How would you like to enjoy a snippet of Fort Worth’s famed Japanese Gardens in your backyard? Sound like a dream? This new listing in Westover Hills can make that dream a reality. It’s a rare post-modern contemporary masterpiece with a true architectural legacy. Step inside 2005 Indian Creek Drive.
Built in 1977, this four-bedroom four-bath home spans over 4,000 square feet. But, its outdoor space is something else entirely. The backyard was designed by famed architects Kingsley K. Wu and Albert S. Komatsu. The duo designed Fort Worth Botanic Garden’s jewel, its Japanese Garden. Landscape architect Kingsley Wu conceived the master plan for the lavish garden with its water elements, walkways, bridges, rock garden, koi ponds, and tea house. Albert Komatsu designed the stately main gate entrance in 1973.
The new listing at 2005 Indian Creek boasts yet another collaboration by the duo. The home has been owned by the same family since 1984. The listing states, “This home has never been on the market-until now,” with a hidden garden of historic significance.
2005 Indian Creek is a Modernist Retreat Like No Other
From the front of the home, its circular drive is capped by a dramatic live oak tree and an equally dramatic gabled roofline. A blue stone walkway leads to the double-sided iron front door. You enter the home’s second floor.
Inside, the slanted roofline is reinforced on the stone-tiled fireplace wall. The open floor plan sweeps through the living room to the dining room to your left. The kitchen is clad in white cabinetry and Saltillo tile. The entire length of the space is framed by greenery peeking from the wall of windows, with backyard views from the railed balcony.
The primary is on the main level, with three more bedrooms and a game room on the lower level. 2005 Indian Creek is another Fort Worth home with historic appeal.
Backyard Wonderland Filled With Tranquil Japanese Authenticity
Patios and decks are positioned to take in the backyard’s beauty. Pagodas are situated around the garden, with mature Japanese maples and meandering walking paths. Rock outcroppings add to the design, creating walls for Indian Creek, which flows through the yard.
A central plunge pool with built-in waterfall is surrounded by a Japanese tea house, and multiple decks perfect for indoor-outdoor living. Layers of decks, rocks, bridges and plantings come together to dazzling effect.
The serene escape is a rare creation by famed landscape architects. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to enjoy the sanctuary and own a notable home in Westover Hills.
