Somehow my little city farmhouse landed a spread in the September issue of 360 West Magazine!! What an incredible opportunity and unexpected tribute to my first renovation project. As I am wrapping up this project and beginning a new one, this feature will truly be a lifelong keepsake.
The cedar shakes, heavily treed lot and large picture windows were love at first sight. This home had seen better days to say the least but I was still in love and exited to bring it back. I love a home with a story and the seller’s children and long standing neighbors were sure to fill me in. I purchased it through an estate but the woman was nearly 100 and had lived here since the 40’s. She was an avid antiquer and even featured in the Star-Telegram as an American Junker.
I call this my city farmhouse because thats exactly what it is. This home was built in 1926 and was the farmhouse on the Wells Dairy Farm. The home was sectioned off and the farm was sold to Carswell Airforce base to build base housing in 1940’s. So here it stands in all of its real farmhouse glory surrounded by 1940’s homes and just 3 miles from downtown Fort Worth.
