Beautiful, completely updated home in the heart of University Place, one of Fort Worth's most established and sought after neighborhoods known for its tree lined streets, sidewalks and timeless curb appeal. With 5 bedrooms, and 3.5 baths this perfectly open floor plan also offers multiple living and dining areas with natural light throughout. The kitchen is a chef or entertainer's dream with a gas range, built in refrigerator, stainless steel appliances, ample storage, a dedicated coffee nook, and a built-in banquette dining area perfect for an afternoon snack and homework. The primary suite features a spa like en suite with dual vanity, oversized walk in shower, and soaking tub, plus a generous walk in closet with direct access to the laundry room. Downstairs, a large guest bedroom with a beautifully appointed en suite functions equally well as a second primary. A well designed mudroom acts as the homes command center with room for bags, shoes, hats and smiles. Thoughtful nooks throughout the home add plenty of spaces to curl up with a book. The fully fenced backyard is a great size for kids, pets, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Low maintenance and ready to use from day one. Two covered front porches and a porte-cochre provide plenty of parking options in addition to the detached, climate controlled 2 car garage ideal as a home gym, with additional attic storage above. Walk to TCU football games (no really ACTUALLY walk!), hop on the nearby trails, or spend a Saturday morning at the Fort Worth Zoo, one of the top ranked zoos in the country, just minutes away. And yes... there's a secret passage you'll have to come see to believe!
