Two homes on one lot in Fort Worth’s historic Fairmount neighborhood: a restored 1917 Craftsman with four en-suite bedrooms and a permitted detached cottage with its own address that has rented for $1,600 per month, or $19,200 annually. At 1729 S. Adams Street, the two residences offer approximately 3,402 square feet of combined living space, with five bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms in total. Major updates include new plumbing, HVAC and ductwork, insulation, electrical upgrades, and new 30-year roofs on both structures installed in May 2023. A full list of updates is available. The approximately 2,884-square-foot main home pairs historic character with modern systems. Exposed wood beams, natural woodwork, and hardwood floors complement the spacious living room with its wood-burning masonry fireplace. The kitchen features a stone breakfast bar and commercial-grade range, with a walk-in pantry and storage room nearby. A dedicated laundry room adds convenience. Every bedroom has a private bath and generous closet space, including two primary suites. An upstairs bonus room adds flexibility. Two suites have private exterior entrances onto the classic covered porch, offering options for extended family, guests, or a home office. The approximately 518-square-foot detached cottage has a private entrance, full kitchen, bedroom, bath, living area, and outdoor space. Its separate address and rental history offer flexibility for someone who wants to live in one residence and rent the other, accommodate guests, or keep family close by. The property appraised for $779,000 in late 2025. Just blocks from Magnolia Avenue’s coffee shops, dining, and nightlife, the home is also near the Medical District, Near Southside, Downtown Fort Worth, and TCU. Explore the possibilities of a historic Fairmount home with a separate cottage. Schedule a showing today.
Fairmount, located between Downtown Fort Worth and the Medical District, is a historic and walkable Fort Worth neighborhood with a deep porch-lined streetscape and a strong preservation streak. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Magnolia Avenue at 8th Avenue, where coffee counters, chef-driven dining rooms, and small storefronts keep the sidewalks active. Local pillars include the Near Southside’s Magnolia Motor Lounge, the live-theater stage at Amphibian Stage, and the galleries and events at Arts Fort Worth. Early-20th-century Craftsman bungalows and Tudor Revivals set a consistent architectural rhythm. Pocket parks and tree canopy soften the grid, while bike lanes and wide sidewalks support a street-level pace. The result feels urban without losing its residential calm.
