Feel the magic inside this colorful Texas home for sale — that was built for a magician
Magic is in the air — at least in Fort Worth, Texas.
A particularly curious house with a rich history and interesting look has landed on the real estate market for $2.875 million.
The four-bedroom, five-bathroom home sits in the Crestwood neighborhood and was designed by famous Dallas architect Charles Dilbeck, whose style would often combine “an eccentric interpretation of European eclecticism with artisanship, honest materials and straight forward design of Texas modern,” Douglas Newby & Associates described.
This residence was designed specifically for Ren Clark, an amateur magician, the listing on Compass notes.
“307 Crestwood Drive is a unique 1940 home designed by Charles Dilbeck to the specifications of Ren Clark, a local hotel developer and amateur magician,” the listing says.
“This 4,000+ sq ft abode sits on one of the largest, tree-filled lots in Crestwood and offers a blend of history, elegance, and modern amenities.”
Features, per the listing, include:
Formal living room
Dining area
High ceilings
Updated kitchen
Guest house
The home has an array of interesting design choices, including a pink wing, where the primary suite is painted a shade of bubble gum.
Yes, the bathroom is too.
The listing is held by Susanna Gorski Bartolomei, Compass.
