Nearing the century mark, this historic residence on Medford Court has watched Fort Worth grow up around it. Completely updated for modern living with stylish decorator details ― it’s one to see. Now you could call this Cotswold cottage, located at 2336 Medford Court East, your home for a cool $3 million.
The style is Cotswold cottage, though it’s hard to think of a nearly 5,000 square foot home as a “cottage.” The style comes complete with a dramatic red tile roofline, dual chimney stack, and traditional plaster interior walls. With one foot in Tudor Revival style and the other in Arts and Crafts, 2336 Medford Court is a charming departure in Fort Worth.
“Not all renovations are created equal,” according to the listing. “This 1929 storybook home has been taken to the studs and revived with unmatched vision, a craftsman’s eye, and a designer’s touch. Its crisp painted façade, pitched rooflines, and original Ludowici clay tile roof — enhanced with an Ice Shield water barrier, copper gutters, non-lacquered copper lighting, and all-new Anderson windows and Durango doors — create stunning curb appeal.”
The four-bedroom, six-bath home was built in 1929. Its renovation includes “new electrical, plumbing, and a reimagined layout for today’s living.” The results fill this stunning home with all the amenities of a new build, while retaining the character of a bygone era.
The kitchen has stylish green cabinetry, herringbone hardwoods underfoot, and brass pulls to match its custom brass-and-stainless vent hood. The butler’s pantry provides organization, an AGA three-oven range adds warmth, and a breakfast nook accentuates the original charm of the home. The opposite end of the space has a second pantry to explore.
The home’s original restored Waterford chandelier still oversees gatherings of friends and family in the formal dining room. Dramatic designer lighting updates the rest of the interior spaces, including the glittering star-shaped chandelier in the living room. Other highlights include Durango doors and a marble fireplace surround imported from Italy.
“Upstairs, the primary suite offers custom built-ins, a spa-like bath with marble counters, dual vanities, and a walk-in California Closet,” according to the listing.
There are three additional ensuite bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, and timeless medium oak flooring underfoot. Each room boasts ample sunlight and tree-top views. Cabinetry is by California Closets in all of the bedrooms as well as the laundry room.
“The lower level,” they say, “has been transformed with an open living area, insulated cedar wine cellar, powder bath, extensive cabinetry, and additional laundry space. Flooring is a warm terra cotta tile, and the walls are painted a dusty blue. A rock fireplace warms the space, and windows let the light flow through the space.
With mature landscaping in this historic enclave, 2336 Medford Court East makes the most of its secluded address. A tranquil herringbone brick patio is situated outside the living room.
Plus, there is a lovely and functional covered patio overlooking the lawn. Its outdoor kitchen is fitted with a built-in Twin Eagle pellet grill, custom cabinetry, and plenty of countertop space for laying out a spread for all occasions. Plenty of room for a sitting area and outdoor dining.
“This rare gem combines timeless character with high-end modern updates —meticulously renewed and move-in ready,” they say.
