This 1928 Fairmont bungalow has been given a new lease on life. The complete refresh, including a brand new second-story addition, adds modern flair and high design courtesy of Yellow Door Renovations. A four-bedroom, three-bath charmer, 1817 5th Avenue has major style points and still stays on budget, listed just under $750,000.

A completely renovated historic bungalow has come to market just in time for the holiday season. It’s “a thoughtfully crafted residence that honors its past while elevating everyday living. The Craftsman exterior immediately sets the tone with its iconic covered porch, fresh paint, brick columns, and unmistakable Fairmount charm,” the listing says.

The historic neighborhood is more than up-and-coming. It’s located just a few blocks from Magnolia Avenue, with “quick access to downtown, TCU, and the medical district, 1817 5th Avenue brings character, comfort, and classic design together in one truly exceptional home.” Fairmont has its own community garden and park.

Historic Details With Modern Upgrades

The delightful entry is centered along the classic covered front porch. The clapboard siding is painted a dusty blue, with olive green window frames and door, popping against white trim.

Yellow Door Renovations maintained the clean and historic Craftsman details on the interior as well.

“The living room welcomes you as natural light drifts through original-style wavy glass windows and across warm wood floors,” they say. “Just beyond, a jewel-box office overlooks the street, and a powder bath offers convenience for guests,” making this address a work-from-home wonder.

Open Floor Plan Updates

The kitchen is outfitted with “a gas range, farmhouse sink, and a massive pantry as form and function blend to create an inviting gathering space for friends and family.” Designer details bring the space up to date with its “rich olive-green island, lantern-style pendants, sleek fixtures, and custom cabinetry.”

The now open concept design flows from the living room through to the linear dining room and kitchen beyond. Walls of windows let the light flood in.

The primary suite includes “a graceful bay window, an ensuite bath featuring checkerboard and stacked tile, a freestanding soaking tub, an oversized frameless glass shower, and a walk-in closet.”

It’s an elegant retreat with glamorous tile work and details worthy of a new build. But here we are inside a character-filled vintage home in a well-established neighborhood.

A Peaceful Palette On a Historic Street

Upstairs, you’ll find the floor plan expanded with its brand-new second-floor retreat. The period design of the stairwell even includes a cubby storage under the stairs. Here you’ll find “three secondary bedrooms, a luxurious bath, and the coziest living area with a built-in bench — an ideal spot for reading or enjoying a quiet cup of coffee during the bustle of the holidays,” they say.

The dedicated laundry room leads to the backyard, where an oversized single-car garage awaits. There are mature trees, plenty of grass, new fencing, and even some white picket details.

Designer wallpapers, plumbing fixtures, and lighting add to the modern charm of the thoughtful design throughout this home.
