In modern residences, such as a Tudor-styled estate home in Fort Worth’s sought-after Crestwood neighborhood, beautiful fireplaces add grandeur and romance to rooms. The six-bedroom home at 413 Crestwood Drive has three fireplaces with exquisitely carved mantels and surrounds. The largest is in the living room, beneath a multi-light crystal chandelier. A second is in the family room complementing a wood beam ceiling. And the third highlights a wood paneled library.
For centuries, fireplaces were used only to heat rooms or cook food. Then in the 12th century, homebuilders moved the fireplace from the room’s center to a wall. That created the chance to design lavish and ornate wood and stone surrounds and mantels, mostly for castles and homes of the wealthy.
On more than an acre, the nearly 8,000-square-foot home is being offered for $3,299,000.
Near the city’s world-class museum district, the majestic, two-story home has a stone façade with a steeply pitched roofline. Inside it is a work of art with hand-carved wooden front door, sweeping staircases and wood flooring.
For the accomplished cook, the well-equipped kitchen has a Carrara marble backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a large island and custom cabinetry. A wine room near the formal dining room is perfect for entertaining.
Relax in the private master suite with a sitting room inside a bay window. Double doors open to a huge balcony.
The marble bath is the epitome of luxury with a jetted tub, steam shower, dual vanities and custom-designed walk-in closets.
Oversized bedrooms have spa-quality baths. A large billiards room has custom built-ins and a sound system with plenty of square footage to make it a media room.
In a large, heavily treed backyard is a multi-use sport court. Two stunning wrap-around terraces have great views.
