Set beneath a canopy of mature red oak and live oak trees, this inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the character, space and natural beauty that make established Haltom City neighborhoods so appealing. Built in 1963 on a generously sized lot, the home blends classic charm with thoughtful updates and comfortable everyday living.
The timeless brick exterior and stately trees create a welcoming first impression, while the interior offers a practical floor plan with improvements that enhance both style and function. Updates include select new flooring, refreshed bathrooms and kitchen improvements, creating a home that feels warm, livable and ready for its next chapter.
One of the home’s most memorable features is the fireplace mantel, crafted from a 400-year-old Colorado tree that was struck by lightning. Rich with natural character and history, it creates a distinctive focal point and conversation piece within the living space.
The expansive backyard is a true highlight. Shaded by mature trees and offering plenty of room to gather, garden, play or unwind, it feels like a peaceful retreat. A pecan tree adds to the property’s appeal, while the red oaks, live oaks and surrounding greenery create wonderful opportunities for bird watching. Enjoy morning coffee beneath the trees, afternoons outdoors and quiet evenings in this serene setting.
Important property improvements include foundation repairs completed in 2017, replacement of the sewer system in 2020 and a new roof installed in 2023.
Located in an established, tree-lined neighborhood, the property offers a welcoming residential setting with great neighbors, convenient access to Fort Worth, DFW International Airport, major highways, employment centers, shopping, dining and entertainment.
With its large lot, mature trees, updated living spaces and central North Texas location, this Haltom City home offers room to breathe, space to make memories and a setting that feels both connected and comfortably removed.
