Property Description
Steps from the back door of this restored Craftsman stands Traders Oak, a live oak the Texas A&M Forest Service lists among the Famous Trees of Texas. By the Forest Service's account, Henry Clay Daggett & Archibald Leonard opened a mercantile store in a log cabin behind this tree in 1849, a mile out from the fort, and Tarrant County held its first election and first district court there the year after. The house dates to 1924, on a lot platted in 1911, back when Poindexter was still called Pearl Street. Then came 2021, & the kind of restoration old houses rarely get. City permit records document new HVAC & ductwork, electrical, plumbing, 21 replacement windows, new doors, & a substantial reworking of the floor plan. Additionally, per the sellers: a new 30-year roof, wood-lap siding, exterior insulation, foundation leveling, & new decking on expansive front & back porches. What they kept may be the best part. The built-ins are original, down to a telephone pedestal set into the bedroom wall. White oak floors were laid in 2021 to read like the originals, with the east bedroom still on its older boards, & the board & batten is a mix of old and new. The kitchen sits in what was once the second of two front parlors: white cabinetry, a navy island topped in butcher block, gas range & stainless hood, opening straight into the dining & living spaces. Four bedrooms & three full baths, all on one level. Both back bedrooms have en-suite baths with walk-in showers, & the common bath has a freestanding soaking tub & marble-top vanity. The fourth bedroom runs the depth of the east side, a long and light room that began life as a side porch. A mudroom, a utility room, & out back a deck looking onto the park & the oak itself. No house behind you. No HOA. Minutes from downtown, the Stockyards & the Trinity Trails, though this isn't a house you buy for what's nearby. Some places give you history to visit. This one puts it in your backyard.
