House Benbrook (United States)
Inspired by the best of European architecture and designed to combine a smart, flexible floor plan with beautiful living and entertaining, this home offers more than 3,200 square feet of stylishly detailed rooms overlooking a terrace and garden worthy of a legacy estate. Located at acclaimed La Cantera at Team Ranch, the breathtaking facade features sweeping rooflines, hewn shutters and corbels and mature landscaping. Inside, the open-plan footprint and scraped hardwood floors draw a through-line for the entire first floor. A light-filled dining room and handsome den detailed with hewn beams, built-ins and a gas or wood-burning fireplace trimmed with stone and a wood mantle await holiday gatherings and seasonal décor. The nearby kitchen and butler’s pantry offer a soothing canvas with touches of pastel blue on the granite-top island, stainless Kitchen Aid appliances including a six-burner stovetop, ceramic tile backsplash and tons of custom and display cabinetry. For ultimate convenience, all three of the home’s bedrooms are located on the first level. The primary ensuite has large windows that overlook landscaped greenspace and includes a spa-bath with double vanities, soaking tub, shower, separate water closet and linen storage as well as a huge, walk-in closet big enough to house any wardrobe. The two secondary bedrooms are connected by a Jack and Jill bathroom with separate vanities on each side. Both bedrooms have plush carpeting and custom closets. Downstairs also includes a 1/2 bath, mudroom, coat closet and laundry smartly designed to include a built-in ironing board and space to house a second, full-size refrigerator/freezer. The second floor is where imagination and personalization come into play. This spacious, carpeted living area features a full bath and closet and can serve as a media room, game room, study, home gym or be closed off to create a huge guest, in-law or au pair suite. While exceptional in every aspect of its design and livability, the outside is where the current owners elevated this home to the extraordinary. To create the ultimate outdoor living space, they embarked on a $85,000+ architectural landscape renovation that includes a flagstone terrace running the length of the house and a covered sitting or dining area as well as flagstone retaining walls, stairs and pathways that wind throughout the serene and stunning garden. Expertly designed and private, the backyard includes an underground sprinkler system and separate water lines and faucets that provide access to watering the planted containers. Lush, shaded and home to an array of butterflies and birds, this space provides the ideal spot for respite and relaxation. Homes at La Cantera at Team Ranch offer the highest quality in construction, design, convenience and exceptional living that is close to TCU, downtown Fort Worth and its renowned arts and entertainment, and highly acclaimed private and public schools.
