage awaits. Upstairs, the brand new second-floor retreat offers three secondary bedrooms, a luxurious bath, and the coziest living area with a built-in bench—an ideal spot for reading or enjoying a quiet cup of coffee during the bustle of the holidays. Situated just a few blocks from beloved Magnolia Avenue and with quick access to downtown, TCU, and the medical district, 1817 5th Avenue brings character, comfort, and classic design together in one truly exceptional home.
