Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty | Fort Worth

The home at 1813 Rockridge Terrace in Berkeley Place was built in 1950 and has been thoroughly updated for today. It offers five bedrooms, including a first-floor master suite, and floors of hardwood, slate and tile. The open kitchen is loaded with amenities, including name-brand quarts countertops, stainless-steel appliances, a prep sink, a wine refrigerator, a six-burner gas cook top and a breakfast-bar island. A bright dining room is just off of the kitchen.

Rare perks here include a gated driveway and a three-car detached garage, and the quaint backyard has ample grassy and patio spaces. The home is within walking distance to an elementary school and the Fort Worth Zoo.

Berkeley Place is one of Fort Worth’s most unique neighborhoods. Approximately two miles southwest of Fort Worth’s central business district, it offers a mix of architectural styles, including Antebellum, bungalow, Streamline Moderne, Craftsman and French Creole. The area’s well-known ornamental streetlights add ambience to Berkeley Place, which was named the 2018 Neighborhood of the Year by the city of Fort Worth. The award recognizes excellence in collaboration, health, beautification and social aspects.

In October 1907, a ravine on the west side of this land, described as “a wild and worthless area,” was bought for $17,000 by the city of Fort Worth and turned into the present-day Forest Park. The stone gates at the entrance of Forest Park were built by the city in 1917, and were restored by the Berkeley Place Association in 1980. In the Tarrant County Historic Resources Survey, published by the Historic Preservation Council of Tarrant County, 28 Berkeley Place homes are listed as being historically significant.

The home at 1813 Rockridge Terrace is represented by Carley J. Moore and priced $662,500.
