Horned Frog fans, what about walking to those pre-game (well, admit it, they’re pre-, during and post-game) tailgates? No parking pass necessary.

Or golfers, let’s talk about avoiding the parking mess for whatever the Colonial golf tournament is called this year.

Sound good? Park your car, lace up your tennis shoes, and check out this house. Recently listed is the Colonial Hills home at 2605 Colonial Parkway.

“It’s an amazing opportunity in one of the best locations in Fort Worth,” said listing Realtor Virginia Durham with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International. “It’s a pretty special house.”

Location, Location, Location

The location is near both Texas Christian University and Colonial Country Club, in Fort Worth and it’s even walking distance to the Fort Worth Zoo. Durham knows it would be a wonderful place to pre-party before attending this fall’s Cowtown Ball. She just happens to be co-chair, along with McKnight Title V.P. Christian Burton, of the Sept. 27 event benefiting the American Cancer Society.

Buying this house might get you a great table at the 31st annual event since the sellers, Ronda and Walter Stucker, just happen to be honorary chairs of the 2024 Cowtown Ball. The couple is selling the family home, as Walter wrote on Facebook, for a good reason.

“After 17 years of loving this home, it’s time to let another family enjoy the old-style diving pool, the park-like backyard, the quick walk to Colonial Country Club, and the excitement of walking to TCU game days via the private crossing down the street…”

Tanglewood Terrific

Built in 1950, the house features much for a family to enjoy, including being zoned for the immensely popular Tanglewood Elementary School. Within its 3,535 square feet are four bedrooms and five bathrooms. The upstairs primary suite overlooks the backyard, offering gorgeous views of the swimming pool, long the site of numerous parties.

Entertaining in Fort Worth style is part of the home’s charm. Among the updates are a bright kitchen and a generous laundry room. The family room features a beamed ceiling and a wall of windows with views of the expansive backyard. Hardwood floors and a fireplace accent the formal spaces, and built-in bookshelves surround the warm dining room.

“The dining room is stunning,” Durham said. “It’s so chic and perfect for entertaining.”

Fort Worth Seclusion

The house sits back from the street on a cul-de-sac lot of .65 acre, and it comes with mature landscaping and lots of privacy. According to Durham, the Stuckers were drawn to the home for its serenity and tranquility, even amid so much Fort Worth has to offer from country club golfing to Big 12 sports to restaurant dining.

“You go in that backyard, and you’re in a whole new world,” the Realtor said. “Everyone who sees it can’t believe it and how far back it goes.”

But what’s really the best part of this property, listed at $2.4 million, remains its super location.

“The beauty is the location,” Durham said. “It’s all about the location, and this is a prime location.”
